Goture Tenkara Rod Kit 12FT/3.6M Fishing Rod and Combo Tenkara Starter Rod Kit with Carry Case Telescopic Fly Fishing Rod for Streams, Trout, Bass, Crappie, Salmon 11ft/12ft/13ft

Getting into Tenkara fly fishing. I have fly fished for years and want to try something new. This was a “complete” Kit to get you started. It is a 12 (twelve) foot rod that is fairly stiff. It can be used for many different species. The fly line is a braided type and I will be adding a level line soon.

This is a replacement to my first purchase that broke the first time I tried to retract the rod. Got a replacement and have not not had a chance to use until now and like the first one, broke trying to retract for the first time.Clearly my return policy is past but I can only now tell all of you potential buyers to not only walk away but run away from this POS rod.Junk, junk and only junk…..

My absolutely favorite tenkara rod. My go to at this price point. If your just getting into tenkara and dont want to spend a ton of money till you know your gonna like it this is the rod to try. Caught everything from 3 lb bass to trout and monster sunfish. It casts easily with pvc line and I am very accurate with it. I can cast from my kayak right under all those over hanging tree limbs. It’s balanced nicely and not too heavy. I’ve purchased 6 different inexpensive tenkara rods and they are all heavy compared to this one. It doesn’t tire my arm out. I have just purchased an expensive Japanese tenkara rod but don’t have it yet. I’ll update this review once I’ve tried out the dragon tail rod.

This rod works well and comes with good accessories. The problem is you will break sections and getting replacement sections is in my experience at least is impossible. Comes with extra 1 and 2 sections, but they are flexible and dont break easily. the third section however is very stiff and thin and breaks very easily. Have tried to contact them for replacement to no avail. Could be a good product if you can get replacement sections. Update... I've been in contact with goture and they replaced the sections under warranty. They have been very helpful.

For just getting into Tenkara this is a great combo. Very light and easy to use.

The 7:3 action is great for setting the hook! Handled a 13 inch rainbow very well. Comes with extra tip that is in the bag. This is a great starter kit for anyone looking to get into Tenkara

Product came to me as advertised. The third section from the top snapped on a lateral tug near the join as shown in the accompanying photo. I had used the rod three days and caught roughly 10 trout. I contacted manufacturer via their website email. After several back and forth requests for information they have agreed to send a replacement section. They couldn't tell me how long it would take due to ..... etc. Quote: 'But it may take some time, because of the epidemic, the delivery is sent from the warehouse and needs to go through various inspections.'I don't know if I'll be charged for it or the shipping and they offer no tracking, yet.

Horrible product. Got this for my husband for Christmas and took it out fishing first time, it broke in 2 places just assembling it. Cork handle is very poor quality sheds in your hands. Quality of pole was so poor if it didn't break during assembly it most definitely would not have lasted if you caught a fish. Very disappointing unless this happened to be a lemon as even replacement parts didn't fit together properly
