Tenkara Tanuki Retractor
Here’s a video of how I set up the Tenkara Guide Sling Pack from Zimmerbuilt to be my ideal carry system for tenkara fishing around Colorado. This pack was designed by the Tenkara Guides in Utah to be a tenkara-specific pack but could also be used for conventional fly fishing.
How do you carry your tenkara gear?

great stuff as always, jason. yer video really shows how handy they are. i, myself, keep wanting to try a sling. one of the norcal crew, trevor, has one and i think he really likes it. the problem for me is i’ve got some neck pain issues from years of fun and abuse. so far, the slings i’ve tried and seen are designed to fit left or right shoulder only. if i can’t switch shoulders from time to time, i get a gnary crick. i reckon i need an ambidextrous model. for now i’ll keep using an old camelback mule until i can find a better solution.
Mike, Zimmerbuilt also does custom work. I bet Chris could make you an ambidextrous one.
Hey Jason, really nice job on the video! You really show the functionality of the sling and the way it is meant to work. I like your addition of the fly patch and tippet holder, that is a nice addition to the pack!
Thank you Jason for the review , very helpful.
Hey Jason, great review. I was trying to watch the video and somehow it seems that the link is broken or something. Looking forward to checking it out!
Hey Adam, it looks like it’s working to me. Can you try again?
