Many may remember when I was looking to buy a Tenkara rod for micro fishing. Well the word Tenkara and the type of fishing it represents seems to have been lost in translation. Long story short, the Japanese have a style of micro fishing called Tenkara. They fish for Tanago (tah-nah-go) which is a micro fish. They use ultra short rods as short as 2 feet. The smallest I could find so far was the Tiny Ten rod, but its $80 and no reel. So with much web surfing and many many hours on YouTube ( Kawan Mancing @johnsfolly ) I found someone whonwas building and using the rods I wanted to build. Here is my current progress. This is an eyeglass case from Walmart. Bonus feature is the bottom is lined with foam. Ill be putting some homeade flies in here as well. The white circles are to hold line pre rigged with hooks. Very cool that you are able to fit the whole rod in that eyeglass case. Daryk Campbell Sr 1

As per the goals of Tanago fishing, now you just need to catch smaller fish with that rod😁. You know the rules. I really wanted to catch a minnow species, but as you can see by the crutches behind me and my awesome posture, I am not up to going far. My wheel chair was just behind my wife who took the picture. Come spring, I have a few locations to re visit, and a few places I've kept for future use. Now its time.
