TENKARA "chinese style rods"

[Fishnfun]

Hard to beat $32 for 3 rods. If ordering from a domestic retailer, what do you think about these rods from a company in Michigan? Comes in sizes 11' to 13' and priced from $40 to $80 plus $8.50 shipping per order. The rods have cork handles.

These definitely would have a balanced feel to them. I notice when I fish the non cork handle rods in small streams and lots of brush and trees overhead it really does not matter how balanced the rod feels. But if you are doing more trad Tenkara style casting then i think the balanced rod would be better. I have fished both styles now and Im getting more efficient with the non corked handle rods. Check out Tenkara USA vids on youtube on the casting method. So far most Tenkara vids i see are in open conditions.
