Our most portable 11’ rod, the Yama is as capable a fishing tool as it is easy to carry.
Streamlined for fishing
Designed for a tenkara angler who expects the advantages of a longer rod but needs the portability of use. The Yama is only 2.1 ounces and 16” closed, but fishes at an effective 11’.
Extreme Sensitivity with true reach
First introduced with our popular Ukiyo rod, the Yama features a “swell grip”, offering increased sensitivity. That, paired with the 11’ length, makes the Yama an incredibly efficient fishing tool.
Convenience Reimagined
The Yama™ features our patented “Keep-your-plug” system, previously reserved only for our adjustable rods. It’s all about convenience, ensuring you never misplace your rod plug when your mind is focused on the water.
Optimized for mountain stream adventures
The Yama is an excellent rod for almost any typical mountain stream. It’s the perfect ultralight rod for classical tenkara angling.
The Yama is the most portable 11’ rod we’ve offered. It features our textured “swell grip” offering extreme sensitivity but the reach of a more traditional tenkara rod.
