I gotta tell ya, this video, especially the part about 'tucking the butt' when they run, has already saved me a few fish. I have been Tenkara fishing for a few years now, I understood how and when to steer the fish(side to side with a big fish), now I am armed with the knowledge of how to save a running(directly away from me) fish. Thank you very much. Nothing worse than having a hole in your skill set or waders!
Thank you from a newb. Replacing my broken tip from grabbing the line on my first Tenkara fish. Got too excited and rushed him in. Crack. So sad. Good news is it cost $15 to get new tips. Got an extra for good measure.
I wanted to thank you so so much again for the info on the power curve. I caught a 16 in bass today on my Aventik Nano 9 ft rod today using your training. It works perfectly!!!
The power curve is no joke!! I inadvertently had a 12 ft alligator on the end of my line after it went after the little bass I had just caught. I remembered the concepts from this video still thinking, "No way, this rod is going to fly apart in just a few seconds". Twenty seconds later with my rod in that perfect power curve C, I finally got my line out of his mouth with my hook and tippet still attached!!! And the rod was still in perfect shape. Power curve works!! Side note, he was caught on an Aventik 9 ft Nano...
Great video. Literally went out the next morning after watching this and hook up onto a 2 ft brown trout. Can you supply a link to the academic study of the Carmen gate?
I just watched a petite and short lady catch a big-sized fish on TikTok. In the comments, someone mentioned the rod being a Tenkara. But I didn’t understand how she caught the fish w/out reeling it in. Can you help me understand?
first, the reel doesn't catch fish. Most effective way in catching with a fly rod s a short line fishing like Euro-mymphing or using tenkara rod. Both method with or without a reel still out fish with a long line fishing. Tenkara rod is more effective in catching than fishing with a reel rod. Fish are every where. A fly fishing rod with a reel is a distraction from fishing.
@@TanukiFishing I guess you'd have to see the video to understand what I'm talking about. I still don't get it. But thank you anyway for replying. I do appreciate it. :)
@@Merrytonic Tenkara rods use a "fixed line" attached (tied) to the tip of the rod. If you watch some of the above video again, I think you might notice it this time round. Typically this is a special tenkara-specific braided line somewhere between 7ft and 20ft long depending on the rod length and the particular fishing situation; it's generally a little longer than the rod itself. To this line a length of tippet (usually thin, clear monofilament) is attached and to this tippet the fly is tied. Once the fish is hooked, the angler draws the rod up from a position leaning away toward the fish to a vertical position (the rod now has a good bend in it). This eventually brings the line and fish toward the angler as the fish tires during the fight. At this point, the angler will usually reach for a net to land the fish (which has the effect of lengthening the angler's arm by a foot or two or more). An angler can also hand the line (grab it) instead of using a net, but it can be risky because most people are not very well able to cushion a late run by a large fish, which can result in a broken tippet or knot failure at the fly. Sometimes, since the line is a little longer than the rod and because the rod is bent, effectively making it shorter still, the angler will actually hold the rod behind them by extending the arm, which can bring the fish closer to be netted. Smaller fish rarely need to be netted (wet your hands prior to handling the fish to protect it's slimy coating which prevents bacterial infections in the fish among other things) and can be easily hand lined and released (mostly) unharmed. In rare cases, an angler hooks a real lunker and gets help from a mate to nets the fish or literally backs out of the water to beach the fish on land instead of risking a tricky netting. Hope this helps.
It’s a big thing finishing with Tenkara rods where I’m from mostly used for sea mullet coming into fresh river water any advice on a 6m pole that is light weight to be held with one hand and strong enough to pull of 1kg fish
Why are we calling this tenkara? Mericans been fly fishing like this with cane poles for centuries. Maybe rich fly fishermen dont feel safe in the DEEP South.
Unfortunately, everything I learned about landing a big fish with a fly rod is totally the opposite of natural physics. In other words, it was wrong and exhausted the fish, breaking the rod...
This video is outstanding.
thank you
Outstanding demonstration. I was not aware of the power curve but now i will use this to my advantage. Thanks so much.
Wow, I feel very lucky to have come across this video before I started Tenkara fishing lol
This is some of the best tenkara coaching I've ever seen.
The best explanation of how the rod works during the fight. Is there a continuation? video abruptly ended

This is straight-up brilliance. Much appreciated!

Insane video. Excellent content.
Wow! I learned a ton from this. Very helpful for someone new to tenkara, and not really experienced with fishing in general.
Great advice can't wait to try your tips thanks for sharing your advice!!

Never thought about steering the fish like that👍
Great information for sure! There is so much to learn.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Rob and Luong - this integration is really helpful.
Hello. Tell me what kind of fishing rod (name and length). Thank you for the video! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Any rod above 5 m recommended two hands because the inertia is too large.
Show me
You’re not even gunna show catching any fish?
Too many chiefs

Just use a fly rod lmao
