Daniel W. Galhardo, founder of Tenkara USA and Masaki Nakano go tenkara fly-fishing in the Sierra Nevada. Tenkara is the traditional Japanese method of fly-fishing, ideal for mountain streams. In tenkara one uses only a rod, line and fly, no reel is needed for stream fishing. Originally it was practiced by commercial/professional fishermen in the mountain streams of Japan, who used to catch fish for a living.

  • no customs for shipping??? i dont believe, are you sure?

  • @099A1 Actually, you are right! There may be customs for products going to Switzerland, forgot it is not part of the EU. No customs for shipping within the EU countries, there may be customs charges to Switzerland.

  • hey,

    greetings from switzerland! this is a verry intresting video.

    from where y have the rod?

  • @099A1 We sell the rod through our website tenkarausa . com and it ships directly from our warehouse in the UK so there is no customs for shipping to Switzerland.

  • i looked up this video thanks to feild and stream magazine, now grant it i dont fish streams but i perfer to fish for bluegill on lakes and rivers, how does this hold up compared to my 5wt fly pole?

  • @VAxHUNTER94 Tenkara holds up wel to bluegill and smallmouth bass. I'd invite you to take a look at our forum and perhaps ask other tenkara anglers about their experience, but it's a great replacement for a 5wt rod being used for bluegills, particularly on rivers.

  • shure, and this is realy bad!!!!!! you now a person that life near switzerland????

  • Ma è la pesca che tradizionalmente facevano i valsesiani da secoli!!!! I giapponesi non hanno inventato nulla!!!! Vergogna!!!!

  • The concept is interesting for smaller waters and smaller trout - small being relative I guess! but I'm a big trout pursuer, big meaning 18" - 22" on small dry flies and I just don't see how I could control browns and rainbows that big that can easily run all my fly line out with a rod that has only line and no reel. I should mention I fish large western tailwaters with flows in the 3500 cfs - 5000 cfs range.

  • @tenkarausa Thanks thats good news! Im sure ill look into it, it looks like a fun way to fish.

  • Tenkara flyfishing in New Zealand, so if your a competent angler this rods will hold up. Youtube won't allow me to upload the link, just go to Google and place Tenkara in the search engine and get your search results through Video's. Its with the application program VIMEO
