Keep your Plug™
No more lost plugs! With our patent-pending feature, simply remove the plug from the top end of your rod and insert it into the hole at the bottom for safekeeping.
A nod to our past
The Sato is named after Mr. Ernest Satow, an avid mountaineer who was the first person to make a written record of tenkara.
Triple-zoom
The SATO™ can be fished at three different lengths (330/360/390cm), giving you options for just about any situation you encounter.
The SATO was developed to handle it all—from headwaters to main branches of rivers—without needing to reach for a specialty rod. Since it's introduction in 2013, it has become that "one rod" to anglers around the world.
“Bought my Sato two years ago off this website and absolutely love the rod. It works very well with nice action. The products I bought with the rod are also high quality. I definitely recommend.”
Trey Davis
“I am new to Tenkara, and the Sato is my first rod. I like it WAY better than western fly fishing. I love the three zoom positions. Tenkara allows true drag free presentations.”
