Thank you Dr. Tom. I’ll be looking forward to more content on rod characteristics (e.g., RM) and perspectives on items such as pre-knotted lillians, swivels, etc. Thanks again!

Very helpful Tom! I was going to ask where can I get a chart of the RFI ratings, but you already put your link up in the description! Thanks again for all of the great info and it's great to see you on the TA team! Congrats!

A curiosity question, please: how does one end up with penny ratings that come out to half-a penny? And, asking out of curiosity again: why does the U.S. Tenkara community use metric system for describing rods? Oh, and a compliment. I finally understand what RFI means in terms of my evaluating rod action. Thank you.

[@tenkaraangler]

Good questions! I don't want to speak for Tom, but I'd guess there's a certain point the rod is supposed to flex to to be exactly 1/3 the length. Remove one penny and it doesn't flex enough, add one penny and it flexes past the point. 0.5 pennies rating is born... Adoption of metric is probably a carry over from the way Japanese rods are rated. Plus, 300cm sounds nicer than 9.8 feet. Personally, I think smart US companies should use both to maximize the marketability into Canada or beyond. personally, I appreciate it when companies print both measurements on their rods like Tenkara USA does.

Миша, прекрасный фильм. По умолчанию ставь субтитры на русском языке, пожалуйста. Англоязычные подписчики и по звуку понимают о чём разговор. Тому передай привет.

[@tenkaraangler]

На KZbin есть настройка, в которой можно установить субтитры на любом языке, который вы хотите видеть. Просто нажмите на значок CC, а затем на значок шестеренки в элементах управления видео. Вы можете это сделать?

@@tenkaraangler Я знаю как их включить. Много людей у нас не умеют это сделать.
