This is a nice rod for the money. If you want tenkara, consider Dragontail.

I prefer not to fish with really expensive equipment. I have had this rod out six or eight times. It is my fourth tenkara rod. I mostly fish still water, so I like the extra reach. I also like how light the rod is. I primarily catch trout up to 16” or so. I limit this rod to 5x tippet. I normally fish #14 or smaller nymphs or dries. On the rare occasion that I fish a stream, it’s nice to collapse the rod to a little shorter length, so that can be handy, but I would rather take a shorter tenkara rod for stream work. If you will own only one tenkara rod, the zoom feature is nice. I think it’s a great rod for the price. It handled well for both still water and streams.

be very very delicate with these rods

I bought this rod to replace the previous DRAGONtail rod which for whatever reason snapped as I had a perch on it and the section next to top broke in half . I couldn’t find a way to replace that section so I took the dive and invested in another rod ... this morning as I was un tie ing my line from the rod’s tip .. the tip broke off in my hand .. a little shocking ... so now I have two unusable rods.. i appreciate the handling thats required when using this type of equipment but these events make me think i should look at another brand ... or maybe theres replacement parts

Best Rod Ever!

Wow! I have never caught so many fish so fast. Packs down to nothing and back out again in mere seconds... Great for any river or Creek surrounded by bush. Sensitive enough to feel the smallest trout, yet strong enough to haul in a 20+ inch fish.

Excellent quality.

If your on the fence about Tencara. Just buy this rod. It is a win win with price vs quality.

Missing items

I received my DRAGONtail Tenkara Hydra today. When I opened the package I was only shipped the rod and not the rest of the kit. I’m missing the furled line, line holder, tippet, and flies. The pictures show the starter kit package with all the for mentioned items. Unfortunately I can’t used the rod without those items.
