If in fact you would rather fish without a reel then we suggest the simplistic method with only a rod, line and fly: Tenkara. TFO makes some of the best built Tenakara rods and the Black Jaw Pro Staff has been field testing their rods for years. In fact, we have caught and landed Salmon on them. Based on a traditional Japanese method of fishing using only a rod, line and fly, Tenkara fishing permits anglers to make precise casts and delicate presentations, and manipulate their fly with extreme ease. Telescoping down to 20 and 20.5 inches, the Temple Fork Soft Hackle rods are perfect for the backpacking angler. The rods come with a spare tip, second section and line holder built into the rod sock to help organize your line when not in use. Available in three lengths and actions to match any type of fishing. Please contact us about selecting the proper Tenkara rod for your next adventure.

The nets float and are constructed of wood or carbon. Brodin Landing Nets have made many innovations over the years and continue to define what a landing net should be.
