Named after one of Japan's most beautiful mountain stream trout, the Amago is our longest non-zoom rod at 13ft and 6inches long (410cm). Longer rods provide distinct advantages over shorter rods. Generally speaking, we recommend using the longest rod you can for the stream you are fishing.
Based on the request of several tenkara anglers this rod has a black finish. The handle was meticulously designed to provide good counterbalance to the long rod and for extra comfort on a long day of casting your delicate line and fly . The wider end of the handle serves two purposes: it provides a slightly better counter balance to the rod, and serves as a good grip for using the full length of the rod.
Specs: Length: 13ft 6in (410cm) NOTE: Due to the telescopic nature of the rods, and the fact that we rounded the numbers to have a clean metric-to-English conversion, rod lengths may vary slightly from indicated. Closed length: 21 1/8 inches (53.5cm) including cap Number of segments: 10 Handle length: 11 inches (27.5cm) Weight: 3.5oz (100grams) Finish: Black

“I love my Amago for open water and larger fish. It has a great feel for the fight but it’s deceptively tough. I recently broke a Tenkara pole my brother in law loaned me attempting to land a large fish at Coffee Pot Rapids in Idaho. I replaced it with the Amago from Tenkara USA, which I should’ve used in the first place.”

“Just fished a local stream by the dam and the Amago performed very well. I have used the Sato for most of this year and the Amago was able to place the flies very nicely on the water. The extra length was great. Love my tenkara USA rods!”
I like using my tenkara gear to catch:Larger size fish (16-20" / 40-50cm)
I like using my tenkara rod in:Larger streams or rivers, Stillwater
I live in Florida i mostly fish the lakes by me.
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.
