Still Not Able to Breakaway....

Still not able to breakaway from work and do some fishing.  On top of that, the time change means dark gets here much sooner.  

Was able to make a run over to Cabela's to pick up some flyfishing things.  Also, made a few furled lines and leaders for the Tenkara and Flyfishing.

Now, just need some time to fish!

Did Some Tinkering... and Made a Furled Line.

Another cold day and no fishing... Did some surfing online to learn more about Tenkara Fishing.  Really liking this method. Ended up putting an order in for a Caddis 12' Tenkara Rod from Fountainhead.   Hope to try it out in the upcoming weeks!

Did notice that furled line or a specially made level line are used when Tenkara Fishing.  So, while waiting for the new rod, decided to do some tinkering with materials on hand to make a furled line.

Had made furled leaders for Fly Fishing in the past using light mono and superglue and an electric screwdriver to twist the line. Figured the same concept would work to make a furled line for Tenkara Fishing.

Only one problem.... the electric screwdriver's battery would not take a charge.  After rummaging through the "parts bin", found an old electric motor, AA battery holder, and a metal bracket to hold the motor.  Throw in some solder and electric tape and a useable "motorized line twister" was had!

After solving the one problem, managed to make a 9' furled line that should work for the 9' "Concept Tenkara Rod".  Going to make another one later once the new Rod arrives.  Till then,....

Good Luck and Good Fishing!
