Hey people!? Has anyone ever heard anything about rods that telescope out to twenty feet, are made in Korea, are quite heavy and almost an army green color? Ran into one at a garage sale today and am kicking myself for not grabbing it just to have! Might go back tomorrow and grab it if it's still there!? Should have taken a pic or remembered the info on the rod!! Thanks for any info at all!! Mike W. Tacoma wa. Tight lines and no reels! Ok I have a few reels!

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.

We've all had situations where seriously chewed up flies kept catching fish after fish after fish. It is no sin to tie flies that come off the vise looking seriously chewed up.

Seriously, all the hooks sold on TenkaraBum.com, whether packaged as loose hooks or incorporated into flies, are sharp - or as Daiichi says on their hook packages, Dangerously Sharp. Some have barbs, which make removal from skin, eyes or clothing difficult. Wear eye protection. Wear a broad-brimmed hat. If you fish with or around children, bend down all hook barbs and make sure the children wear eye protection and broad-brimmed hats. Be aware of your back cast so no one gets hooked.

Also, all the rods sold on TenkaraBum.com will conduct electricity. Do not, under any circumstances, fish during a thunder storm. Consider any fishing rod to be a lightning rod! Fishing rods can and do get hit by lightning!
