Although technically I use a Keiryu rod even more often than a Tenkara rod. <br /><br />The difference is that Tenkara rods have cork grip and more flex by definition, whereas the Keiryu rods, traditionally used for throwing bait weighted with split shot on the line, have thinner grip sections and no cork, and tend to be stiffer for control of the extra weight.<br /><br />I prefer the Keiryu rods in general simply because I fish heavy flies quite often... I prefer a more active style of manipulating flies and don't dead drift quite as much as I used to.<br /><br />Sorry for the long winded reply here but figured I may as well explain some of the basic details instead of answering with a more simple "yes." :)Klagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13404953454187858180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239384151854115309.post-22922299281792426452015-06-23T07:06:36.197-04:002015-06-23T07:06:36.197-04:00Adam, do you fish Tenkara exclusively?Adam, do you fish Tenkara exclusively?Brk Trthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677442640158367831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239384151854115309.post-62257160781056799852015-06-22T00:20:14.957-04:002015-06-22T00:20:14.957-04:00RM Lytle... it was pretty cool looking!
