I took both a tenkara and a full 4wt rod up with me to the Winds this past weekend, and I thought it was the perfect setup.
The beauty of the tenkara setup isn't in how light it is, it's in how quickly you can deploy it. it takes me ~15 seconds to go from fully stored to fishing-ready, which means that I could quickly stop for a 5 minute break at any number of small streams. When fishing small, pockety water, the tenkara was perfect, and a lot of fun.
Then, the full rod was perfect for when I was at camp and wanted to actually fish for a few hours. In those contexts I found the tenkara to be frustrating and limited in capacity, which is no surprise.
We managed to pull 2 or 3 brookies out of this hole on the way up Jackass pass. Really fun - and if all I had was a full rod, I never would have stopped.
