Would you buy/use this flyrod on Kickstarter?

It's amazing that established companies use kickstarter to introduce new products. Its almost guaranteeing a products success before launching production.

I personally think Tenkara is incredibly stupid. I would just tie line to a stick and feel way more "natural."

Basically this. Would not sacrifice strength for size.

Tenkara is a gimmick. Stay away.

Never for that price. $140 is a bit ridiculous for what basically is an extendable stick.

Thinking that it wouldnt be very hard to make a rod like that. Just bamboo that gets smaller and you can fold it up. Not sure though. I may try it and post my results.
