>>2538885>A tenkara pole is the superior tool for delicate presentations.Maybe it is, though my personal belief is thst the leader is the main factor for delicate presentation, followed by line speed.
>>2538885>A fly rod has significantly less range than a tenkara pole when tightliningI mean longer stick more reach, yeah, but those euronymph guys seem to get plenty of reach imo
>>2538885>You may subconsciously avoid even considering such casts, knowing you can't make themMaybe, though I think myself to be an opportunistic caster.
>>2538885>virtually no pause on the backcast by comparison to reel rodsI mean short lines do tend to need less pause but I can't imagine there's a huge difference I line length is the same between a normal fly rod and a tenkara pole
>>2538885>bsolutely, and keep in mind I'm not shilling for tenkara poles to replace fly rodsThat's fair, I just can't really think of a situation off the top of my head where I personally would grab a tenkara pole over a cane pole or a normal fly rod.
>>2538889I would have considered range to be the biggest drawback, but I also really like bow and arrow casts
