Tenkara

Tenkara is a traditional Japanese fishing method that uses a simple, lightweight rod without a reel. Instead of a reel, a long, tapered line is attached directly to the end of the rod, allowing precise control and delicate presentations. It is primarily used for fly fishing small freshwater fish like trout in streams and rivers. Tenkara emphasizes minimal gear, ease of use, and a natural feel, making it accessible for beginners while still offering experienced anglers an effective approach. Its straightforward setup and elegant design make it a popular choice for bridging the gap between simplicity and effective fishing technique.
