I caught 7 (some very) small Bass in a pond near Ocala, Florida yesterday on a $12 "tenkara" yellow bamboo telescopic rod using "tenkara" flies. So much fun. If they're hungry, they'll bite.
@@adams13f It gets more important the farther you get from the rod tip. I used Tenkara USA #3.5 Level line (fluorocarbon) tied to #6 nylon tippet. It would be best to use fluoro tippet as it has almost EXACTLY the same refraction index as fluoro in the water. It is almost 100% invisible to fish.
I consider smallies in the creek/stream as completely different species from the one in lake or pond. They fight way more vigorous!!
I agree! I think the current of the creek/river makes them stronger and fight better. Love me some smallies!!
Oh for sure! Same for the largemouth and sunfish. That oxygen-rich water seems to give them more energy or something.
That was good fishin! Fun stuff!
Thanks! Love some hot Tenkara action
Cool man!!!! That 2nd one u got was a huge longear👊
Thanks. Those long ears were aggressive!
That’s awesome bro might have that rod to the arsenal
It is my first Tenkara rod but I do like it a lot. Thanks
Well, going to have to get me.one of these things now
So fun! Get out and get one

What line combo did you use?

nice catches 👍
Thanks bro!
How do you bring that sucker in I wanna try tenkara outside my Gracie jiu jitsu training
apart from the hoppers didja use another flies Sir?
Great clip ! Just subbed. Btw, does the fly sink below the surface ?
Thanks a bunch! I used only dry flies on this trip, none of them sink below the surface
Where do you find that fly?
What line combo do you use?
First time I’ve seen a tenkara vid where they actually showed what fly they were using. Usually they only name the rod. Never the lines or flies
Black bass ARE sunfish…every last one of them.
