Every year we have this very discussion.
Unless we are Japanese, in Japan, bringing mountain stream trout to market, we are fishing some form of dilute tenkara.
There are many Japanese tenkara fishermen that use beads.
Falling out is what you might call it.
I still introduce people to tenkara through his equipment, book and media content. Daniel has a wonderful way of selling tenkara while telling the story. I am grateful for getting started with tenkara from him.
He did what he did, he is a part of the timeline of the growth of tenkara outside of Japan.
I wish he and his company all the best. However, I don’t owe him anything.
I have nothing against you, I wish you all the best yet I owe you nothing.
