Learn how to set up the Dragontail Shadowfire 365.
We're near Yosemite prepping for our backcountry trip by getting in a bit of Tenkara fishing.
Guide to this video:
0:00 - Intro
0:24 - Tenkara setup guide
9:24 - Fishing the streams with a Tenkara
Yosemite has always been a place that's near and dear to my heart. My dad would take me on week-long backcountry trips ever since I was a little kid. I never really documented it but felt inclined to do it now.
Come with me as I prep for a week in the backcountry climbing Cloud's Rest and fishing hard to reach lakes and streams using a Tenkara fishing rod.

Who knew growing up in Mississippi in the 70's I was tenkara fishing with my grandpa with cane poles in the creeks??? Been doing it for 50 years.

@guitardoug12 Год назад

Absolutely one of the best Tenkara setup videos I’ve seen. Super informative and simple. Thank you so much! I just purchased my own rod and accessories and I am anxious to get started. I’ve fly fished for years, but I love different methods of fishing. Amazing!

@castandspear Год назад

I'm stoked you're starting your tenkara journey! Tight lines, you're going to do great.

@caleshtcincredibles Год назад

Nice one !

@rodhagerty 2 года назад

It's OK to use 4-6 ft of tippit, it will help with hook ups do to the fish not getting spooked. 2lb test tippit is best for small trout. Great video and a great job on your first time. I love tenkara fishing and do it almost exclusively.

@karmahavok 2 года назад

Should you decrease the line length with longer tippet? I have a zoom rod that goes from 11 to 13 feet. If I use 4 feet of tippet how long should my line be? I'm short too if that matters. Thanks for helping a newbie.

@rodhagerty 2 года назад

@@karmahavok the standard is your line is the length of your rod and tippet half the length. Example 12ft rod 12ft line and tippet would be 6 ft. You may have to experiment with the shorter length. I would change the length of tippet from 4 to 6 ft if necessary depending length of rod your using but try using max length first. You maybe surprised how easy it works.

I use one strand out of inside of 7-strand 550 paracord for leader.... works great

@castandspear 3 года назад

ooo I like that idea. I'll have to give it a try! Thanks

@@castandspear yup

@Charsept 3 года назад

I never thought of that! That's for the heads up. That'll save me some money 👍

@DeeMoback 3 года назад

@@Charsept yeah...I bought furled leaders $10 each..... this is cheaper.... I melt paraffin and drop some strands then squeegee excess HOT paraffin off (while it's hot)..... I don't do them all that way but when it is windy I use one that has paraffin on it because it is slightly heavier..... of course I did that with some of my furled leaders too...... anyway experimenting is interesting..... some are soaked just halfway..... yup

Dude this is one of the best set up guides I’ve ever seen keep up the great work, great videos. Just a small suggestion when you’re video tapping and you say the fish right here try and use your finger to point or add an arrow to show where the fish is. PS I’m subscribing.

@spencerschubert5001 3 года назад

I’ve read some anglers use level line instead of furled leader like you have? Do you know why you’d pick one of the other? I’m just starting out

@castandspear 3 года назад

I started with furled line with a fluoro leader. I recently just switched to a level line with a fluoro leader. The level line helped me catch finicky fish that were skittish with the thick furled one. Casting with the level line took a bit of learning, but I think it'll be my default going forward. Good luck out there and keep me posted on what you catch!

@AustenSummers 2 года назад

Do you have to do this setup EVERY time? Or just the first time?

@karmahavok 2 года назад

Most of it the first time only. Lots of ways to save time at home by tying tippet at various lengths to various lengths of line and store these in line holders.

@mosheq 3 года назад

In rig have lead sinker?

@castandspear 3 года назад

Generally no. If it's really windy you could look to put a small split shot on the line

@@castandspear wow, thanks for replying. Since you did I have a question. Do you have familiarity with either Tenkara Rod co or Tenkara USA? Which do you own or use or prefer? Thanks

@castandspear 3 года назад

I haven't used them much so I can't speak to them like I can Dragontail. What I've heard it's that Tenkara USA hasn't been innovating as much as others, but it's usually btwn Dragontail and them for purchases. Dragontail also makes nirvana, their higher end rod that I just got and it's very nice. Sorry I couldn't be of more help
