Opening and Closing a Tenkara Rod to Avoid Breaks

[@yoyojussrow]

I fish from my kayak in Tampa area and am exploring fly/ tenkara options for sight-fishing redfish. I’m considering Tenkara but the length of the kyojin has me second guessing whether it would be practical in comparison to a 7.5 ft or 9 ft traditional 8wt setup. Do you know of any customers that have had success in a similar setup to a kayak?

We have quite a few customers in the Texas, Panhandle area as well the Carolinas that use our rods for redfish - and even from a kayak - with great success. We usually recommend the Taka for this type of fishing, but the Kyojin and the Suimenka should also be considered. This might help you: www.zentenkara.com/faq/which-of-your-rods-are-best-for-carp-and-drum/ Happy to answer specific questions about these rod or about using them from a kayak, etc. Here's our contact form: www.zentenkara.com/contact/ Reds on tenkara are a ton of fun!
