Hey xnyKid, I like your break down & I agree.I have been throwing 3wt & down for a lot of yrs. I finally settled on a 1wt that I use more than any of my other rod.I started the rod post to get some answers, I pissed off some members was told ( I cant say that on the site ).Well it seems a lot of other can & did talk about tenkara here with no problem. My question was answered by a well know master flycaster. A tenkara rod would equal out to about a 0000 flyrod. I will never give up my rod & the little round thing on the big end. All tenkara does is expand & help us use our western gear better & giver us another weapon in our effort to feel the jerk on the end of the line.
