I love trout fishing and spent many summers at Kokee catching. I've been looking on line, but cant find when the Kauai season starts.

Anyone have any info on this?

never actually bought a tenkara rid yet, but seeing all your posts of them makes me want to buy one, where do you get one and how much?

Check this out... www.TenkaraUSA.com

A good place to get information is on the
www.tenkarabum.com site

There is another site where you can buy Tenkara stuff much cheaper than at the Tenkara USA site... $60 compared to $150. You can tell the quality when you put them side by side... but they both fish just fine.

4lb test is like fishing with braided stainless cable :lol: :lol: :lol:

More sporting on 2lb :lol:

Kaleo is thinking of trying a Tenkara in the surf for surf perch and croaker. Should be fun as the fish are up close like the Tucs at Lake Wilson. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Even with all of the new fangled high tech, high $$$ lines made today, Maxima is still a great line.

Casts well and abrasion resistant.

We used 80lb test on all of our ulua reels in Hilo. :lol: :lol: :lol:
