Seaquest Tenkara Rod,Tenkara Rod Kit -1 with Braided Furled Line 5X Tippet and line keepre included

Great rod for the price. I have taught myself Tenkara using this Rod and have caught dozens of trout and grayling with it, using tenkara flies, nymphs and dries. I have caught fish up to 3 lb in the Taff in Cardiff, but it did randomly break while playing a fish although it had had its fair use by then. However Seaquest provided with great customer care and replaced the parts that needed replacing. Thanks!

Four stars because the leader line is not great, and the tippet line was very stiff. After upgrading to straight 5x tippet and kevlar furled leader, this setup is rock solid. I have fished it a number of times, and have landed a handful of trout, including a couple in the 12"+ range. Flex is nice, without being too rigid or soft. Casts easily, and has so far been very durable. I have snagged on things many times, and done the no-no of tenkara rods, and given it a few quick tugs to see if it'll come loose, and the tip has held. The line holder is great, but slightly too large. Take it off the rod while fishing, as inevitably you will sling it into the river, and put it back on the collapsed rod to wind the line on. 10/10 would buy again, and I will likely buy one of these for my brother as a gift. If it came with better quality leader and tippet, and the line holder didn't slide off, I would not hesitate to give it 5 stars.

Always wanted to try fly fishing, so got excited when I heard about the simplicity of Tenkara, and this kit seemed like a pretty low risk way of trying it out. Very surprised by the build quality when it arrived, found it easy to setup and get straight out and start practicing my cast. Gobsmacked to catch a 14” brook trout in my first half an hr learning to cast at the local swimming hole. 5 stars - I’m hooked.

Compact for backpacking, Fly line and leader very cheap products, ok rod and works as expected. Not high end but nether is the price.

Fits nicely in the void between the dirt cheap Chinese telescoping rods for tenkara and the uber-expensive tenkara rods.

I caught fish without knowing what I was doing. I think it has “mojo”! It would help to pick up some real tippet
