I have not gotten in to Tenkara, for the same reason I have not gotten into Spey... I do alot of fishing ( trout, bass ,steelhead, saltwater), all requiring different tackle and rods. And over the years traveling has caused my to acquire multi-piece rods. So I am not getting into something else new requiring new rods. I do plenty enough to keep me busy,,
