Tenkara Setup in 45 Seconds
Here’s a quick video I shot showing just how fast you can get your tenkara rod set up and ready to fish. Actually, I’m being a bit generous. If you count, it’s really only 43 seconds.

Nicely done Jason.
Really like the B/W of the video. Makes it look real cool.

LOL TJ. That was actually an accident. For done reason the raw footage came out with a weird blue tint I couldn’t get rid of. So I made it black & white to hide it. Glad you like it though!
Love B&W. Makes it look old fashioned.
Jason, reminds me of the the time I took out two guys – one from national Trout Unlimited and the other from Field and Stream – looking for greenbacks. We hiked in a couple of miles and while they were rigging up their western gear I took out my tenkara, rigged up, caught a greenback, rigged down and put all the tenkara back in the backback. They were still getting ready to fish. I had only had the Yamame for about a month and half at that point back in 2009. Simplicity is king.
Mark, Nice. That story reminds me of one of the many reasons I love tenkara.
So could a speed Tenkara fishing contests come into being? Give three guys a section of stream have them stand streamside, blow a horn and they’re off! First to rig their Tenkara rod, make a cast, net a fish of any size, live-release said fish, de-rig their Tenkara rod (without breaking it) & return to their streamside starting point – wins!
Hey, I’m down for that! Name the time and place!
