AFFR 173 - TENKARA SPECIAL

On this week’s special episode of the Alabama Freshwater Fishing Report, host Nick Williams sits down with John Geer and TJ Ferreira from Tenkara USA. Tenkara USA is the oldest American tenkara rod company, founded by Daniel Galhardo after a trip to Japan in 2008. TJ is TenkaraUSA’s Customer Service and Operations Manager, and John is the Repairs and Dealer Services manager. They’ve been with the company since it first introduced tenkara rods to the US back in 2009, and between them they have several decades of experience fishing with tenkara rods. They also have arguably more experience with helping people pick the right tenkara rod than anybody else in the industry.

Join us as we discuss the best tenkara fishing rods for the various waterways southern fly fishermen are likely to encounter. We talk about the best tenkara rod for small creeks and ponds, bigger rivers and lakes, and the best rods for younger anglers or backcountry fishermen. We also discuss how to land fish on a tenkara rod, the best flies to use with tenkara rods, and the benefits of a tenkara rod for young or beginner anglers.
