Wow, this is perfect timing! I just watched your video from 2 years ago on this subject yesterday. I appreciate the update! I have a Kaida and a Mizuchi and I'm debating between the Hellbender, Icewing, and Ragnarok for my 3rd rod to handle bigger fish from the river or mountain lakes as you mentioned. I want a 13 footer! Which of the 3 would you recommend if you could only have one? I'm assuming the Hellbender from you final comments?
@tenkaraonthetrail 5 күн бұрын
Thanks, it just depends on how big the fish are and how often you are targeting them. The Ragnarok is an excellent Rod but if you are going after 20+ inch fish on a regular basis, the hellbender will give you a little more room for air. The ice wing is in a totally different category.
@tenkaraonthetrail 5 күн бұрын
The Ragnarok is a great all-around Rod for modest fish and big fish on occasion whereas the hellbender is great for the big fish but a little more work and perhaps overkill for smaller fish.
@tenkaraonthetrail 5 күн бұрын
Put it this way , the hellbender is a thirty two penny Rod if I recall correctly whereas the Ragnarok is seventeen
@BitterrootJimbo 5 күн бұрын
@@tenkaraonthetrail as the Mizuchi is a 16 penny rod, would that be too similar to the Ragnarok? I am still pretty new to Tenkara so I truly appreciate your replies with the insight on the differences. The hellbender sounds like it could be great for bass and maybe even pike?
@tenkaraonthetrail 5 күн бұрын
That’s a good question, just because the penny rating is similar, those are very different rods due to the length and flex profile. The mizuchi is much shorter and lighter and will feel much stiffer than the Ragnarok. Yes, the hellbender is ideal for warm water species like bass
@michaelcapurso 5 күн бұрын
Nice video thank you. I'd like to see a new Dragontail non-zoom premium 330 or 360 length similar to a Fujiryu 6:4 in action. I find soft to very soft rods nice to cast, however not great "fishing" tools. The Kokoro in different lengths and actions would be nice to see.
@tenkaraonthetrail 5 күн бұрын
The kokoro kind of fits the 360 range doesn’t it? It’s in between the Fujiryu 5:5 & 6:4 penny rating and casts beautifully and effortlessly. Are you saying you want it to be stiffer like the 6:4 or softer like the 5:5? They are going to make a new length each year, so maybe it will be a shorter one in ‘25.
@michaelcapurso 5 күн бұрын
@@tenkaraonthetrail Stiffer like the 6:4 or on the lighter side of 7:3. I find even with smaller fish a stiffer rod lets me feel the fish more, and it allows me to manage fish better. I've found soft rods don't let me feel the small fish as much as most people say they do. The rods bend takes the feel out of the fight, until it bends far enough to where it has some backbone.

Understandable. Despite being very light, 5.3m is long for one handed use, but I’m used to it. I fished one-handed for nearly 6 hours that day and never fatigued.

The Terrific Baby Tenryu event: Hallmark standout scenes : 6:29&6:48 the now infamous tire/wheel pool (having 1st appeared on episode TENRYU TF32TA -PART 2 @ 0:49) 11:15 casted, hooked, and flung release exposition 12:32 the stalking Heron posture and catching its prey 12:34 best recorded baby Tenryu rod flex during a tenkara fight to date. Permission to make an analogy : This 7 day back country Tenkara trip's last day trout action parallels a 4th of July fireworks show. As it delivered on a classic last Act: THE SHOWCASE GRAND FINALE EVENT. Final point, resisting the impulse to tally a final trout count, viewers take solace concluding "the Tenkara on The Trail tandem baby Tenryu Tag Team" (that's a Furaibo mouthful) absolutely vacuumed the creek with innumerous numbers of delightful Rainbow results, LOL.

I’ve found pretied markers state-side but am hesitant to pay that price for less than half of what comes on the Owner precut marker cards. Unfortunately I’ve lost entire lines before after fish shake the hook and the rod tip launches the rig into trees so it’s time for me to look into making my own lines.
