  • @IPA_HATER
    @IPA_HATER 13 годин тому

    Thank you for the information! I have a 20’ rod but find the premade owner rigs are too short, but as mentioned lengthening tippet only forces you to fish deeper. I wish it were a bit easier to find yarn marker spools instead of buying precut ones, and the winder box looks excellent! At best I fit 3 foam spools per pocket in my vests or packs.

    • @tenkaraonthetrail
      @tenkaraonthetrail 13 годин тому

      Yeah, I bought the yarn marker spools from Tenkarabum back when he carried them. I don’t use them often so they should last me a lifetime.

    • @IPA_HATER
      @IPA_HATER 12 годин тому

      @ Whoa! Thank you for the quick reply! It’s a shame the right yarn is difficult to track down now. I’ve found pretied markers state-side but am hesitant to pay that price for less than half of what comes on the Owner precut marker cards. Unfortunately I’ve lost entire lines before after fish shake the hook and the rod tip launches the rig into trees so it’s time for me to look into making my own lines.

    • @tenkaraonthetrail
      @tenkaraonthetrail 12 годин тому

      If you ever purchase something from Tenkara -ya, I’m sure he could also procure yarn spools.

    Shakin' off the early almost Winter "gottsta Tenkara fish Blues"? Wonder if that Beautiful last Rainbow caught was bigger than the one that got away? Very generous advice given regarding the Sawanobori 53 Keiryu rod rigged up for Tenkara angling, viewers should be grateful as this is rare disclosure, and not content seen on other Tenkara UA-cam channels. LOL, you are quite the scoundrel having alluded to yet did not reveal the mystery revelation (hinted could risk being hit by lightning) . Where was the Grand entrance of the Sawanobori 63, both perhaps next episode? VIEWERS STAY TUNED!!! Thank you Kris, nice .

      It is made by suntech. I got mine from Tenkarabum but he’s retired. You would have to check either through Tenkara ya or perhaps a proxy. I don’t know if that particular model is still in production but suntech makes other great Keiryu rods as well as Nissin. Keiryu rod company carries a couple Japanese Keiryu rods too.

After 2 seasons of using the first one, I am pretty sure I don't need the spare. Just reply to this if interested, maybe we can exchange emails.

    Kris Kudo's for your Daiwa Master L LL36 Tenkara rod video debut. Only sparse extant Literature reviews by Tom Davis Teton Tenkara & Chris Stewart TenkaraBum exist profiling this rare fine and awesome Tenkara rod. Viewers are challenged to find another UA-cam video ( other than this one ) covering the GREATEST DAIWA TENKARA ROD MADE as it is now unavailable for purchase NEW anywhere! It is worth noting, "Tenkara on the Trail" has this uncanny and intuitive production history to debut the RAREST & FINEST Japanese Tenkara rods!!! Straight off the Daiwa Website regarding The Daiwa Master Tenkara L LL36 : " It was developed to realize the ideal Tenkara rod of master Etsuji Katayama, a leading expert in Tenkara fishing". Arguable the best 3.6M Japanese Tenkara rod made. Now extinct like the dinosaur! LOL. Well done.

      No they are not native to the lakes. They usually have to be stocked at those elevations/locations, typically every 8 years by dropping them from planes/helicopters. Some of the lakes are self-sustaining depending on the spawning habitat.

    Tenkara Tenryu Three Musketeers!!! Kris viewers can appreciate your video capturing the casting action and flex thru out the fight of that Tenryu Furaibo TF32TA. Can I ask were you all fishing at the rods full length 3.2 Meter ( 10'.49") setting thru out the video footage? Did ya fish the whole time with the Red Ass Monkey , or switch up to another kebari? Missed the presence of your dreaded yellow body brown hackle wet fly ( kidding). Nice contest, smallest and largest trout. Every fish on that rod is a winner. Thank you.

    • @tenkaraonthetrail
      @tenkaraonthetrail Місяць тому

      Yes, it was at the longest length with just the red ass monkey. And the future video we fished that same stream on the way back but much further upstream and I think we use a different fly

    Left Oni home for this trip? My favorite type of water, thanks for sharing. We need rain out east, freestones are too low to fish.

    • @tenkaraonthetrail
      @tenkaraonthetrail Місяць тому

      Yes, it was a 7 day trip and most of it in new areas with thick timber and boulder fields. We also share a tent and would’ve needed to bring a second tent, but primarily didn’t want Oni to get dinged up in such a remote area.

    Thanks Chris! I’ve got the Oni Style Coco rod. Big fan of everything except the baby blue color! Great smaller stream rod. Keep em coming, Neil.

    I have the Coco Blue 290 but had trouble deciding on which Nissin Oni to buy - the Nissin Oni 295 or the Nissin Oni 345 - so I'm thinking the Nissin Oni 345. What are your thoughts? Comparing the 295 with the 345, what are your thoughts? You have both. Tom Davis only reviewed the 345. Fred

      Well there is a lot of overlap between the Coco 290 and the Oni 295 if you’re looking to spread things out a little bit the 345 is a wonderful Rod. I did a lot of fishing with that recently and I love that length. If you are completely happy with the Coco 290 then I would go with the longer 345.

    Great set of 3 videos, Kris! I want to echo your findings--I LOVE both of these rods, and while the Coco is tip flexy and the 295 is more full flex--the biggest, most notable difference is definitely the grip. I've ordered some cork and am going to try to fashion a cork grip for the Coco and see what I think.

    Kris very thorough analyses. Factored down to the essence of your review, I opine you basically concur with Masami Sakakibara Oni's thought process. The introduction of the ONI 295 & 345 filled the vacuum amidst the pre-existent Oni rod product line. Within the 3 meter class rods, the Oni 295 is a Tenkara rod proper, it's earlier released "older sibling" 290 Coco (blue or pink) a Seiryu rod. Tenkara vs. Seiryu rod both Oni 100% Classic in design and reputation. No play on words here; Oni rods!!! Are you kidding? Arguably the finest Japanese Tenkara rods made. Final rod selection will be made solely upon the obsessive compulsive mental state aka subjective taste of the angler. ( Buyer beware, either one, you can't lose). My 2 cents worth anyway, thanks.

    Love your informational videos, great service to your viewers, thank you! With regard to the 295, would it be an appropriate choice for bead head nymphs in smaller fairly fast water? Also, knowing the lengths are not the same how would you rate the 295 to the Traveler 27 with regard to capability. The Oni seems like a great little rod, however I can't get past the colors, strange choices unless it's geared to children.

    • @tenkaraonthetrail
      @tenkaraonthetrail 2 місяці тому

      That’s a good question regarding the traveler 27. As a Keiryu Rod, it feels like it has more backbone but it is shorter like you noted. The 295 has a higher tippet rating but I don’t put too much stock in those. I would only be hazarding a guess and I think it would be splitting hairs to say which one is more capable. I don’t have a penny reading for the 295. I’ve caught or seen fish caught in the mid teens with both of those rods. They just do it in a different way. The 295 has a deep smooth bend and the 27 feels like it has stronger mid and lower sections. As far as bead heads yes the 295 handled them fine for me.

    Rats, was hoping you had a Hellbender to ditch (though it makes me feel pretty good about buying one that you're keeping it). I'm looking for a big-ish-fish rod... I'm hoping to target coastal cuts from my SUP just off the beach in Puget Sound. That one seems like it's big enough that it'll handle what I need to to do, yet affordable enough (plus easy parts) in case there's a mishap along the way. If you know anything else that fits that description, feel free to let me know.

    • @tenkaraonthetrail
      @tenkaraonthetrail 2 місяці тому

      Sounds like the hellbender would be a good choice. You could consider one of the Wasatch Tenkara Rods like the T Hunter, but it is noticeably heavier but wicked strong.
