Thanks for the video and your opinion on the Mutant. Really appreciate the info on the handle. Sounds like the Mutant's handle is shaped a lot like the handle on the Dragontail Talon. I love the way the Mizuchi casts but it's a little too stiff for me. Your review makes me think the Mutant is exactly what I was looking for. I won't know until I get it, but my gut says the Mutant is going to be very popular with those fishing in the Appalachia mountains. Those zoom lengths are the ideal compromise for most of the trout water I've fished in VA, western NC, and northern GA.

Great, I'm glad it was helpful. Yeah, the handle feels great. It's the best of the Dragontail rods I've tried.

Sorry you didn't find your drone - here's a tip for your next one. After losing and luckily finding mine a few times I bought a Zenlife luggage tag which works on bluetooth I think. If you know the general area and particularly if it is stuck in trees/bushes, it gets you within a few feet of the drone. Also painting a couple of fluorescent orange stripes on the arms makes it stand out from the foliage.

I have a ten foot rod but a 12 foot line. And I feel like the extra length is causing my casts to be whipy and floppy if I don’t give it enough energy. Would there be a solution to this, or to buy a new line?
@TenkaraAddict
4 жыл бұрын
Make sure you're pausing long enough on the back cast so that the line has enough time to fully extend backwards. Vary the length of that pause and also vary the speed of of the back cast and forward cast to see what works. Casting a 12-foot line with a 10-foot rod is a little bit harder than casting a 10-foot line but shouldn't be crazy difficult.

I'm in Escalante UT and new to Tenkara. I also tried the Utah killer bug numerous times with no luck. But the simple black dry fly with reversed hackle works here on rainbow and brownies. Forgot it's name but it's just black thread on a #12 with black hackle. That being said, as a newbie I'm sure poor technique is partly my problem. The Hazelton killer bug might work.

I've fished the Utah killer bug a fair amount but have fished the Utah killer kebari a lot more. It's a Utah killer bug with a soft hackle. I think either fly would work basically anywhere in the world on a small trout stream. I've never had a problem with them on the streams I fish.

I recently got in to tenkara, I bought the mizuchi zx340 I love the rod but the casting is harder in the tight areas. Anyway the rod is great it's hard to get used to the hook set when using a spinning rod. Thanks for reading and love your videos you inspired me to start TENKARA!
@TenkaraAddict

Yep, casting is definitely more difficult in tight areas with any tenkara rod. Keep at it! Things like setting the hook and landing the fish get easier, I promise.

Another great video and awesome catch of big fish in that small stream. Just got my brother to get his first Tenkara Rod catch this weekend. I typically use shooting line as a floating line in lakes... it's cheap, floats great, easy to cast and less of a hit than any Tenkara companies branded floating line. I am not a fan of level line, but don't fish streams too often. my brother and I both netted 6 each out of an Oregon lake (Clear Lake), all 10" or better, with largest at 14"... I use Tenkara USA Amago. I appreciate your videos and time with tips and reviews. Cheers.

I think that the rod being in the shorter positions is more than likely giving it a little more backbone. Having it collapsed is making the rod a little thicker closer to the base and I believe that it might be making it stiffer also. Just my guess

Scott Harriman most modern tenkara anglers use solid mono. The traditional lines used back in the day where braided horse hair. There is also tapered mono lines and modern braided lines.

Tristan, as you were going through the thick brush I wondered if you ever got into ticks and how you would mitigate that sort of problem? I fish in the same areas as you do and find that I accumulate ticks - even after spraying repellent all over my pants legs and shoes. I assume that as I wade in the stream I wash off the repellent.
