Review: Tenkara Rod Co Sawtooth

[@kantill]

I have had my sawtooth for a couple years now and it still works great. My wife has ordered me the teton zoom and I hope to get that soon as it was a kickstarter program.

[@myotherlinefishing]

I just started Tenkara fishing. Great fun and makes for fun videos. Thanks for the review!

Caught your review of the Handy Pak Nets on their website. Subscribed. Cool stuff. We're preparing for a summer 2018 bike tour of Hokkaido - with fly fishing.

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

+Jack Donachy that sounds like an awesome tour!

[@wizconsin6104]

As someone who has been spin fishing my entire life is fly fishing/tenkara fishing easy to get into?

[@LeeL-bt7mx]

As simple as it gets.

[@johnnorthrop5218]

Awesome content...but the mini teton and mini sawtooth are my faves because they collapse so much smaller. I am still scouring for more of those! Lol. I also found a sweet little folding net! Very small when packed.

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

Is it the Handy Pak net? That thing is fun.

[@johnnorthrop5218]

@@PathLessPedaledTV no, it was called a Toasis net off Amazon. Very low price...but it's worked wonderfully so far for me. The one you mentioned is sweet though!

[@ianRichter21]

For someone who has never fished do you think Tenkara style fishing is a good place to start ?

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

Yes!

[@joshuavanscoyk9404]

Yes sir awsome way to get into fly fishing/trout fishing.

[@accidentallyfasting5768]

nice balanced review. I hear a lot of bad things about this company, but I got the Sierra rod. Haven't fished with it yet because of covid :-(

[@harleyberge3677]

How can you hear bad reviews and still buy the rod? And then not even fish it? Headscratcher right there. My coal is an amazing set up and I started fishing it immediately. Too easy not to. Anyway. Merry Christmas

[@accidentallyfasting5768]

@@harleyberge3677 I ordered it before finding them, duh. Also, the price and good reviews outweigh the bad. Glad you hear you like it.

[@teslah2997]

hope you have had better luck with your Sierra than I did. Fished with it for about 5 minutes, decided to change flies, so went back to truck to do so. Gently laid extended rod in bed of truck (which, btw, had a plastic bedliner), my son came up, looked at rod and it had a crack in it! I did nothing that I can think of to cause this…..it was a true bummer! Will contact them today…..curious to see if they will cover this. This was my first time even using it.

[@finessefishing3870]

What is the difference between tenkara and whip rod?

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

Smaller. Lighter line. Uses flies.

[@finessefishing3870]

Path Less Pedaled Thank you for the reply :)

[@AnonymousOtters]

How's the durability on your net now after more use? Mine has picked up a ton of chips in the paint, I feel like they need to rethink a better clear coat for them

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

The paint has definitely chipped off.

[@K3Flyguy]

Awefully lot of cash for essentially a cane pole. Americanized Japanese mountain stream canepole.

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

Yeah try casting those light lines with a cane pole.
