Best tenkara rods guide: https://castandspear.com/best-tenkara... Dragontail Tenkara rods: https://dragontailtenkara.com?ap_id=c... My cousin Bryan, who got me into tenkara fishing, joins me to walk through his favorite tenkara setup for bass. We use the Dragontail Hellbender and cover the full beginner setup: the lillian, main line, tippet, knots, level lines, spools, casting, and how to land a fish. Tenkara is simple, portable, and a fun way to catch bass and panfish without carrying a full fly fishing setup. The Hellbender is a bigger-fish tenkara rod, which is why I picked it for bass.
