Tenkara Line Winder Fly Box Combo

OLB Tenkara Line Winder & Fly Box Combo

Ever since I can remember, I’ve always been attracted to oddball gear–those esoteric things you discover off the beaten path that you’ll never find in the chain stores or mainstream fly fishing catalogs. It’s akin to treasure hunting and you need to be diligent–scouring thrift stores, searching eBay, and talking to unknown artisans. But once…

Ripple Box Fly Box

Ripple Fly Box Review

When I was first getting into fly fishing, there were basically three ways fly boxes stored flies: compartments, clips, or foam. There were some other clever designs companies like Perrine experimented with such as coil springs or magnets, but those never really took off and the trinity above dominated. Compartments were great for dry flies…

Zen Fly Fishing 3-in-1 Tenkara Spoolbox

Over the long holiday weekend, I was able to catch up with my friend Karin Miller of Zen Flyfishing and got my hands on their new tenkara spoolbox. This is a really innovative piece of gear that is as beautiful as it is function. It’s basically a round wooden box that can hold more flies…

Meiho Fly Box for Tenkara

Meiho FB-470 Fly Box

From Perrine to C & F to Wheatley, I either own or have used just about every brand, style or design of fly box out there. From the day I started fly fishing, I had an early fascination with fly boxes. My first one was some uninspired, mass-manufactured plastic compartment box that I think came…

Wooden Tenkara Fly Box

Hinoki Wooden Fly Box

I just received my Hinoki wooden fly box from Tenkara-Ya. “Hinoki” is Japanese cypress and is a very strong, high-quality wood that was traditionally used to build temples and shrines. The box comes in either a 4-compartment or 6-compartment version. Since I already have a very nice 4-compartment wooden box from Rick Setina, I decided…

Wooden Tenkara Fly Box

Unique Tenkara Fly Box

When I was 15, I got my first fly box. I can’t recall exactly what it was, but I remember it being just a cheap plastic box from K-mart (probably a Plano). Back then, I was too preoccupied with learning how to cast and the basics of fly fishing to be concerned with what kind…

My Tenkara Fly Box

My Tenkara Fly Box

Today, I received my long awaited custom tenkara fly box made by Rick Setina.  It’s even more beautiful in person than the pictures he sent me in advance lead on.  The lid is Maple and has my name in Japanese (katakana alphabet) burned into the lower right corner. The bottom is Cherry which contrasts nicely…
