I just ordered a black widow myself. I shopped around, and considering shipping and all, it was cheaper to buy it directly from BnM. Can't wait to take it out.

I have one from each ... the Tenkara usa one was $135 and the Allfishingbuy was $60... I like both, but if you put them side by side you can see the difference in quality. They both catch fish. I prefer to let my grand daughter use the cheeper one. LOL

Yeah, I ran across tencarabum while searching Tenkara. I am surprised at how expensive they all are. Allfishingbuy has cheaper models, but tenkarabum had some criticism of at least one of their poles. There are other types of Japanese carbon fiber poles. I think maybe the Tenkara is the way to go to get a stiffer rod, though. Are you familiar with allfishingbuy.com?

<p>Before you buy anything, go visit Tenkara Bum... he doesn't sell anything on his web site, but he has tested and writen reviews on all the rods and and lines, and stuff. It helped me decide on what rods I should get. You need to take into consideration the size fish your after. This isn't a heavy fish system... LOL, it was designed for small trout in small Japanese mountain streams. (but it sure is fun on large rivers for trout up to 14 inches, and bluefill and small bass under 2…</p>

<p>The 6:4 has lots of back bone, yet a tip still soft enough to make it fun. I haven't tried the 7:3. The 5:5 is way soft action... It bends into a "U" shape when trying to get a 1 pounder to the net.</p> I looked up Tenkara rods.

<p>I looked up Tenkara rods. That is definitely along the lines I am thinking of. I wonder if you could help me understand the actions. This is what the website says: "The rod action should be chosen based on the angler's favorite for a softer (Ultra Light - 5:5) or slightly stiffer (6:4 or 7:3) or the stiffest (Medium - 8:2) rod."</p>
<p>So, if I want a stiffer rod I should probably go with a 7:3 (bottom seven sections are stiffer than the top three) which would be considered "fast." Does…</p>
