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.
