Tenkara Rods Pro IM12 Nano 6:4 Action Mini Sizes All Water Conditions Quality Carbon Tube Packing, Extra Spare Sections Included, Tenkara Fly Rods

Excellent rod. I took this on a backpacking trip where I had a solid mile and a half of bushwhacking. This was perfect because I didn't have to worry about it catching on a branch and breaking while hiking in. I used it on a lot of small and large holes and it was really good. I have the 10 foot version but used the 11 foot float line with a 4 foot tippet. It was plenty of line for everywhere I fished. Highly recommend the small attachment to the handle to wind your line on when going from fishing hole to hole as it makes it a lot easier to go between locations.

It's to long most places I fish I order 6' one use the 10' on big river and shorter rod on small creeks. Other than that well worth the money nice metal tube and sock extra tips.

I purchased this for a 200 mile hike on PCT and JMT. I usually take a 7 piece fly rod, reel and some flies- this rod weights in at 10ounces! so light I kept it in the aluminum case. Using a tenkara takes some getting used when you are trying to land a fish to but I caught lots of fish with the rod. It is well made, easy to use once you get used to rigging it up and how to secure the line when you put it away. The long size (compared to a traditional fly rod) can be a bit difficult to maneuver in brushy conditions but for the small streams in the high sierra this worked beautifully. Caught several golden, rainbow and brookies! (only ate the brookies)

a very compact, lightwieght, and versitile rod. very handy for spur of the moment fishing. high quality product for such a low price.

Box had been re-taped & crushed enclosure. Aluminum container was scarred/scratched in several places and contents were just thrown in un-neatly. I was expecting a new item during this "Big Deal" sale.

Product is wonderful sturdy and compact. A small pies of the case was missing. I wrote the company and they kindly sent me the cap piece swiftly.

I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of this rod. The rod is super and lightweight and very compactable.The action of the rod and the balance seem to be very conducive to smooth casting. It doesn't have a reel, you essentially use this rod like a giant cane pole.It comes with an extra rod tip, some line, and some flys to start out with. The flys are interesting because they are tied in reverse of a regular fly-fishing fly. The head of the fly faces the hook.I'm new to tenkara fishing and so far have not actually managed to catch any fish with it but the performance of the rod has made it a pleasure to use.Can't wait to hook my first fish with this. Great rod!

This is a bargain price for a well-made and well packaged tenkara rig. The rod is a good length and has a good range of motion. The extra tip is nice insurance, the tube small but secure, and the Lillian easy to tie on.However, my home water is the driftless area of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa. My opinion is that the more technical springfed creeks in that area, most of the time, a Tenkara rig is a mistake. Simply put, a 3 to 5 weight fly rod is going to be easier to use in places with heavy tree cover or underbrush, and more versatile when you need to shoot some line to reach a bend in the creek just a little beyond Tenkara range. Don’t get me wrong, it is kind of awesome that you can pack a nice travel rig into such a small space as this, which makes this a great option if you are traveling and aren’t sure if you can get out on the water. But simply put, I cannot imagine that anyone would prefer this to flyfishing in that kind of situation. Maybe mountainous, high gradient streams like Tenkara was designed for our different, dunno. But given that this entire rig is about the same price as one spool of fly line, it’s worth taking a shot.

Great quality, perfect action, perfect portability! The hard case is a bit bigger than it needs to be, but it also comes with a quality sleeve (and an extra end section as well!)Bought it for my wife (who is getting into Tenkara fishing), so we'd have something to both bring on bike rides to the local ponds. :D She caught a few panfish the first time we popped it in the water, and she was hooked! 🎣I have another brand that I've been using as my main rod that is 13 feet long. I paid twice the price for that one, but the Aventik Nano (we got the 9 foot, 10-Section Kit) is so quick and portable and fun to use that I want to get another one, just for me, and buy one for all my friends and family next year!Tenkara is sometimes a bit restrictive (you can't cast into the distance) but you can also bring it anywhere easily and and be up and running so quicklyIf you're at all considering this rod, don't hesitate!Hope this helps, and fish on!
