These have been pretty popular with rainbows, coastal cutthroat, and brook trout the last few weeks for me. Fairly simple to tie with a couple colors of brassie wire (or this in 0.2mm) and whatever you want for thorax and hackle.

The one with the black fur in the back is the Yamsi Special found in Dave Hughes' Wet Flies. I ran into that earlier this week after I'd been tying these in a few variations, so I figured I'd tie some of those up too. Fur "hackled" wet flies have worked well for me both with western and tenkara fishing.

I am very new to Tenkara and wanted to get the Maxcatch Triple Zoom (short version). It comes in a combo starter kit, but I'm planning on just getting the rod.

This leaves me without any line. I live in Germany, and it's quite hard to find Tenkara equipment here. I asked ChatGPT, and it seems a 3.0# level line is basically just 0.285mm (0.011″) Flouro line. I wanted to ask if anyone has experience with this and if this would work (I would probably paint it neon orange).

I am experienced in UL fishing, and also fish flies with my spinning rod.

Hope someone can help.

Hey guys. After 12 years I'm finally in the market for a Japanese made rod. Looking for user experience and reviews of the rods in the title. Wanted to try for a Tenkara Bum 40 but it seems like they're out of stock.

I would get either rod in 6:4. Only have budget for one or the other.

Cheers and tight lines!
