Been thinking about getting a Tenkara outfit to try out next season and found some kits from Maxcatch. I haven't had anything from Maxcatch before and have no experience with Tenkara so looking for some advice. What are thoughts on these https://m.maxcatchfishing.com/Tenkara_combo_.html what action should I be looking for as a beginner?

I bought one of those full kits from Maxcatch a while ago and there is nothing much wrong with it.
The rod sock along with a nice hard tube feels quality. The flies weren’t and the furled lines I haven’t found much use for.
I got a 330cm one but with hindsight should have gone for 360cm or maybe a zoom rod to at least that length. A bit thicker and heavier than a (much) more expensive rod but it certainly catches fish!
Btw Tenkara fishing has definitely improved my success rate compared to regular fly tackle, on the same water.
Perhaps a bit late to be useful for you Gerry, but hopefully useful for others who follow, when I started out with tenkara I struggled with the 7:3 and 8:2 actions, but found the much softer 6:4 actions easy to get to grips with...haven't looked back!
I´ve bought a couple of Oni rods from him and the service has been excellent. Drop him a mail, his name is Gianluca and he speaks excellent English.
Cheers,
