Testimonials

Let satisfied tenkara anglers speak for us.

Tenkara Usa Ukiyo Rod testimonial.

KEVIN FRICKE, TENKARA ANGLER.

"The best light rod I have used. Love the balance and feel of the rod. Able to handle 14" fish. Great compact size."

Tenkara Usa Ukiyo Rod testimonial.

DAN PIERCE, TENKARA ANGLER.

"I was happy to find the Ukiyo cast surprisingly smooth for the number of short segments and had an overall consistent flex. I cast 3.5 level line ranging from 7-16 feet with no issues. But most importantly it hooked, played, and landed the 6-10 inch wild brook trout I target in fast moving mountain streams!"

Tenkara Usa Ukiyo Rod testimonial.

Michael Agneta, TENKARA ANGLER.

"The textured and circumference of the “swell” grip in no way draws attention away from one’s fishing experience. I fished the Ukiyo on two separate outings, first on a small blue line for wild rainbow trout, then on a somewhat larger (but still tight) stream for stocked browns, rainbows, and brookies"

Jack Boyd (Spring, US)
I like using my tenkara gear to catch: Smaller size fish (say 8-12" / 20-30cm), Medium size fish (12-16" / 30-40cm), Larger size fish (16-20" / 40-50cm), Very Large fish (>20" / 50cm), Trout
I like using my tenkara rod in: Very small streams, Mountain streams, Larger streams or rivers, Stillwater, Backpacking and remote waters
Warm Water lakes, rivers, creeks, and bayous. Trout streams

This is a do it all rod. I've used several rods from various other Tenkara companies. This is hands down my favorite. Super lightweight, compact, and can put the beating on heavier fish (even though it's designed for the little guys). Super sweet design and the performance is unmatched.

I've landed large Carp, buffalo, bass, catfish, several species of sunfish and trout.

I own every version Tenkara USA rod. Bought my first 11’ Iwana back in 2019. Gave up FlyFishing and strictly fish Tenkara ever since. I bought the Ukiyo a few months ago and finally used it for the first time this past week on a 3 day trip. Tenkara USA hit it out of the park with this amazing rod! I had several other rods with me but fell so in love with this one all 3 days in all types of streams and rivers. It’s just shy of 10’ but it fished awesome with various lengths of Tenkara line and level line. This is my go to rod now. If you are on the fence, just buy it. It is so comfortable and the action is great. What a great little rod! Great job on this one!

I was actually sent the Hane instead of the ukiyo. I am taking it out on a camping trip tomorrow and Saturday so we will be able to test it out and see how it does as kind of an all around adventure rod. Everything looks great so far!
