Remember if you can see them they can see you. Stand back away from the edge as you cast. Same with a boat. Shadows will spook em too. Depending on water temp, they may be setting up beds for the spawn. Bluegill colors work well as they are known bed robbers. Spawning bass hate bluegill!

I looked up tenkara rods and it's not that exactly. The one eye is on the tip "inline" with the rod. Not perpendicular. It's very stout too. I'll try to get a pic of it soon. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

My dad got a bamboo rod at a garage sale that's about 7 to 7.5 ft long. It's hexagonal shaped and has just one eyelet at the tip of the rod. He wants to know what it was made to be used for...anybody know? Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

My son wants to do this... He hikes but not a remote fishing trip yet. How do I get to this (or any other) location in this section of the river?

I like this rod too. Great price! :clap:
