La fishing with tenya it is quite new. It originates from the land of the rising sun, Japan, and is basically a type of fishing that combines bait fishing and rock fishing. Its success has been such that many fishing shops already have exclusive articles for its use, therefore, it could be said that the tenya is fully installed in the European fishing mode, at least.
What I like most about this modality is that it is quite effective, something that is, without a doubt, what is sought when developing new techniques or equipment for this sport.
fishing with tenya
Tenya fishing is very varied, whether from cliffs, rock structures, ports or by boat, the use of the tenya for fishing, in your favorite spaces, is perfectly possible.
Basically I had her looking for use jig heads with large fixed hooks. To this is added an auxiliary hook below, this being something that closely resembles what is done in rockfishing. For those who have equipment of this modality, adapting it to the tenya is possible only by making certain modifications.
What is sought with this type of assembly is that when making the casts the hook can touch the bottom, but the jig head remains vertical. What is sought is to simulate with this a small fish that crawls along the seabed. You can also use a shrimp as part of the bait, this for better results.
The predators' bites are then expected to be sharp and to try to remove the dragging bait. By adding movement to this staged scene with a plumb head, it is hoped that the fish will not mistrust and can bite the suet assertively.
