TenkaraBum Rod Sock

The TenkaraBum Rod Sock has been discontinued.

The TenkaraBum Rod Sock is a result of customer requests. People have told me they really like the rod sock that comes with the Suntech Suikei TenkaraBum 36 and wanted to know if they could purchase additional socks for their other rods.

I posed the question to Suntech and once again they have exceeded expectations. Instead of Suntech rod socks, they offered TenkaraBum rod socks! That was an offer I couldn't refuse.

TenkaraBum Rod Sock (previous version, which was green)

It is a stretchy knit rod sock, but it is a much thinner material than most knit rod socks.

Opening in rod sock seam, which allows insertion of rod.

There is a slit in the back into which you insert the rod. I find it works better if the grip end is inserted first

"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!
