Great for quickly winding your line when.
All rods fished well.
The good news there though is that replacement parts for the rods are pretty affordable a new butt cap for the teton costs 5 through the tenkara rod co.
I live near some very tiny creeks so i think the cascade would work well considering i don t have much space to maneuver.
The sawtooth as is their teton rod is very aesthetically handsome.
The sawtooth is our more more playful rod.
Most fish were rainbows in the 10 11 range.

I agree with your initial assesment of the sawtooth.
One thing i noticed about the folks at the tenkara rod co.
The sawtooth a supple 12 footer with a gorgeous burnt orange finish is a natural fit for the kinds of vigilant delicate casting required to land the area s finicky trout.
The 5 5 action means that it flexes a little more than a 6 4.
Lines are hand crafted with single strand construction and a 3mm nickel alloy tippet ring they are non tapered and perfectly weighted to cast with our rods.
Today i finally got the chance to field test their two initial rod offerings.
