Replacement Rod section arrived when and as advertised and was easy to insert with the other rod sections.
Replacement part came quickly, and were simple to install.
The Hane kit gave me everything to get started. My goal was an ultra portable fishing kit to carry on my mountain bike, and tenkara USA delivered. I've since purchased level line, furled line and a number of other flies and nymphs.
Siple and thus fun
I just returned home from a 45 day fishing trip. On the trip I broke the tip of my Tenkara pole. When we returned home, the replacement tip was in the mail ready to go. It took less than two minutes to replace! I love my Tenkara Rod.
Love the Amago love the customer service…..
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.
So far no issues, the four patterns provides are a good initial selection and have positive results. The files are durable and for the limited use they have meet expectations.
Great Rod, should have gotten me one 12 years ago.

This was my second Tenkara USA rod and I purchased this one for my Uncle because I love mine.
great casting, especially is tight location, excellent customer support
So much fun when you hook into anything bigger than a foot!
All conditions
Tenkara fishing is very challenging when targeting larger native Trout, but very fulfilling!
The book was good to learn casting and how to read waters
Products seem good quality and packaged really well. Havent had a chance to use yet
So I had just caught the largest west slope cutthroat trout I'd ever caught (it was my first! Doesn't matter it was only six inches.) and I was packing up my rod. I took off the grip's plug, to show my friend how thinge go together, and the top five sections fell to the ground. In my hurry to leave, I managed to jam the larger three into an immovable stick. Couldn't separate them.
Order replacement sections and received them within a week. Very happy with the customer service (Thanks, T.J.).
The rod is great. Very responsive, and the three lengths to adjust it are very usable. Very impressed so far
Great service.
Very fair prices.
It's a nice set wonderfully presented.
Trout. I live in Kansas so I don’t get much opportunity and haven’t used the stuff I order yet.
It is a lark.
Great quality at very reasonable price.
It was actually so easy I kind of tripped over myself, expecting it to be more complicated. The level of 'personal' involvement by Tenkara was more than I expected.
I stupidly broke my rod after stepping on in on a dock. Nice that I could order a new section, although I wish that the process was easier. But my rod is back in pristine condition and all is good! Tight lines!
