My thoughts exactly guys, I know Tenkara a polarizing topic, and not a super versatile rod, but wanted to give it a go, I like the cheap simplicity of the way I'm doing it, opposed to buying something thats pretty expensive off the shelf.

I need to pick up some flies and some line/leader/etc. so I think when everything is said and done I'm in it for 40$? No complaints there.

I Have a decent spinning rod (didn't buy a "combo" so I made sure to get a decent rod/reel) from years back, bought a nice 8-10ft river pole from Bass Pro when I was driving past the one in PA once upon a time. I think I splurged for a middle of the road Penn reel or something along those lines. Probably have 6-8lb test on there, so I'm no stranger to rod/reel/lure fishing.

I have a pickup, 05 f150 "flareside" so its only a 6.5ft bed. The canoe is my sister's but she never uses it and its open for my use.

I'm no stranger to parking two cars for "lazy floats" down the delaware, as I'm really close, but never fished it. (Not sure if the stretch from Lambertville to Trenton is any good for fishing really, never done it)
