Such a great rod and overall fishing experience for a very reasonably priced rod. It's so light and so well balanced that I almost forget I'm holding/fishing it. I would literally get the same level of fatigue if I was simply holding my arm up the air with my hand empty. The rod is very strong and can handle landing a pretty big (not huge) fish. It's very flexible (every bit of a 6:4), but also very strong and doesn't feel wimpy. The cork handle is nice and high end with a great hourglass shape to it. It also has a longer lillian than most other rods I've tried. All the materials used (rod sections, cork, caps, lillian, storage tube, storage sock, etc.) all seem to be of really nice quality. I have since bought cheaper rods that I also like and are pretty close to this quality for the most part (but not everything), but I have zero regrets for buying this rod as it's still a much nicer rod at very good and reasonable price. I've also discovered that I like all DragonTail brand line, tippet, flies, etc. the best, so even on my non-DragonTail rods, I'm still using DragonTail brand accessories. Review: Great rod with a quick setup - Great tenkara rod. Had only tried fly fishing before. Only issue is I live in Australia so not a lot of trout as they aren't native. Not the rods issue, but wish I could use it more. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00N36YY1O | | Action | Fast | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Brand | DRAGONtail Tenkara | | Brand Name | DRAGONtail Tenkara | | Colour | Multicolour | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 419 Reviews | | Fishing Rod Power | Ultra Light | | Fishing Technique | Fly | | Handle Material | Ethylene Vinyl Acetate | | Item Weight | 82 Grams | | Line Weight | 2.7 kilograms | | Manufacturer Part Number | DT-SHADOWFIREPACKAGE | | Material | Graphite | | Material Type | Graphite | | Model Number | DT-SHADOWFIREPACKAGE | | Number Of Pieces | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Rod Length | 12 Feet | | Target Species | Trout | | Tension Level | Medium | | UPC | 852667678265 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DRAGONtail Tenkara - **Colour:** Multicolour - **Fishing Technique:** Fly - **Material:** Graphite - **Number of Pieces:** 1 ## Images ![Shadowfire 12' Tenkara Rod Plus Complete Starter Package - Flies, Leader, Tippet, Line Holder, Storage Tube, and Rod Sock - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617oCcH1KeL.jpg) ![Shadowfire 12' Tenkara Rod Plus Complete Starter Package - Flies, Leader, Tippet, Line Holder, Storage Tube, and Rod Sock - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gHfdedoDL.jpg) ![Shadowfire 12' Tenkara Rod Plus Complete Starter Package - Flies, Leader, Tippet, Line Holder, Storage Tube, and Rod Sock - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HN2g-OSwL.jpg) ![Shadowfire 12' Tenkara Rod Plus Complete Starter Package - Flies, Leader, Tippet, Line Holder, Storage Tube, and Rod Sock - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SNpjp8PnL.jpg) ![Shadowfire 12' Tenkara Rod Plus Complete Starter Package - Flies, Leader, Tippet, Line Holder, Storage Tube, and Rod Sock - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8191J+FU03L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a Great Tenkara Rod *by C***T on 15 November 2023* This is my first Tenkara rod, but I've tried several other since and wow, did I ever make a good decision/choice to buy this one first.

Had only tried fly fishing before. Only issue is I live in Australia so not a lot of trout as they aren't native. Not the rods issue, but wish I could use it more. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great company and rod *by G***L on 28 June 2025* So far im really liking this rod! First time I have done any fly fishing and I found it very intuitive to use. I did have an issue with the tip breaking but it seemed like a manufacturing defect as after a homemade repair job it still worked and I was landing fish from our local pond. I contacted Dragontail and they were super responsive and helpful, and have sent out a replacement. I am very impressed with their customer service and with the rod overall and would definitely recommend. ## Frequently Bought Together - DRAGONtail Shadowfire 365 12' Tenkara Fly Fishing Rod - Nirvana Small Silicone Waterproof Fly Box w/Artwork By Anthony Naples (Aqua Blue) - DRAGONtail Tenkara Hi-Vis Orange 30m Fluorocarbon Fishing Line --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/299494642-shadowfire-12-tenkara-rod-plus-complete-starter-package-flies-leader](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/299494642-shadowfire-12-tenkara-rod-plus-complete-starter-package-flies-leader) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-10-07*
