This Changes Everything! Tenkara Rod Co. Sierra Rod Unboxing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 лют 2020
- I am always on the quest to learn new things in my outdoor pursuits. I have become quite obsessive with fly fishing the past year and this week I purchased a new rod for Tenkara style fly fishing.
I unbox the Tenkara Rod Co Sierra rod in this video and talk about how it makes sense for me for backpacking.

Stoked to see how it goes!
Thank you!
@@BackcountryExposure any update on the tenkara?
@@Dillwagon I'd also like to know!!😁✌️💚
X3
Tenkara is addictive.
Began praticing it ten years ago and since then, sold all my spinning and traditional fly fishing gear and never looked back
I'm just getting into fly fishing too, and my boyfriend has one of these Tenkara fishing rods that we take backpacking! It's so much fun!
That's awesome! I am finding a lot of people are Tenkara fishing.
Hello Devin, thank you for sharing this fine video. You're going to love that new fly rod. Take care, be safe and have fun. 🤗
Thank you for this. I took up fly fishing last year with the same thought that hiking, backpacking and fly fishing go well together. I am excited in finding out your thoughts on trying this minimalist rod.
you and me both man
I just ordered my first Tenkara rod after watching this video. Cant wait to combine fishing with backpacking! Thanks for all the great videos!
Been fishing Tenkara exclusively for a couple of years... you can fish the tightest most overgrown tiny little backcountry streams out there. Enjoy your Tenkara rod!
Happy to see the new content! I am getting back in to fly fishing as well. Looks like you have a very nice setup, MUCH lighter than mine!!!
Fishing and backpacking go great together
Haven’t been combining the two often enough. Time to change that.
Love how excited you were! Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Looking forward to future vids on your experience with Tenkara fishing. I just discovered it myself and want to combine it with backpacking. It seems like a perfect way to incorporate fishing into a backpacking adventure.
In a lightweight simple package too. Thanks!
They make a 4 pc rod that breaks down for back packing , but if your just into this as a zen experience and challenging yourself to see what you can catch with a minimalist rod set up , I totally understand, I live in west central Florida and am a saltwater fly fisherman that ties my own flies, and I have an expandable 12’ft carbon fiber rod that I could use and the thought of catching small tarpon or sea trout now crosses my mind , it’s the challenge thing I guess , all I can say is good luck and “ tight lines ! “ 👍🏼
This was fun to watch! I totally know what your talking about with pouring yourself into a hobby and trying to learn everything :) Very cool!
Just a Wagon thank you!
Enjoyed seeing you get acquainted with your new rod for the first time. For the past ten years I've been using two Orvis Frequent Flyers rods (4wt &5wt) for backpacking and even with the additional gear, they work well...short rod tubes that can fit inside a UL backpack. However, I'm about to purchase my first Tenkara rod (the Rhodo) and give it a try out on the small steams of the Smokies and the back country creeks/streams in Colorado. Your vid convinced me to give the Tenkara method a try.
Fishing and backpacking…this is the dream!
Love the early pics of you. The set up looks really cool! Thanks for sharing Dev. "It's my channel and I can do what I want to", LOVE IT!!👊
CampFires & Coffee thanks man! 👊🏻
Slick! Can we make that word a thing? Love the excitement! Can't wait to see it in action, in person or on video.
Would be rad to bring with on the Barracks!
I took up fly fishing last summer, but I just bought a Tenkara rod and have been experimenting with it this summer. Can't wait to take it backpacking - my entire kit PLUS POLE weighs like 7 ounces. Awesome! Fun video! I like that little case for it all - nice. This is like watching a kid at Christmas :)
So exited to see this video!! We take a father/daughter backpacking trip into the Sierra Desolation Wilderness every summer. I always take a spinning rod and we all take a turn fishing. I’ve been following Tenkara for ages and always wondered about this rod. They seem like a great company with a great product. I’m excited to see how this goes for you. Keep us updated!
timothyom2008 thanks! Will be sharing the process!
I absolutely get the new obsession stuff. I discovered fly fishing 2 years ago and I already have 5 fly rods and 1 tenkara.
When I was a kid and the mayflies came out, I'd head down to the edge of the lake with a cane pole rigged with nothing but a line and hook. Then, I would place a mayfly on the hook and cast it out. I caught more fish this way than any other method.
Your enthusiasm made me smile. That rod is SOOO awesome!
Linda Y. Ha ha thanks! I am definitely excited.
Looking forward to seeing how you like it. I've been debating getting into Tenkara.
Mark, A word of advice...Do it! I’ve been out about a dozen times this season and the only rod I’ve brought along is the Tenkara rod I picked up in March. It’s pretty awesome. Good luck!!!
That’s very cool. I’m gonna need you to a review on it! Happy fishing!
Michael Hurt I’ll share after some good time on the rivers and streams.
The joy on your face is epic. So happy for ya bro. 👊🏻
😁😁😁 so excited!
Excited to see you use it! Will be interesting to see how it fishes lakes!
Hunky MrB yeah me too. I’ll likely end up fishing the inlets and outlets of the lakes a lot.
You're going to love it!
Huck Outdoors 😁 I just wanna get in the river now!
I enjoy fishing while hiking. Very curious to see a video of the rod all set up.
I'm stoked!
David Jones wooooo! Me too!
I'm an avid hiker and fly fisher too. Bought a tenkara rod about 5 years ago....love it!!!
Tip #1 Don't leave the tube at home.
Thanks!
I have three of their rods and they are all great.
Devin, Hope you and the family is doing well. I haven't went trout fishing in a long time. Maybe this year
live4wild hey John! Get out there my friend!
Interesting product! How has been holding up so far? I got myself the telescopic backpacking rod from Lixada. I'm really impressed with it for the low price. It comes with most of the things that you need in a small carrier bag.
We recently moved to Norht Idaho and I've just started fishing last fall. Looking forward to hiking into some of the alpine lakes here this summer with the collapsable rod my husband bought me. Fly fishing is a bit intimidating to me though.
It was for me too. It's quite simple to figure out with a little patience and willingness to learn.
Hey did you ever make a video using this rod would love to see one
I've been looking at these for a while. Most my fishing is up in the high Uintas lakes and I wonder how the Tenkara would work there? It seems like you wouldn't have enough reach. Where are you planning on using it?
Mostly on the small streams and the inlets/outlets of the lakes where the Tenkara will reach just fine.
plzzzz never stop making content
Do you know what the combined weight is of the sock, rod and tube ? And is there no reel? just the spool of line? Puzzling but this might be next years big backpacking purchase .
Cool rod but how is this different from a telescopic crappie pole? $25 vs $250?
I loved fly fishing and this intrigues me but wondering the difference?
One option for a lightweight rod case is to build one out of fluorescent bulb protectors. You can pick them up at Home Depot. It’s a really lightweight plastic tub that goes around a fluorescent bulb to contain any shattered glass. It makes a great lightweight case. And really cheap. Anyways thought you might find that helpful. Good luck and tight lines!!! Nothing beats backcountry fly fishing!!!!!
Also, should qualify my last comment. It wasn’t my idea. Stole it from this website outdoorgearsteals.com/diy-ultralight-fly-rod-tube-backpacking/
Yeah I was going to look into that, and likely still will. But the Tenkara just adds to the quiver of options. Thanks!
I’m thinking about trying Tenkara, and curious if you have any update on backpacking with a Tenkara rod. I know this is an old video for you, but would love any update.
I love it for backpacking! I had mine out on a trip just a few weeks ago. They are great for small mountain streams and lakes. The weight just makes them so easy to bring.
Congratulations on the new tenkara rod. I think you would appreciate how a better fly rod would fish. Your reddington rod is most likely a fast action rod. If you upgrade to an Orvis or Sage slow action rod your line lay down is much softer and won’t spook the fish as easy. The tenkara rod co makes an even smaller rod that would fit in a backpack perfectly. I think it’s call the mini Teton. Looking forward to your rod review video. Tight lines. 🎣
Harry Fersner yeah gotta start somewhere within the budget, and I know enough about rods to understand what you’re talking about. An upgrade will happen in the future. Thanks!
Backcountry Exposure totally understand how it is trying to get better gear on a budget. I’ve been rebuying all my backpacking gear trying to lighten my load now over the corse of two years. lol
how do you like that reddington classic trout fly rod? Is it a good beginner rod? What would you suggest as my first ever fly fishing rod?
I am far from an authority when it comes to knowing the ins and outs of fly rods. Still learning myself, but I have really enjoyed the Classic Trout. Action on it feels nice and the value is there too.
What made you decide to go with that Tenkara rod over other rods made by the same company or even a different company? Any specific features you were looking for or other deciding factors such as price?
Have you used this much in the last year? How do you like it and would you recommend it for someone trying out tenkara?
Have used it a handful of times, but not as often as I would like. But yes definitely recommend.
I bought one of these awhile ago because im an impulsive jerk. Hope you enjoy it!
LOL Seriously have you used it yet?
@@BackcountryExposure no, but I plan to use it this year. Hopefully in the Uintas if I make it up to Utah this summer. Few areas here in Arizona I can use it but not nearly as much as Utah.
Right on! Uintas is primarily the area I got this for. 👊🏻
@@BackcountryExposure it should be good for that, hope to see some videos!
Looks like 5 fish gave you a 'thumbs down' 🤣 That is a very cool setup. I may have to check that out as well!👍🏼
meh, I knew this video would be different and people would not love it. But it's something I am passionate about and will keep sharing.
@@BackcountryExposure everybody has their 'thing' that they do in their downtime at camp. Backpacking is not just one thing, it has many pieces to it 👍🏼
Hey Devin, any updates to this video??
Welcome to another rabbit hole. Avid fly fisher here.
Great video. You will have a blast in Utah with that rod Devin! I've always packed my flyrod on my backcountry trips - until my Uinta Highline Trail hike last year which made me decide to switch to the Tenkara. I'll still take my regular flyrod for shorter, fishing focused trips. But if there's a destination goal and doing bigger miles is required, I think the Tenkara is a better choice.
My thinking exactly! Thank you!
How'd you decide between the Sierra vs. the Bear Tooth?
I got the Sierra before the bear tooth was available. They are basically the same rod, just one has the cork handle and the other not. Pack size is smaller on the bear tooth, but otherwise they are pretty much the same feel.
unboxing starts at 04:10
I think I know what’s for dinner. : )
Stitches 😁😁😁
That baby fish though lol
So tiny! Gotta catch em all!
Please tell me you’ve seen Zimmerbuilt Dyneema packs. He sells Tenkara packs and gear. Check him out if you havent already.
I haven’t but will definitely check him out.
Backcountry Exposure yeah go to zimmerbuilt.com he has custom stuff along with his stock packs. Good stuff, has a section of tenkara gear too.
The thing I don't like about Tenkara is that you have no line control over the fish. With a traditional fly rod you can strip line in and play the fish safely. All the Tenkara videos I see the anglers are bouncing the fish off rocks as they try to land them. Kind of goes against humane catch and release if your fish ends up with a headache haha! I'll stick to my traditional 2wt where I can high-stick (like Tenkara) or actually make a long cast if needed (Tenkara is limited on lakes).
Motorep146 all that makes sense and something I’ve noticed myself. Definitely will be mindful of that while out. Wetting hands before handling the fish and doing my best to not let them bounce around in the net is important too.
You can play the fish, I think too many people are more concerned about getting the fish in the net quickly instead of playing the fish.
@@kantill Yeah, there's some truth in that statement for sure. In most videos the guys are just yanking the fish to them as quickly as possible.
Again, I can see this as a viable option. The handling of the fish can be addressed by the angler but sometimes you need that extra casting distance to reach the fish and Tenkara is limited in that regard. I break it down like this on my trips: stream and rivers with small lakes I'll take my 2wt. Bigger lakes with streams and rivers my 5wt. If it's mainly deeper and larger lakes I'll take my UL spinning outfit.
@@BackcountryExposure I'm definitely looking forward to the new content that will come as you integrate this setup into your trips.
@@Motorep146 I use all types of fishing gear. I have tenkara, fly rods, spinning and a couple bait casters somewhere. Each has there place and use for sure.
Only defense I can give the UA-cam tenkara people is in Japan that is how they do it. It's set the hook and yank the fish right of the water.
But like I said you can play a fish and I have landed some pretty nice rainbows with mine. That being said I have been looking at a either a two wt or three wt just for the fun of it. That and a spey rod setup would be awesome to use on the kenai.
Talks about tenkara. Shows clip of traditional fly rod catching fish. 😂
Always have a pole with me
👍🏼
Jealous. Currently reading Daniel Galhardo’s book on Tenkara fishing.
Sweet!
