The Tenkara USA Satoki is the culmination of our attempt to offer the versatility of the Sato rod in a stronger and longer configuration for tenkara anglers chasing larger fish on larger waters.
The Satoki is our biggest triple zoom rod and can be fished at 10'8", 12'2", and 13'7". At the shorter lengths, it balances incredibly well in hand due to the counterbalance of the collapsed sections. At 13'7", it's smoother casting than our other offerings at this length. It provides a confident feel when casting and playing fish of all sizes. With a 22.5" closed length, the Satoki is easy to pack to that larger river or neighborhood pond you'll be fishing.
The handle has our natural double-tapered design to give the angler options for holding the rod for any given circumstance. We opted for durable foam construction to match the heavier use we anticipate for the rod. The Satoki handle assembly has a striking woven graphite finish, with classic reddish brown segments throughout the rod. The Satoki also features our (patent pending) "keep your plug" system and triple zoom functionality.
What makes this rod special? This rod is longer and more robust than the Sato (our best selling rod) and will put up a fight!

“New favorite rod. Just spent a week in the Sawtooth range catching rainbow trout with the Satoki--super fun to fight fish on this rod, and never had any concerns about lacking adequate reach or backbone . The ability to 'zoom down' when shifting from one spot to another is a great way to avoid snags.”

“I love the length of the Ito but the flexibility of the Satoki is a great option. It’s like carrying three rods in one. The cast is smooth and it feels good in my hand. The simplicity of Tenkara is always great!”
I like using my tenkara gear to catch:Smaller size fish (say 8-12" / 20-30cm), Medium size fish (12-16" / 30-40cm), Larger size fish (16-20" / 40-50cm), Trout
I like using my tenkara rod in:Very small streams, Mountain streams, Larger streams or rivers, Stillwater
Rivers and streams
Tenkara is simple. My fly spends much more time in the water than with normal fly fishing. I am hoping with the Satoki I will be able to fish a larger variety of streams and fish.

I've only taken this rod out once, and I'm new to Tenkara style fishing. I have to say, I love it! So simple, and easy to pick up. I got everything tied on, and started casting; and within 3 casts I was catching fish. Bluegill just love these smaller flies, and are so much fun on this rod. I can't wait to get out more when the weather warms up a little bit.
