I am so cal guy and visit my family in Oklahoma where they have gorgeous ponds full of fish they are in natural springs and built(dammed) by the government in 50s everyone would walk up to the bank and cast as far as they could spooking all the fish that were near the shore I learned that stealhead. Do the same thing so I gather that most all species do this at times!

I love my Inyo. I've been fishing it with a 1.25 level line euro style and it works perfectly.

The T-100 is my go to lake rod. Works great for panfish and bass. Would be perfect for fishing trout in mountain lakes, but I don't have those around here, unfortunately.

I have your T 100 rod, but haven't used it in alpine lakes. The last couple of years I have very successfully fished 1/32 oz. and 1/16 oz. tube jigs in alpine lakes with spinning gear. Next year, I'll try the Keiryu rod with these jigs. It's like fishing a trout magnet with no bobber, except the Trout Magnets are 1/64 oz. and the jigs that I will use are slightly heavier. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks for the informative video.

I have fished that spot before and caught massive fish

Good video. But after watching Ayu fishing and Mainstream fishing in Japan it seems a better idea to get a rod/pole much similar to those instead of these short "tenkara" rods. The British Whip-Poles are much more similar to the Ayu rods. It's an interesting thing to think about. Keep up the good work.

being able to keep tight to the indicator with this rod is like a best kept secret imo. perfect, long, drag free drifts almost effortlessly.

Thanks for an exelent video. Most appreciated. Much easier to understand casting instructions in a video rather than reading about it. A video showing the orbitcast, lobcast etc would be wonderfull, as well as more practical fishing related stuff. 😊

What about natural bait ? I having a hard time coming up with information on casting and setting up live bait rigs.

How about showing casting the bobber and other rigs? Hard to find keiryu casting videos. I just bought the bobber rigs from your.

Maybe a little gimmicky for you but I came up with an easy to move stike indicator using a hopper as the indicator. Using a football shaped silicon bobber stopper, size small (sold on Amazon $9.00 for 1,200) I feed it onto the hook of the hopper with the wire loop pointing toward the hopper eye. Then, feed your tippet through the eye of the hopper and straight into the wire loop of the stopper, pulling a couple of feet or so through. Gently pull the line through the football stopper by pulling the wire tag. Tie on your nymph, set your depth, and get to fishing. The hopper will move up and down the line with just the right amount of friction to not curl your tippet, yet also has enough friction to get a hookset in the event a fish takes the hopper. Clear as mud? Anyway, it seems a bit fiddely at first but you soon it takes little effort. I subbed.

That would be awesome for catching, live baits. The length & strength of that is Fantastic. Been using a 8ft whip rod ( 2 peace) , that rod is a game Changer 🎣👍👍

Wonderful, hope to order one soon, thanks. The advice you gave about holding the rod outward instead of back too far (to prevent breakage), is usually caused by someone attaching a line that is too long, makes a tendency to lift rod backwards too much. My rule is that casting line plus tippet should not be any longer than 1 ft. longer than the rod, otherwise you have to hand-line the fish in to get it close to you for release. Also by the way, I have cases for all 9 of my Nissin rods, the Zerosum case is nice but others are just thin nylon - they are older, maybe they more recently stopped including them. I want one of these for micro fishing.

I can't wait to test my Inyo. My keiryu rods have nymphed great, but I found some more challenging small streams the 12.1' and lighter presentations will work better in. Can't express how excited I am to use. Thanks to KRC for my permagrin this spring!

David @KeiryuRodCo doesn't know this, but he's my Yoda. After utilizing mostly Owner trout rigs or fabricating my own copies I've recently incorporated more Euro nymphing, as it lengthens my season as well as mixing it up. There is one thing in this video I DO NOT recommend. Perhaps it's the perspective of the camera, but I try not to allow my line to be at a shallow angle compared to the tip section of my rod (during drifts and casting, of course.) My reasoning is that if I allow my tip to drop and the line to lay at a shallow angle I've experienced my girth hitch loop "issues". Issues where wind loops can form after lifting and casting which create loops and knots, or where the girth hitch loosens and slides down my rod a bit, or the dreaded "where the f did my line go!?!" Disclaimer: these issues seem to happen more on my rotating lillian rods, but the wind loopsz/knots/tangles may occur on the traditional non-rotating lillians.

Always interesting to see different setups. I use 18 and 24 ft rods with braided polypropylene line near rod, 4 ft Tenkara PVC floating line and 4 ft tippet (6 lb). A small shot is attached to tippet to put the hook in front of the fish. Flies and hooks are attached to tippet using a 6" braided line leader and not directly tied to tippet. I use a traditional Keiryu float rather than markers. Hooked on traditional Keiryu because it catches fish.

Great information! Thanks!

Hi DAVID.. I noticed this presentation was two years ago in here. I am passing you by… I am 89 and I have fished quite a bit in my lifetime… I have Retired my fly rod.. But I am still a professional photographer of over 50 years.. Your presentation was excellent.. You are very articulate.. But but but.. You photography presentation left much to be desired.. Remember, this is just me speaking.. My vision is 2020 God willing… But you have zero contrast between your tie ups braid, and that ominous background black.. Black would be ideal if you would’ve entertained using multiple colors like yellow, white, orange, fuchsia pink, and set the focal length at a specific distance when you’re tying your knots for those individuals who have lower visual acuity.. I apologize for being negative.. I’m just used to seeing perfection in a visual presentation.. Thank you

Well done

As a frequent tenkara nympher, I was thrilled to fish a rod designed with nymphing in mind. Most tenkara rods are soft action to twitch soft hackle flies. I use deep nymphing rigs with weights, indicators and dropper flies and the Inyo has the backbone to cast any nymphing rig (bounce rigs, Euro rigs, std. nymph rigs and dry/dropper rigs), set the hook (even bigger barbed hooks like stoneflies or hoppers) and play bigger fish and turn them in fast water. As a bonus, it also works great with small to medium streamers and poppers. No, it's not likely going to be your first tenkara rod but it is a great tool in your tenkara quiver of rods.

Can we get some better video footage. Mainly closer of the prettied rig spools? Awesome video thank you Joe

Nutul in indonesia 🙏

Great information for those of us that are just getting into Keiryu and Tenkara. I really like the phone case/grip. Could you do a video on it or let us know where you got it. I'd love to be able to take pictures while on the stream, but I know I'd drop my phone as soon as I was over the water.

What brand is that GPS unit?

Nice video

Good job 👍👉🔔

Good 👍 ❤❤

Good 👍

Parabéns pelo belo trabalho, e também pela aula . Conhecimento é a base de tudo na vida. Alan

Nice

Kereeen

A bit of indicator yarn tied with a clove hitch near the pole tip will help find or watch the tip. It will look sort of like a bow tie.

I absolutely tenkara but recently ive been wanting to target larger fish and I typically do this with rod and reel. Do you think keiryu is totally capable of landing a 10lb catfish? Or handle baits up to 3/4oz?

Thank you for information. Greeting from indonesia

thanks for all the info, really cleared things up for me and great instructions. Keep up the good stuff

Is this rod compatible with salt water fishing ??

The river I fish on has not only trout, but Steelhead, Coho and Chinook in the 10 plus range, what would be the best rod to have if I'm targeting trout and end up hooking a much larger fish?

I thought I read Keiryu can be used with real bait and floats.

Why The American flag?

that looks awesome-- in the fall here we vertical jig for walleyes (up to 24 inches) using large jigs or jig raps-- would you recommend this rod for something like this?

What size nymph did you fish?

Fishing artificials is Tenkara. These rods can be used for either…
