This is a talky video discussing the eight tenkara rods in the 395-450cm range that I have and enjoy. This is certainly not a definitive guide. What's your favorite "long" tenkara rod?

I learned of this trend through the independent filmmaking community, and I love the idea of supporting small artists directly--no big corporation holding purse stings. Videos like this one require expensive camera equipment and hours upon hours of time spent shooting and editing. Ad revenue for a tiny channel like this one is equally tiny--insignificant actually. Crafting niche fly fishing videos is a money-losing equation any way you slice it. So why do it?? I've been a filmmaker since I was 16 and I love it. I love the puzzle of putting the videos together. I love sharing knowledge and experience with people I've never met, who might be tuning in from the other side of the world. I love seeing my creations appreciated by others. It is a labor of love.
