Tippet (5X)
I recently used my new tenkara amago on the lake by me bank fishing to test the action and response,
putting this longer rod through it passes.
This amago rod passed all tests with flying colors so far. I mostly caught pan fish and a medium size bass unexpectedly. The rod held up beautifully.
I can highly recommend this tenkara rod.
Just an idea, If TenkaraUSA could develop a rod stronger and longer then the Ito, like Wasatch Phoenix Rising 20'24" with 8:4 action or larger with the backbone stroganoff for game fishing like larger mouth I'd be very interested.
I ordered a couple of things for Christmas and got an email saying they were out but would have more in 2 weeks. The communication was great because I would have time to decide if I wanted to cancel or just wait the 2 weeks. I decided to wait but a few days later I was informed they received them and I got my order with plenty of time for Christmas. My boyfriend said the quality was better than previous supplies he’d ordered before. Highly recommend for yourself or as a gift
Great for tightline nymphing.

Can’t wait to put these in for stocking stuffers this year! Thank you!!!
The Amago is perfect for most of my fishing

The Ito is very easy to cast and is very capable at fighting fish. It has a very light feel and that makes detecting takes very easy.
Love the case. The rod masterful.
I was given this rod as a gift years ago, I use it all the time on small creaks close to home (and elsewhere). Snapped a middle section while fishing and was able to get a replacement section painlessly. Tenkara USA just became one of my favorite companies.
very nice product to the eye….nicely packaged. can’t speak to performance yet, but that may have to wait until June.
The big orange is an amazing fly to fish with. Really easy to follow and quick for strikes from trout and the occasional pond bluegill. Definitely need more of these
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.
Works well
Rhodo; iwana (replaced by satoki) I use to fish with traditional fly rods and started using an iwana rod a couple of years ago. I have had a stroke in 2023 and things have changed. These are great rods; simpler fly fishing. I like “fish hunting” With these rods I can move freely and less encumbered.
I carried the replacement parts in case I break a section while fishing. Never had a fish break one, but the tip section, tippets and lures get caught on branches. Accident happen.
This is the best loading and casting line for tight spaces.
Just purchased as stocking stuffers. Hope to try out with friends this spring.
The satoki is a Xmas gift for my 13 year old son. He has been using my Rhoda so this will be his first tenkara. I can’t give a review yet.
The team at Tenkara USA is very efficient and knowledgeable.
Great take anywhere rod that is high quality.
I really like both the simplicity of fishing tenkara, and the increased line control (compared to Western fly fishing). With tenkara, I can focus intently on the line where it enters the water, and I feel this puts me in touch with what’s happening to the fly. It’s true that Western casting (mouse patterns on the bass pond, for example) still has its place in my heart.
But tenkara fits how I like to fish in the Sierra.
