I would probably go with one of the shorter rods though to start with.<br /><br />Kevin - thanks!<br /><br />Chris - I carry the box over the shoulder, just like my bag. I think that from watching some Japanese tenkara videos they do it the same. There is not much added bulkt, the box is only 2.5" deep and it's very light. I am thinking of alternative solutions though, i.e. like a quick release with magnets on your fishing bag or belt. <br /><br />Jason - thanks, that is exactly the intention of the box. I don't buy the "too lazy" part though...TenkaraOnTheFlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17382490702643300295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411536621710336282.post-6437290873939604132012-03-20T07:26:28.339-06:002012-03-20T07:26:28.339-06:00Karel, sounds like another great day on Bear Creek...Karel, sounds like another great day on Bear Creek!<br /><br />That release box is AWESOME! I love how you can get great pictures without having to rush to get the fish back in the water. I'm too lazy to make one.

I could definitely see myself using one of those when I fish around ponds and lakes.
