Default Making a Tenkara net ?
Hi Guys

I kind of like the simplicity and rustic charm of Tenkara style nets.

Whilst out for a stroll in the woods today i spotted a small Holly tree that had been badly damaged by a fallan tree and decided to try and make a Tenkara style net.

Anyone else made one ??

Cheers

You should be able to find an old ASDA bag floating about to finish that off

How are you going to thread the net/Asda bag on now you've whipped the two arms together?

Hi Englander

Have you made it with a long shaft so you can use it as a wading net?.
I have made a couple with split bamboo wading sticks threaded to take a standard net head.
