Missing Pieces – Finding Parts for Discontinued Tenkara Rods The first tenkara rod I ever purchased was a Tenkara USA Yamame. This was one of the earlier models offered when the company first introduced tenkara to the United States. I bought mine secondhand through a classified ad. I’m not usually sentimental about gear, but this rod  marked the beginning of a whole new journey for me. Now, the rod lives on a wall, stuck in a an old fishing creel, in a bedroom of our family cabin.

Wandering Thoughts on My Tenkara Rods Article by Bob Long, Jr. “Man, these tenkara rods – they’re really somethin’, ain’t they?” This was said by a fishing friend of mine who I introduced to tenkara rods about five or so years ago. “Yeah, ain’t they?” I replied. As of this writing, I am 75 (when the heck did that happen?). I started fishing when I was 5 and was using a fly rod by age 12.
