I'm sure it has been clear to everyone that I have been winding down the TenkaraBum and Finesse-Fishing sites for a while now. There is very little left in stock - just three tenkara rods and some lines on the TenkaraBum site and just five spinning rods, some lines and some ultralight spinners and spoons on the Finesse-Fishing site.

I will be taking a step closer to retirement beginning November 11. I will be away from the shop for a month. Not a fishing trip, not a business trip, not a vacation. Instead, more of a temporary or "practice" retirement. While I am away, you can purchase anything that is in stock but it won't get shipped until December 11 or shortly thereafter. If you are quick, I can ship items on November 9 and 10.

While I am away from the shop I will not be able to sell any replacement parts that may be in stock but not on the website, and will not be able to order any parts that are not in stock. If you need a replacement part, I would suggest contacting Keiichi Okushi, who owns Tenkara-ya in Japan. Google can find the email address for you.

I do not plan on even reading emails, let alone answering them. There are a number of other fine tenkara shops in the US who can answer urgent questions or provide immediate shipment for any gear you may need right away.

I will be back, but until then, take care (and don't break anything).


Palms SpinWalk Clevis

These spinners have several design features that I think sets them apart from the average spinner you can get in the US.

  • Built-in swivel to reduce line twist
  • Stirrup rather than folded clevis (spins more easily)
  • Keel-shaped weight reduces snags
  • Single barbless hook, split ring attachment
Palms SpinWalk Clevis spinnersPalms SpinWalk Clevis spinners come in 2.6 or 3.0 gram weights.

The 2.6 gram spinners are just under 1/10 oz. They come with a single barbless size 6 hook. The French blade is a size 0. The 3 gram spinners are just over 1/10 oz. They come with a single barbless size 4 hook. The French blade is a little larger than a size 1 but quite a bit smaller than a size 2.

When I had both sizes in stock several years ago, the 2.6 gram spinners were more popular, so for now at least, that is the only size I will keep in stock.

Warning:

The hooks are sharp.
The coffee's hot.
The fish are slippery when wet.

All the hooks sold on Finesse-Fishing.com, whether packaged as loose hooks or attached to lures, are dangerously sharp. Some have barbs, which make removal from skin, eyes or clothing difficult. Wear eye protection. Wear a broad-brimmed hat. If you fish with or around children, bend down all hook barbs and make sure the children wear eye protection and broad-brimmed hats. Be aware of your back cast so no one gets hooked.

Also, all the rods sold on Finesse-Fishing.com will conduct electricity. Do not, under any circumstances, fish during a thunderstorm. Consider any fishing rod to be a lightning rod! Fishing rods can and do get hit by lightning!


Whatever you do, do it with finesse!
