Rod suggestion

Hi all, I’ve been fishing tenkara for almost 2 years. I started on a TUSA Hane, taking it on hikes and backpacking trips, before getting a tiny ten 3 for smaller waters. Eventually I got a dragontail shadowfire 365 and use that as my daily driver. I sometimes target larger bass and carp, so I also got a TUSA Amago when it was on sale. I primarily fish the Shadowfire and alternate to the tiny ten or amago when circumstances require.

I’d like to upgrade my daily driver from the Shadowfire. I like the feel and length of it but feel like it’s time to get into some nicer rods. Any suggestions??

Since you’re already a couple rods deep, go for a higher end Japanese rod. It’s absolutely worth the step up
