Beginner looking for a good rod
I’m looking into getting into tenkara fishing, but I’m getting a little overwhelmed and confused by the amount of information online. I’d really appreciate some advice from people who have experience with it.
I’m looking for a tenkara rod around the $50 USD range. I understand that I can’t expect high-end quality at that price, but I also don’t want something that’s going to snap after a week. Are there any brands or models around $50 that you would recommend? Also, what length would be best for someone just starting out?
I’m also wondering about flies. What’s the difference between tenkara flies and regular flies used for fly fishing? Can I use regular fly-rod flies with a tenkara setup, or is it better to buy flies specifically designed for tenkara?
Thanks
