Zen Fly Fishing Baichi Tenkara Rod. Baichi means “medium” and Zen Fly Fishing has what they call a medium “zoom” rod. Fished at either 9’ or 11’ this tenkara rod has a 7:3 flex and features their new swivel tip Lillian. The Baichi is the perfect transition rod for those attached to their 9’ 5 weight. This rod is light and incredibly flexible but was designed with guides, transition anglers and high durability in mind. It’s stiffer and less delicate - providing easier hook-ups, and, can take more of a beating. Zen created this rod for bigger fish, 14”-20” and is a powerhouse for nymphing. It could quickly become your go-to tenkara rod. Recommended tippet size is between 4x and 6x.
