I'd love to sit and take my time and source a good Japanese rod and accessories, but I'm moving in two weeks and if I'm gonna incorporate any fishing into this road trip, I need the setup sooner rather than later. Was looking at the Sato, but they are back ordered, and frankly... I would pay that much, but would prefer not to.

After this trip any future fishing will likely be done in Wisconsin as part of whatever bike camping trips I go on, so that's a consideration. Other than that, I don't have enough experience to really drill down on what kinds of waters I want to fish, or what kinds of fish I'd want to target. I imagine I'd probably be more prone to rivers/streams with some cover, but something with all-round competencies would likely be desirable.

Also would love any recommendations folks have for regional flies/kit and good sites to fish along the way!

Cheers, and thanks for the help!

Edit: went through Tenkara Rod Co and Dragontail Tenkara, right now the Mutant zx380 is looking like a front runner. Gonna pick up a net, the 24 pack of Futsu Kubari flies, and figure out what kind of line will be good to have on reserve for the trip. Should be more than enough until I get settled again, but I'm gonna wait a while before I place the order in case anyone else has advice!
