Tenkara Sato Fly Fishing Rod Multi-Size Telescopic (10’8″, 11’10”, 12’9″)

The Tenkara USA Sato is a compact and lightweight tenkara rod. At its shorter length it is perfect for tighter streams, and at its full length it will be ideal when the stream opens up again or when you find a bigger pool to cast your fly.

Tenkara has achieved what they set out to do: give you a rod that is super light-weight, durable, versatile and feels very precise.

The Sato has two patent pending features:
Triple-Zoom: this allows you to use the rod at three different lengths - 10'8", 11'10", and 12'9" (330, 360, 390 cm). Tenkara recommends rods that are closer to 13 ft, yet 12 ft is the average rod length. So, they felt a rod with the 3 most common lengths would be an easy choice: short to ease you into tenkara, long to give you a taste of the advantages presented by a long tenkara rod.
Keep Your Plug system (patent pending): Tenkara designed the Keep Your Plug system after realizing people lost their rod plugs on a regular basis. Next time you go fishing, remove the plug from the top end of your rod and insert it into the hole at the bottom of your rod.

ACTION: We're phasing out the Tenkara rod index system. If you have been tenkara fishing for sometime and want a frame of reference, the Sato is a fast action 6:4.
