The features of a rod tenya

The rod tenya is distinguished by its technical features, which make it easier to hold and use. The main features of these rods include

  • Length: Tenya rods are generally between 2.40 and 3 metres long, giving you optimum casting distance.
  • Power: They have the right power for the lures used (from 7 to 28 grams), providing good resonance and a realistic presentation of the lure.
  • Action: These rods often have a semi-parabolic action to make it easier to detect bites and reduce the risk of stalling.

The right reels

Reels used for fishing with a rod tenya are generally fixed spool models. They must be large enough to accommodate the braid or nylon used and allow the line to be wound evenly. A precise drag system is also essential to control the fight with the fish.

Tips for successful fishing with a rod tenya

To maximise your chances of success when fishing with a rod tenya, here are a few tips:

  1. Find out where you can fish: Sparids like rocky spots, wrecks and areas with shellfish. Don't hesitate to consult nautical charts or ask local fishermen for advice.
  2. Vary your activities: Adapt your presentation to the behaviour of the fish and the fishing conditions (current, depth, etc.). Alternate between pauses, short and long pulls to find the one that will trigger the attack.
  3. Observe the line carefully: Detecting bites is essential for successful fishing with tenya lures. Pay close attention to the slightest movement of the line and don't hesitate to strike as soon as you feel a pull.

To sum up: an effective technique for fishing for sparids

Fishing with a rod tenya offers a number of advantages for pike anglers. Thanks to its specific characteristics, this technique allows you to use suitable lures and create effective animations to trigger fish attacks. Take the time to choose your tackle carefully and master the use of tenya lures to maximise your chances of success on your fishing trips.
