    Default Played with the little ones


    I woke up to cloudy skies this morning and decided to visit the docks at Lake Kedron.
    But , instead of grabbing an UL spinning combo, I grabbed a couple of my Tenkara rods .
    When I first got to the lake it was drizzling. I checked the weather app and it said nothing about rain .
    Well , twice I had to head to cover from rain , once to my car, once to a large sweet gum tree .
    Then it quit after about fifteen minutes of off and on showers .
    The rods were my Dragontail FoxFire , that adjusts fro 6.3’ to 9.3’ .
    The other was a 7’ Goture rod .
    It’d been awhile since I fished my Tenkara and I’d forgotten how much they restrict your fishing area .
    Even with the Foxfire extended to 9.3’ , I felt I needed more distance and if I’d had a spinning rod or even a flyrod in the car , I would have swapped out.
    But I did catch some little guys , which this spot usually gives up .
    Fifteen total in a little over an hour . Most were on the inexpensive Goture rod , mostly because I swapped rods after catching my first five and stuck with the cheaper rod .

    For no further than you could reach, those are nice. Colors are sure nice enough.

    I’ve been wanting to try Tenkara. Looks like a blast, but man the nicer rods are expensive.

    I had just as much fun and caught more fish using the $20 Goture Tenkara rod .
    Nothing wrong with the Dragontail FoxFire , it’s a fine rod . And I did like the extra lengths it had .
    But the Goture was lighter and of I break it , it’s easily to replace the whole rod .
