Origins Video Series Episode 2: Eric Shiflett and Jim Tignor

In the Tenkara Angler Origins Series we take a look at the stories behind anglers’ discovery of tenkara. Tenkara anglers tell us in their own words how they came to tenkara.

In this episode I asked friends, and fellow tenkara anglers, Eric Shiflett and Jim Tignor about their introduction to tenkara.

For more on these two anglers, check out Jim’s previous Tenkara Angler articles, and his art on Instagram: @jim_tignor_art, More from Eric Shiflett can be found on his YouTube Channel: @edrewshif
