Tenkara Moves
With this new series called Tenkara Moves, I’m hoping that I can capture the style and personality of individual anglers and also provide practical tips, techniques and strategies that you can take to the water.
I suspect perhaps that newer anglers will have the most to gain. But at the same time I hope that experienced anglers will enjoy a glimpse into the tenkara lives of their fellow anglers.
Episode 3: Mike Lutes
Mike Lutes was involved in the tenkara business for several years as a co-founder of Badger Tenkara along with Matt Sment. Mike has also been a frequent contributor to Tenkara Angler. In this episode of Tenkara Moves, Mike talks about pursuing smallmouth bass with tenkara gear.
