What's the weight?Yep I’ve got a similar one, 10ish bucks on amazon. Not a true “tenkara” but it’s a long telescoping lightweight rod perfect for little mountain creeks!

I found some carbon fiber trekking poles that claim they're 7 ounces each for $60 for the pair so I'm going to start there. Figure that money saving will be better spent somewhere else.
Any suggestions for tripods? I'll be running vortex fury 10x42 and it sounds like for the area I would be going a tripod is pretty needed.

Two good options for a light tripod. KDC granite peak is the lightest and works well. If it’s gonna be a lot of glassing or windy, you might want a regular tripod. modified a promaster 522 by taking off the bottom two legs and putting a lighter ballhead for a total weight of 30ish oz and cost of $120ish.
Is there somewhere I can look at the KDC tripods? Every time I try going to their website I get errors. Been that way for a week or two for me now.
Set up that Tenkara style rod, really liking it! Going to keep tweaking with some epoxy and maybe a shrink wrapped handle grip, longer line, longer tippet and a swivel instead of a tippet ring... but this will definitely be in the pack going forward.

Heck ya! Those trout won’t know what hit em. Took me a little bit to get the hang of tenkara vs normal fly gear but for small creeks it’s just as deadly.
The whole set up cost me about $7! Now I’m afraid I’ll be addicted and end up buying the real deal however
