Complete Set: ITO™ Rod + Kit

The rod is solid, and performed without fail. Was very nice to get my line about halfway across the river. Thanks again for a quality product!

Tenkara USA is a first class company. Awesome rod. Thanks

Nice rod…I liked 14’7” length Used it for many years. It fits the Firehole, Madison and all through the park nicely.

Fishing with the ITO is sick a blast. I don’t fly fish at all but the learning curve to use this rod was really easy and quick with a few casts I was able to effectively catch several speckled trout and whiting I will continue to test this rods limits with saltwater species. Fish on

Eh pescado con mi Ito excelente truchas marrones de mas de 30cms en el Río Gallegos chico , ha sido una diversión total. Y también pejerreyes en la costa marina de Bahía San Blas , amo esta caña. También tengo mi Iwana de 12 pies qué he utilizado para pescar truchas Fontinalis en el Río Coyle norte, muy feliz con ella también . Excelentes cañas

Love the rod
Great service

Tenkara USA...you have me for life! I'm so impressed with my new Ito rod, and even more impressed with the quality of your company. As a long and very experienced fisherman, who takes pristine care of my things I didn't think there was a chance that I could break a tip on my rod, but I did, and it was entirely my fault. I am in disbelief that for $17, within just a couple of days, I could have a new tip section and be back on the river. That is the ultimate definition of customer care and loyalty. The pleasure of your company matches the pleasure of being on a river. Thank you for that.

Great to have on you so you can fish anytime easy to carry in the car or even in a backpack on the bicycle.

ITO™ 13' / 14'7" (adjustable)

I really like the ITO rod ,took a little bit to get used to casting a bigger rod but casts real well. Have caught all types of fish and size of fish. Trout, bluegill, bass of all types, crappie and even large carp, I did have my first ITO break on a VERY LARGE Carp but I think any rod would have snapped with the size of carp it took to break. Also I had caught many large carp and even landed a few after tough fights so that may have stressed the rod. Don’t particularly recommend you take this rod carp fishing, but I know it is possible to land one on this rod. Tenkara USA stood behind their warranty and sent me a complete new rod for a nominal fee. Good deal seeing I only had the handle left! Would definitely purchase more rods from Tenkara USA in the future one of my favorite rods and I have many from all the brands.

Longer is better

Really a great product, thoughtfully designed and packaged. The kit makes the buying process (and decision fatigue!) easy. Thank you.

Have had the Ito out an a few trips so far, the more I fish this rod the more I'm liking the reach when extended. I like to choke up on the handle with my thumb and forefinger touching the blank, gives me more casting feel and the rod is balanced and feels lighter. The rod cast light #2-2.5 level lines 5-6m long with ease and I have no doubt will handle longer lines and larger water and fish while being a lot of fun catching 6-12" trout on the smaller streams I fish.

I have never been disappointed with a Tenkara rod. Or any product from Tenkara USA. I most recently bought the Ito and at 13 feet it is so easy to cast and feels great. At 14 it’s a little slower but great for that extra reach. I cannot recommend the Ito or any product from this company enough!

The extra length is almost never a hinderance in fishing from my experience, but I also have a rhodo so I usually take that one on very tight cover and the ito for everything else

I Fish exclusively with the rod during the winter time especially in low Clearwater can fish with my gloves on don’t have to worry about any reel freezing up and the line icing up especially at my age 75 with neuropathy

Really like the Ito. In its 13ft length it casts beautifully, but it is a bit tip heavy once extended to the 14ft 7" length, which can be wearing on the wrist, however it is a great feature and definitley a big help when reaching those further out lies on bigger rivers and for fighting larger fish. Would give it 5 stars if the extended length was only a bit tip heavier than the shorter length, but the difference is quite significant.

I have fished the Sato for many years on very small creeks. The Ito has always seemed a bit long for the water I fish. I was surprised how awesome this rod performed on even small creeks. Occasionally I will compress one section if I need it to be shorted but that is on rare occasions. Fishing the full length with 8 ft. of level line is such an awesome way to go. I would highly recommend this rod for ALL sizes of water. This is definitely the best rod Tenkara USA makes.

Great for reaching deep water in small ponds during winter.

Just gives you that additional reach when you need it,fantastic telescopic rod and goes completely well with my Tenkara backpack both the Sato and the Ito have me covered for any Situation

This rod is amazing. I’ve had nothing but good experiences with it. I love the 14’7” option. I find myself using my Ito more than my regular fly rod because it’s more convenient and it can pretty much pull in fish in the same places as well. Also the length helps with presentation a lot.

We bought this rod for a recent trip to SE Alaska. We were curious to know whether and how a tenkara rod would hold up to larger fish...maybe a bit larger than the ones we'd seen on a cursory run through of tenkara fishing for "large" fish. We were pleased with the rod's performance catching Dolly Vardens, Pinks and Cohos, some in the 12-15 pound range. It was fun, it worked well, and didn't seem to unduly stress the fish (at least no more than the 8 weight setup we used side-by-side.

The Ito is a nice rod with a long reach. Good sensitive feel for a larger rod. Lightweight for backpacking. I live near the ocean so tried for perch with a fly looking like a sand crab, and rock fish with a fly looking like a squid and will continue experimenting with flies and locations. The rod casts a heavier fly very well. I also use it for trout in the mountains. Works great on small/large water and lakes also. I think it is going to be the one I use the most. Hard to go wrong with this rod since it can be used for anything and anywhere.

The Ito is a great rod for larger rivers or anyplace you need some extra reach. The Ito feels very light in the hand at 13'. When fully extended, I notice some added fatigue in my forearm so I use it most at 13' and then extend to 14'7" when distance is needed.
