Adventure Bio: The Wasatch Tenkara SIYCO is perhaps one of the more unique tenkara/keiryu rods I own as it's completely glow in the dark. Sadly this video does not show case the glow but the Siyco takes on some fun juvenile pike that were ready to play with Skiddy.

Siyco is my favorite big game tenkara rod! Be sure to checkout the link to the product in the bio!

Big pike are fun on Tenkara too, but you gotta be careful. Once just exploded my Hellbender rod because he hit the perfect angle after eating my streamer and I set the hook too hard. Broke 5 sections of the rod!

[@skiddyfishing]

I bet that startled the crap out of ya lol! Yea that first one was at least 20” and I think straight braid would have landed it but I would have had to two hand the rod too based on how that felt.

[@dtffishingmi]

@@skiddyfishing It was definitely surprising - is the most recent upload on my channel. Sounded like a dang gun shot. I'm trying to catch pike in the 30-40 inch range, but I don't think I will attempt with the Hellbender again lol - gotta use my Rodzilla

Never would have thought you can bank fish for pike on Tenkara. Looks like the lake goes from shallow to deep quickly. What depth do you think you were casting toward? Were you using your usual rod length of line?

[@skiddyfishing]

Yea I was fishing the rod length. I think it’s 12’ deep but I can’t be certain. I actually learned to wade there from a previous attempt when I was on the actual bank dry, I would spook them and most were hanging in inches of water so I made a game plan to wade deeper than them and cast up towards them. It may be a different situation anywhere else.
