I have three poles that I bought from CCS. Two of the shorter ones and one of the taller. That seems to work for me. They were not inexpensive but I liked the infinitely adjustable last section for fine tuning the height. Jim

I’m not a fisherman but the Tenkara rods are intriguing, compact and simple. I don’t have a good website to share but there is a lot of info on the web. Jim

Welcome to the campfire DBix. There are a few members here in Maine, if you head to Maine let us know. Jim

Thanks for the pics. Jim

Welcome to the campfire John, looking forward to another build. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. Jim
