I just bought one. I can't help but remember my long suffering dad taking 4 kids fishing with bamboo rods and a line tied to the end of it. I suppose this will be an improvement.
I bought it primarily for what I call "drive in fishing" - where I might fish one spot and then get back in the truck to go to another spot. Breaking down and setting up my usual fly rod is a deterrent to this kind of fishing and I wasn't sure I wanted one of the hood mounts I see on the trucks around here. The Tenkara is telescoping and lacks a reel so it should be much easier. I will also be more inclined to carry it along even when fishing is not my primary objective. I'll still carry the full set-up for some of those favorite places where I need a long cast.
Anyone else used one of these?
