A nod to our past
The Sato is named after Mr. Ernest Satow, an avid mountaineer who was the first person to make a written record of tenkara.
Triple-zoom
The SATO™ can be fished at three different lengths (330/360/390cm), giving you options for just about any situation you encounter.
The SATO was developed to handle it all—from headwaters to main branches of rivers—without needing to reach for a specialty rod. Since it's introduction in 2013, it has become that "one rod" to anglers around the world.
“Bought my Sato two years ago off this website and absolutely love the rod. It works very well with nice action. The products I bought with the rod are also high quality. I definitely recommend.”
Trey Davis
“I am new to Tenkara, and the Sato is my first rod. I like it WAY better than western fly fishing. I love the three zoom positions. Tenkara allows true drag free presentations.”

I was expecting a physical Tenkara book with the kit I purchased. I'm not crazy about a pdf version.
I haven't used the SATO yet as many waters are frozen.
I am looking forward to using the Tenkara fishing method.
Please send an actual copy of the book that I expected in the kit.

Great Rod, however, BUYER BEWARE: This Company will place items/products that you didn't select in your CART(and it wont even show up in your cart as a product, but a small little blurb at the bottom). I believe this to be a highly illegal practice. I believe this company may be opening themselves up to a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. Have you found yourself to be a victim of this activity? I own almost every rod that this company makes. I find this practice to be highly suspicious and a poor reflection on what I thought was a wonderful company. I can not believe that they would sellout their Integrity for such a small gain. So disappointing.

I’m really enjoying this tenkara rod because it’s so easy to carry around and set up. During my lunch break, I can go a do a little fishing.
