The picture above is of a Tenkara rod. If you don't know anything about Tenkara or if you didn't notice in the picture, there is no reel. That's right...no reel. Tenkara is an ancient method of fishing that has its origins in Japan. It is the most simplistic and minimalist way of fishing that can resemble fishing with a can pole as much as fly fishing. Below is a picture of how a basic Tenkara rod is set up.
If you want to learn more about Tenkara fishing, a simple internet search will yield lots of information and guidance. However, this post is not necessarily about what Tenkara is or Tenkara fishing techniques. Instead, I ran across a pretty funny Tenkara video the other day that I wanted to pass along. I'm a little unsure about whether these guys are promoting or making fun of Tenkara, but I think overall, they are trying to grow the sport though humor.
