Cane Pole vs Tenkara Rod - Tenkara Fly Fishing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- There's always a lot of talk about cane poles with people who don't know much about fly fishing or Tenkara so we decided to buy one and try it out to see how it compares to Tenkara fishing. Spoiler alert: The cane pole was heavy and clunky.

Put a bobber about 20-24" above the hook, impale a red wriggler and toss it out into the pond. Now you're cane pole fishing. 😉
Going to have to try that next time!
I started with cane poll as a kid moved up to a bream buster and then tenkara. If you pay over $70 for a tenkara you got ripped off by the hype. I find myself going back to the lew's bream buster quite often. a good one piece cane is nothing to make fun of especially the big ones on striper fishing.
I fish the cheapest tenkara rods I can find right now. The only downfall is I cant find a cork handle tenkara for less than 70 lol. The cheap ones are just so damn ugly, but I aint paying 100 bucks for a cork handle and looking cooler.
I have several antique cane poles and I love them.
Mine being over 60 years old are very well made and fitted well.
The best way to store them is standing straight up not leaning against the wall because being a natural material it will bend and remember the bend.
You can straighten the cane/bamboo with a hair dryer heating the bamboo and holding it straight until cool.
Using wax on the cane pole ferrels is a great way to avoid the metal parts from sticking together.
I enjoyed your video.
I like both ways of fishing but also enjoy spin casting, fly fishing and deep sea fishing.
Your video would be better not being so negative, your young you will learn. 🤠
Man that is old school. Bobber and hook and worm would work: you'd catch sunfish and little bass all day long. It certainly is missing any elegance or style though. Thanks for this silliness!
Ya i think it probably serves a purpose but its not great for casting flies.
Nice low-key unveiling of the new rod! And all unboxings, regardless of category should happen 10 miles down a dirt road.
This video is going to help me explain the same thing whenever anyone brings up a cane pole as an equivalent. Thanks!
Haha good call on the unboxing. I was just really hoping it was in there! Ya we tried not be too harsh on the cane pole but give a fair comparison
This is Gold!! One of my favorite videos thus far, keep it up fellas Idaho fishing vs Texas fishing 😂
Haha it was a little silly but glad you liked it!
The only time a cane pole would come in handy is if you are lost in the wilderness after losing all of your gear in the rapids or to a bear and were too many miles from civilization to return in a day. Survival skills learned in the AK wilderness, cane pole/willow branch work, but they usually break, splinter in your hand and you have taken the hem out of your parka for nothing. Good video, have fished both kind of rods and Tenkara makes me happy.
Great point! Maybe next time we will do a cane pole survival video
Watched a flyfishing guide's channel recently who had a video about Tenkara and he said it was just cane fishing. Very biased towards traditional flyfishing gear vs tenkara. I find the simplicity of tenkara enjoyable even though I've fly fished for 40 years now and still will do both. Plus tenkara flies are much easier to tie!! This was a good review of cane rod vs tenkara. Thanks guys!
Jon Clay I would be curious to see this video where could I find it?
Ya there was a video a couple months back by a channel called huge fly fisherman that was essentially saying that tenkara is not fly fishing but that it is cane poling. We just wanted to try it out and give an honest review!
@@tenkararodco he has some good content but he's definitely wrong about Tenkara, he needs to see this video! You guys had me cracking up!
Tenkara Rod Co just saw his video. Massive tool.
@@ryannelson8918 Nah he's alright and just trying to get those views. It's just a bummer that he thinks the way he fishes is "cooler" then how other people do it... but maybe more of a bummer that he's raising his kids to have the same elitist attitude.
Great video and comparison. Please tell me you are teaming up with Sakura. Looks like one of theirs.
Thanks! Unfortunately we are not allowed to say who makes it. But they are very very nice.
Those some Big ferrules
It looks like you're fishing with a tent pole😂
a cane pole is a great pole for hook and bobber, and a can of worms sitting on a dock catching blugills, and bullhead cat fish its not for fishing flies,, both poles have their uses
Local fishing rod Rock Fishing in Gunung Kidul JOGJA
Rub the metal rod ferrules on your hair before joining them, they come apart easier.
going to have to try that next time thanks!
lol canne pole vs tankiou du partage
Basically the cane pole is the original tenkara. So you went old tech vs new.
Which one came first?
@@tenkararodco wouldn't the cane pole have come first? Someone way back in history cut a bamboo down, stuck a line on it and found it better than whatever they did before that (probably hand line or something similar). From that bamboo cane pole the different practices of tenkara, keiryu, etc, came about. Just like here in the west we had the cane pole and it split into fly fishing, common rod and reel, deep sea, etc.
Grew upon a cane pole, your equipment is to expensive, not to mention the look down the nose attitude
The point of this video is to show the distinctions between the two. I'm sure cane poles are great in certain areas. Tenkara is a Japanese style of fly fishing that originated in steep headwater streams in the mountains. So when people call Tenkara a cane pole it helps to show the big differences. Thanks for watching!
You bought a Cane Pole?
Why not?! It would be fun to go and try to catch some big fish on this and see how it works.
@@tenkararodco They work on decent size bass. The real target species I always heard was Crappie. Rig up some 9wt fly line and toss 1/80 oz Marabou or 1/64 oz.
You really just put the best tenkara rod next to a $4 cane pole. You could have at least used a $10 rod from Walmart and not looked so obvious. Plus tenkara and cane pole fishing is apples and oranges 🤦♂️
Haha ya admittedly we know nothing about cane pole fishing. We just get comments frequently of people saying that tenkara is cane pole fishing where like you mentioned we feel that is apples and oranges. Hopefully the comedy in the video came off that way!
Handle first
A cane pole in the hands of someone that knows how to use it can be an elegant and simple tool. They are not intended to cast fly line or flies and and you can see they don't excel at that.
I remember using one piece cane poles with crickets and worms. Up to about 10 feet, they are great fish catchers. For me, they become a bit heavy and unwieldy when they get much past that length.
100% agree with you! We just mainly wanted to show people that the cane pole and tenkara rod are not at all the same thing. I'm sure in the right situation the cane pole works great!
@@tenkararodco agreed.
When I first got my Tenkara rod, I received similar questions about how was it different from a cane pole. I often replied it's made of graphite and goes for about $200.
Most of these folks don't understand the attraction of fly fishing in the first place.
The can cast a fly. Use #7 fly line with a big shooting head and it will cast
Growing up in the south.... if my Dad watched you behave like that with a cane pole he would have laughed the first time, told you to sit still and then finally sent you to the truck to think about it until he was done fishing. If you pulled out that telescopic pocket fisherman he would have quietly put his gear in a bucket and headed 150 yards down the bank. Lol! Funny video for sure and brought back a lot of memories for me! Thanks!
It was all in good fun, glad you found some entertainment in it!
You don't order a cane pole, you cut one on your way to the creek! :)
Fished a lot with cane poles as a kid because it was essentially free. And since you cut the pole, it was a single piece, so less clunky than the Uncle Bob setup.
But I would not trade my TRC Sawtooth for one!.
That makes more sense! First time using a cane pole. Just because we have heard some people say that Tenkara is just cane poling. It definitely is not haha!
When you couldn’t walk through the forest with a fishing pole I was done… straight up in the air… I am speechless
haha
I've caught trout with self-made tree branch and sapling poles before. I went trout fishing one day in a stock pond and found that my monofilament line on my spinning rod had become fragile and was snapping a lot more than usual. I happened to have some paracord in my backpack that day. I cut a branch off of a tree branch, wrapped the paracord around it and used one of the inner strands to tie the hook. I used zeke sierra gold bait on my hook and caught my bag limit that day with my 5 minute field expedient pole.
Old timer tricks for metal ferrules: rub the piece you’re inserting along the side of your nose to grease it up. If it still gets stuck, hold the rod behind your knees and use your legs to push your forearms apart. This is good to know if you ever use a split cane rod as well.
had to learn this on my Grand Pa's rods. they were always getting stuck at least for a little kid. Thanks for bringing back the memory I had totally forgotten leaning and doing this as a kid - and yes, I started on a cane pole and either crickets, worms or grasshoppers - sometimes minnows.... and a big red and white bobber. Used a gunny sack for a creel
works on older graphite ferrules as well, real lifesaver if you have a rod that loves to get stuck
Looks like he's deliberately fouling up with the cane pole. I can't imagine that it would be that cumbersome.
People relate tenkara to cane pole fishing and we are just trying to show that they are two different things haha
Rescue the cat as he came out to you. Maybe he needs a home.
Not a wild cat. A dumped cat.
Exactly, how sad...
this blows me away, had to research a cane pole? never thought I'd hear that one. definitely not from the South. Good video
haha just not something we grew up with I guess!
@@tenkararodco Right?
Yeah he just didnt grow up with it. Everybody cane pole fished if your old enough no matter where you live in the country.
Also super curious and excited about this new rod.
Black electrical tape will keep everything together.
If you ever fish with a cane pole again for fly fishing they work well for more of a dapping presentation. Personally I tie size 10 palmer style flies in both wet and dry patterns then simply lay them on the water or let the wind carry them and set them down. I also prefer the longest rod I can feasibly use for dapping but a 10 ft rod gets the job done if you just wanna catch a few fish.
The thing you dont realize is that the Tenkara rod has only existed for about 20yrs. Using a bamboo pole was the precurser to the advent of carbon fiber. I have cane flyfishing rods, fiberglass and carbon fiber. it is all evolutiong.
So they were catching fish on cane poles for 100s to 1000s of year before just 20 yrs ago.
Tenkara rods have been around for over 400 years. Ya the carbon fiber is new but the concept and methods used are the same. Pretty wild!
When you pretended to not have enough sense to lay the cane pole down flat while walking instead of intentionally getting it tangled in the trees you lost my interest. Good luck with your expensive cane poles!
Hope you realized that this was mostly a joke video! A lot of people including you call Tenkara rods cane poles so we just wanted to show the differences.
The cat distribution system chose you, and you blew it. Should have took it hame.
Haha whoops I think youre right!
4:15. I can tell you didn't grow up with metal ferrule rods. 😁
You are correct.
CAT!
$4 cane pole versus $100+ tenkara rod. Seems fair
Glad you liked it!
Go to Walmart buy a synthetic collapsible pole , the are cheap. You got taken with that one.
You said casting a fly. You're not casting a fly but lobbing them.
In my experience in curiously trying out just the fly because of the front facing hackle, I found out that at least where I trout fish in the Ozark's, trout hammer them. in the lower currents where they like to feed. Now, I have over 700 flys...(experience). So, after that experience I bout about 50 different type of Tenkara flies. The Black Shinpuru this week I caught 5-trout 13-16" , 2 hours on that one fly alone using Tight Line Euro Nymphing with my 22' built leader ,10'.5" Moonshine Epiphany with Redington Tilt. That is a very well balanced combination using all 3-one once weights. But, since I have 19 fly rods...(experience), 3wt-8wt...(experience) and use all of them regularly bass, bluegill and trout, (I'm retired and that's pretty much all I do) I find that traditional fly fishing is real fly casting fishing and there is way more skill involved with the equipment and technique. Than Tenkara and Euro lobbing a fly fishing. I do a lot of French Euro Nymphing and found it to be tediously boring but though slightly MORE PRODUCTIVE because the drag a fly line creates, yet, the main emphasis is catching trout since what else does those 2 types of lobbing a fly can do. Sort of like hunting deer with a bow rather than a rife which I've done much of both too. There isn't anything special thinking that Euro Nymphing and Tenkra is big deal. It's a lazy mans type of fishing that you think your in the category of traditional FF. So, stop griping about what we think and calling us snobs. Then you're going to get a reaction. Just do what you do and keep you mind on that rather than what we are all supposedly thinking when most are not.
Right!! Who is saying we can't get along???
You should try a B&M telescopic crappie rod. They're a step up from that rickety mess.
Little dramatic on the ole cane pole
First time poler sorry
😂Awesome! This was a much needed video. Thx for clarifying to the lost souls that need to try tenkara. I recently tried it 1 time and love the simplicity. I now carry a rod in my day pack everywhere I go. Take care guys and keep the videos coming🔥✌
Haha thanks for watching! Hopefully this clears things up a little bit for people who haven't tried Tenkara.
You guys are funny. Cane poles are for dapping around brush not casting. Lol
first time cane polers over here glad you got the humor!
Like so many other comments. Had someone tried to use a tenkara in a way it wasn't meant for, you're just not going to get the same results.
Folks get real defensive about their cane poles. I grew up cane fishing and just thought this was funny. Cane poles are fine, but obviously the portability and the response of these tenkara rods are better. It just depends on what you're going for.
Ten times heavier and ten times stronger. When bamboo breaks it still stays in one piece and is very difficult to break into two pieces.
I've seen better bamboo in garden stakes! I bet the quality was a lot better 50-100 years ago.
It ain’t fer casting young one. It’s fer bobber fishing.
I’m not an expert on Kane poles but I’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to cast with them you just dip it in the water. Basically you vertical fish.
You are correct! We just get a lot of people saying that tenkara is a cane pole so just wanted to clear up the differences. Tenkara is made for casting where cane poles are meant for dapping. Thanks for watching!
A cane pole in the hands of a true redneck will prob out-fish anything
Tenkara guy can't fish with anything under $100
I guess maybe find a cane pole that's in the same price range as the Tenkara rod you were using, if such a rod even exists? Either way awesome video!
Fr that’s a 5 dollar rod. They make some high in cane poles but they still are probably gonna be half the price.
A bit self serving I think. You are better than that man. I have both a tenkara and collapsible cane pole and as you acknowledge they are designed for different types of fishing. Having said that one could achieve good result with a collapsible cane pole and flies I think. Love my tenkara, but there are times when I don’t bother with it, and a cane pole or spinning rod set up are better tools for the job.
Yeah we made this more as a fun video and not to be taken too seriously... but judging by some of the comments. We didn't make that very obvious. Both had a place in the fishing world, glad you have found what works best for you!
Maybe a graphite cane pole would have been a bit more fair of a comparison. Check out the B&M little Jewel, It kinda looks similar and is a 10th the price.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm sure that thing works great for cane pole fishing. This video is mainly meant to show that they are tenkara rods and cane poles are not the same thing and work differently.
I was thinking the same thing
Enjoyed the vid. I'd like to have learned more about the new Tenkara rod you were fishing.
Crash Johnson it’s been in the works for a very long time, we’re really excited about this one
I refuse to believe you didn't know what a cane pole was. Tenkara looks like an overpriced bream buster.
I had heard of cane poles but just never fished one. There are similarities between the two as shown in the video but Tenkara is made for trout fishing small streams with artificial flies. So the rods have a lot more sensitivity and softer action for casting and fly presentation.
I like the cat!
Well one is like 20$ and the other is 150$+
More like 5 bucks!
Hilarious. I am going to save it for future use.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I guess Im lucky to have grown up in the South where a lot of folks grow fishing pole Bamboo in their back yard [ it will get to 25 + feet high] . The only people you will see with a 'sectional bamboo pole' are yankee tourists and small children who's grandmoma bought them a pole. It looked like you had serious failure of the light metal joints on your pole. A 10 to 12 foot one piece bamboo pole can take a lot of whipping back and forth all day for months. Second You can not tie line straght to the tip of Bamboo poles, I was suprised the even smallish fish you caught didn't break off the tip. Normally you start about 1/3 the way down the pole and tie your line then make a series of 'doubled half hitches' every 10 inches or so and finally run the line through an eye previously tied to the tip or a doubled wrap of black electrical tape at the tip. Your line should be roughly a foot shorter than the pole and wrap another circle of black electriacl tape there as a hook keeper
We have "tenkara style" fished with bamboo poles for all 65 years of my life with traditional dry flys and poppers sold beside all the other tackle in bait stores and gas stations , A "beetle Spin" works great too. Tapered leader meant for fly fishing and even floating fly line itself, also works well on a Bamboo pole. Lew's sticks and Bream Busters can collaspe for carry but are too whippy for a lot of folks down here . Once you learn to fish with a light weight one piece Bamboo pole you'll find the stiffer rigged pole transmits every twitch and wiggle . We regularly catch half pound to full pound panfish in the south and the occasional 4 to 5 pound bass on Bamboo poles. Fit yourself with a proper one piece cane pole rig next time, go for larger fish, and tell us about the time you have.
that was a bad set up for that cane pole and a unfair comparison. They sell the 10ft version 2 piece that is way more sturdy and a personally i wrap the line around pole down to the split for added strength incase I do get bigger game. I feel as if you were implying the cane pole was inferior, and all though there are also telescoping cane poles the tenkara rod is a neat rig, but me personally I enjoy the cane pole better but i also do fish with a Cuban yo-yo. (I do have regular rods for small and big water) but I enjoy fishing with my simple yet effective rigs. but hey thats just me. AND lastly i have a supper compact rig the K Bar BackPack Kaster which is just a bad ass version of a hobo hand reel.
We weren't trying to diminish the cane pole at all just doing an honest comparison and showing how different the two are. We have heard people say that Tenkara is just cane pole fishing and we had to find out for ourselves that that just isn't the case. Im sure cane poles have their place, but for fishing small streams it just isn't great.
What you need is a homemade cane rod that isn't one of those three piece ones. A good 10 foot straight piece of bamboo with a little love put into it will be the best damn fishing rod you ever held
That actually does sound really fun
Not all cane or synthetic poles are equal.
Cane pole will work, but why? ;-)
I like how diplomatic you were about the cane pole, but let's be honest. It's a piece of crap!
haha ya i was trying to give an honest review and look for the good aspects of the cane pole. we aren't here to bash anybody or anything but just have a good time! Will i use the cane pole again though? haha
@@tenkararodco haha fair enough, but I had to say what everyone is thinking 😂😂
@@driftstone i get why you would say what you did, but do keep in mind that cane poles are not fly fishing rods. they are meant to sit on a pier with a worm and snag the panfish that hide under said pier, or even from a boat or the shore. they performed poorly here because they were being used for a purpose they are not optimised for, is my point. so i think you meant "its a piece of crap at fly fishing", which is accurate XD
@@frogbear02 haha you're right. I was just trying to be funny. I can totally see how well that would work from a pier. I used to fish from piers in the ocean when I was a kid.
