Tenkara videos are always fun to watch, great job! There's no streams available nearby, so i frequent the local parks fishing for Bluegill and Bass with my Tenkara rods..
Awesome and thank you for watching! You are going to have a lot of fun with those. They take up such little room that I take them just about everywhere with me, just in case. Best wishes! -Mike
Hi Mike, I'm really glad I did. Loved the video and just bought the 301G with ghost netting of your link. Love the minimalist approach. Love to hear more about your gear suggestions. What about the glasses!
These glasses are nothing too special, I always go pretty cheap on glasses because I tend to beat them up pretty easily. These are polarized attcl glasses from amazon. In all honesty, I usually buy these from the amazon warehouse page and usually score a pair or two for $10 a piece. The polarization on these are actually really awesome, and I’m usually the first one to spot fish when I’m out with friends on a river. As far as other gear, maybe I’ll do a video going through some of it. Keep an eye out for a video sometime in the near future. Cheers!
Great video. Went out this weekend to the Truckee river. Water way too high and fast but still had a great time. Looking forward to spring and lower CFMs
Thank you! This year we will be seeing high water for a few months in the west. Luckily I have a few lakes to fish and a few spring creeks that aren't affected too much by the runoff to get by. Thanks, for watching!
I like the net idea but, leather pouch? Constantly dipping the net in water, water spray from walking (or falling). Seems it would last too long. The net does seem solid though. Great for short walks and impromptu fishing when you happen upon a creek.
Haha it wasn't too bad. I wasn't planning on wet wading until I slipped in the creek within the first five minutes. Luckily it was a lot warmer out than it looks in the video. Thanks, for watching!
I guess you're in the states. How are the regulations on fishing in creeks and streams in USA? Do you need a license or permit to do it? I'm on my way creating my own UL tenkara kit so bring with me when I backpack and this was inspiring.
I know I'm late, but you have to have a state license. So when you travel to a state you can buy a license for a few days to fish. As for keeping the fish, you can keep them unless it's marked otherwise.
I have another collaboration that I'm working on with a small company out of Colorado called Tiny Tenkara. They have a tenkara rod that is just under five feet. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet but it seems to be really good quality. I'll be posting up a similar video once the fish are hitting dries. I also have the new Tenkara Rod Co. White Cloud coming in the mail soon, it's 8 feet long. I plan to do a video with that as well. I know there are a lot of options out there, good warranty and cost is always a selling point for me. Thanks, for checking out my video!
Lightest one I see on their website is their plastic model with nylon net and vinyl pouch. It comes in at 8.4 oz. The plastic version with the leather pouch comes in at 9.2 oz, and the plastic version with the leather pouch and ghost net (rubber) comes in at 14oz. So going by these weights from their website there 0.8oz difference between the vinyl pouch and leather pouch, and a 4.8oz penalty for going for the rubber net vs their nylon net. But you can buy nearly everything except for the metal band separately.
Thomas has some great information for you, I hope that answered your question. My two cents would be that unless you are super ultralight I would go with the rubber net and teak wood. The quality is fantastic and the few extra ounces are worth it for the durability and quality. I don’t have the plastic version but I tend to be someone that beats up my gear pretty good and the teak wood has really held up nice. It looks as good as new and I’ve used it weekly since I put out this video. Cheers!
I also live in northern Utah and just barely started to get into tenkara fishing but I don't know which Creeks have fish. Do you have any suggestions on Creeks that have fish?
There are a lot of great spots. The Ogden is a great river for Tenkara, I've also done well on the Weber. The Logan river is also the perfect size for Tenkara if you don't mind making the trip up there. Thanks, for watching!
Or use a Ketchum release tool and keep it not only ultra lite, but simple. Nets (especially fabric) can potentially remove slime off of the fish resulting in being more susceptible to disease. The slime is a coating there to protect them.
@@pj-3325 Yeah, I've read many different scientific studies in the area of the slime coating and nets. Although there is no peer-reviewed study with significant results, the conclusion is that rubber nets seem to have less impact than fabric. I choose to use a net so that I can land the fish quickly, reduce any extra strain from the line when removing the hook, keep them wet and send them on their way. Cheers!

I love me a Handy Pack Net. I got one a while back, it's a really neat thing to have.
Like your style, I'm from Mt, and always have my waders on.
That net looks as good as advertised, I’ll have to pick one up!
Yeah, I've been really impressed with this net. We'll definitely put these nets to use when we're out backpacking this summer!
Tenkara videos are always fun to watch, great job! There's no streams available nearby, so i frequent the local parks fishing for Bluegill and Bass with my Tenkara rods..
Awesome! I'll have to give that a try, bass on Tenkara sounds like a wild ride.
Good idea! I’ve overlooked the local creeks here in central Florida.
Thats a cool net! Im gonna have to get one! Great channel keep it up!
Thanks for watching Jacob! I appreciate it. You can't go wrong with one of these nets, they are so nice to have! Cheers
Just want you to know I really like your videos. Inspired me to pick up a handypak net and tiny tenkara rod.
Awesome and thank you for watching! You are going to have a lot of fun with those. They take up such little room that I take them just about everywhere with me, just in case. Best wishes!
-Mike
High quality vid. Thanks
Looks like a great net--just ordered one! Keep up the great job on your videos.
Awesome! You won’t regret it. I’m such a huge fan of these handy pak nets. Thanks, for watching! Cheers!

We are on the same page. I'm looking at both of them. Also a Zen zoom rod. It goes from 7.5 to 10. Thanks again
Awesome, I'll have to take a look at that one. I think a zoom rod would be very useful. If you end up with one, let me know what you think.

Good video and very cool net! sub'ed!
Thank you for checking out Fishiki!
Really like the artistic shots in your videos. Nice job!
Weren’t you freezing in jeans?
Haha it wasn't too bad. I wasn't planning on wet wading until I slipped in the creek within the first five minutes. Luckily it was a lot warmer out than it looks in the video. Thanks, for watching!
That net is no joke! What is the weight on that bad boy?
Yeah, it’s been really nice to have. It’s only 14 ounces. I take this net with me everywhere now because it’s so easy to bring along.

Saludos a migo
Thinking of buying a small short tenkara rod for small streams. Do you have any suggestions? By the way good video.
