“LOVE the Rhodo! I caught a small mouth bass in the Kern as my first fish and first cast on the Rhodo! Gonna buy the Sato next.”

“Great service as always from Tenkara USA. I was adding to my Tenkara USA collection (Rhodo), having already been delighted with my Sato and Ito. They are all brilliant quality rods and Tenkara USA have always provided a first class service whenever I have made any enquiries.”

I like using my tenkara rod in:Stillwater
So far, still water that contains freshwater fish, but I'll expand outside of that to streams as ...
I got the rod to catch smaller, varied species to document them for iNaturalist. But the sporting aspect of it has been super fun too, as a one pound Largemouth Bass, or a large Common Sunfish, really bends the rod.
I've been mostly fishing beaded flies, streamers, something that has some weight, as I've found it a bit hard to load the road to get lighter, dry flies on the water. A bit of a learning curve, I suppose, with more practice needed.
The portability of the rod is excellent, and both the sock and case protect it from all the other stuff bouncing around in my vehicle during field trips. For as thin as the rod tip is, it seems surprisingly durable, but I appreciate the lifetime warranty just in case something goes awry.
