The simple, fixed line of a Tenkara rod makes it lightweight and accurate. But the fixed line also greatly limits its usefulness. Without extra line to take in and let out Tenkara anglers are at a huge disadvantage with reduced casting radius, and line stripping ability. With Tenkara, there is no line to let out to lengthen a dead drift and playing a big or aggressive fish is extremely difficult without extra line to give and take. The Stinger Hybrid System is versatile for Euro Nymphing and designed to give the feather light feel of Tenkara—it’s the best of both worlds!
