Jason over at Tenkara Talk has been an awesome resource for tenkara-related information pretty much since tenkara became a “thing” in the United States. If you’re into tenkara, I’m surely not telling you anything new.
He posted an excellent video yesterday on how he configures his Zimmerbuilt Tenkara Guide Sling for a day on the water. I also own a Tenkara Guide Sling for those longer outings when I need to bring a bit more than what my Vedavoo Tightlines Sling will carry…I’m definitely going to take his advice on the tippet placement!
I’d like to note, while it’s called a “Tenkara Guide Sling,” I also use this pack when fly fishing with a rod and reel. It’s a very well designed pack that’s exceptionally lightweight. It’s one I’d recommend to any fly fisherman.

As one of the guys who developed this pack, it is so cool to see it continue to be a useful design to other anglers. At least we got one thing right.
Thanks for the post Mike!
Very interesting and innovative. I appreciate the post and I will have to check into that pack. I like the look of it.
That was a great post, but listen – I have to tell you that I'm pretty upset that you have a photo of that butterfly net and you didn't even mention the three hours we spent trying to catch a Danaus plexippus for your collection. Shame, shame.
