From a 2015 National Capital Chapter Trout Unlimited shad report:
"However, nothing topped the sheer giddiness of Joe Witte as he attempted to land shad on a Tenkara rod. On Friday he anchored next to me and promptly hooked what may well have been the first American shad ever fought on a Tenkara anywhere. You'd think Joe would start with hickories but he really didn't know the difference and had only just learned of the shad run. That first fish made short work of the reel-less rod and escaped with a splash, seen in the photo above. Soon Joe was on to another, this time a small buck, and the fish circled his boat, never tiring. Bob Smith had to net the pesky shad one boat over and take him off the leash."
Having fished with tenkara and for shad, if you decide to do this, I'd recommend fabricating some kind of lanyard for the tenkara rod.
