It reminds me of cane pole fishing we used to actually use cut Willow branches but the Japanese are such Innovative people they found a way to make an ultra-light Ultra strong rod.
Most excellent! I have a 12 footer but after watching your video I'd like to try an 8 to 9 footer for many of the smaller streams I frequent. Thanks for posting.
After watching this video and reading a few reviews on the Shimotsuke Kiyotaki 180, I bought one of them. Amazingly light at 18gms or .6oz. It will be great for fishing some of the tiny trout streams where my other rods are too long. Excellent video about tenkara and small stream trout fishing.
The rod in the video is a Nissin Air Stage 240. TenkaraBum mentions this video specifically, here: www.tenkarabum.com/nissin-air-stage-seiryu-rods.html "The 2.4 meter rods, which at 8' are about as short as I would recommend for tenkara fishing even in the very smallest of streams (and for small fish) weigh just .6 ounce."
If only western tenkara fishermen (who claim to love and respect the tradition) could make a modest effort to correctly pronounce the word "tenkara". They don't even pretend to make an effort.
Agreed. I have tried it. Only deference is the weight and the price. Growing up in western North Carolina I used a fly often with a cane pole. If it's what you like good for it.
Tenkara: Molesting dink fish in the most pretentious and ridiculous manner possible. Hey - if it keeps you guys off of the real rivers, I'm all for it.
this is one of my favorite tenkara videos!!
Love this video.
Great video
excellent, really shows the peacefulness of tenkara. respect.
Tenkara is great.There is a history of old mountain life in Japan.
The best video ever ! ありがとうございます

In the old days Americans used line tied to sticks. Hello Tenkara.

Shimotsuke Kiyotaki 180 Keiryu

What rod are you using?
what brand are the ten kara rods?
how long is this rod?
pretty soon someone will invent a throwline without a the use of a rod
What rod is that ??!?!
incase you haven't found it, its a Nissin AirStage Hakubai 240 rod! :)
I would think you guys would know to wet your hands before handling the trout. BOO!
Try .6 lbs not ounces.
No, 0.6 ounces. Carbon fiber, it's almost weightless.
Tom Beno sorry but no way is it .6 oz. That is less the the weight of penny. Yes I have a tenkara rod, yes a quality on.

I wish the host would just stop and let this guy do his thing.
this is just cane pole fishing....

Yeah but you can charge a helluva lot more when you rebrand it as something Mr. Miyagi and the Seven Samurai do on the weekend.
This is way more delicate and precise than a bobber and hook with a worm on a stick. All I would suggest is to try it.
