Tenkara WorldWide River Master 13ft & Stream Master 11ftRods

[daveb]

I'm looking to invest in either one or two Tenkara rods. The above two rods are available on ebay at a reasonable price, has anybody bought or tried them and if so what are your thoughts about the rods?

Currently my choices are to buy the above two rods or invest in a Daiwa LT39-SF or Tenkara Times Try 360 or 390 rod and purchase a Tenkara Masu at a later date. Alternatively if anybody has a Tenkara Sato they want to move on, I would be very interested.

If anybody has compared the Daiwa and Try side by side I would be very interested in your views.

Thanks,
              Dave

Hello Dave,
Tom Davis and Jason Klass had already reviewed most of this rods:
Worldwide River Master, Worldwide River Master again, TRY360, TRY390,
TRY390 again, tetontenkara.blogspot.com/2014/01/annual-rod-review-summary-january-2014.html, ets...

Although I was very interested in purchasing both rods to cover most of my requirements, I asked Worldwide Tenkara about support for spares and to date I have not received a response.

Due to this after much research and some advice I have bought an 11ft  Masu to cover shorter work and a Daiwa LT39-SF 13ft for when I need a little more control and reach. I got a good deal on both rods and although I didn't want to spend too much, I'd rather pay a little more to ensure I have good rods from a proven manufacturer with spares that are readily available should I have a mishap.

Hopefully both rods will be with me for the weekend when I hope to be able to get out on the bank and put them to the test, (water levels permitting).
