Replacement Parts

Replacement parts for all Japanese rods are counted from the tip. The rod tip is #1.

I have some parts in stock, but most will have to be ordered from Japan. Please use the Contact Us form to ask if the part is in stock.

I no longer order parts for any rod other than Tenryu (it's a long story). For all other rods, if I don't have the part in stock please order from Tenkara-ya in Japan. I have no financial connection with Tenkara-ya, but I have met the owner and I know him to be reliable.

For your own sake, please double check which section number you need, and also please check the sections next to it to see if they need replacing also. You would not believe the number of people who either buy the wrong section or find out after receiving the section they bought that the next section is broken also.

TenkaraBum.com does not ship to any destination outside the US.

“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten” - Benjamin Franklin

"Be sure in casting, that your fly fall first into the water, for if the line fall first, it scares or frightens the fish..." -
Col. Robert Venables 1662

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.

Warning:

The hooks are sharp.
The coffee's hot.
The fish are slippery when wet.

Beware of the Dogma

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. Pay attention to 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!
