Our Story
In 2007, Daniel discovered tenkara while researching the history and culture of fishing in Japan. In 2008, he visited Japan for his first time and saw tenkara in person. He returned to the US with a tenkara rod in his bag and started enjoying tenkara on backpacking trips. The method was simple and effective; yet, there was no information in English on tenkara. Daniel decided he wanted to share tenkara with people, it would make it easy for people to take-up fly-fishing and experienced anglers like himself were sure to enjoy its minimalist nature. He realized that to share tenkara he could have written many articles and books about it, but if people didn’t get a chance to experience tenkara for themselves it would not spread. Thus, Daniel set out to create a business designing tenkara rods, tenkara lines and tenkara flies and putting them in the hands of people.

lillian fell out of the tip of the rod and the cap at the base of the handle is cross threaded with no option for replacement by the seller

I keep this rod in the truck just in case we end up somewhere that I can throw a fly. It is also a great beginner rod that helps you only focus on the presentation. I let me young daughter use this and it is helping her pick up on the important things faster vs having to worry about mending and reeling.I was disappointed when I saw the rod case was made in China. I would of purchased through someone else who was USA made instead of this.

Love this rod so far. Don’t buy a cheaper version to save $50. Get a rod that will last forever. Very delicate, easy to cast if you get the Line - Tippet - Fly lengths aligned. Don’t try adding to its max distance, the casts just wont fly. Great addition to my hiking pack just in case we pass a good spot.
