Aventik FreshStart Tenkara Rod in 7ft/8ft, Complete Beginner Tenkara Rod, 24T Carbon Fiber, Easy to Cast Flexible Durable Lightweight and Compact, Ideal for Travel Hiking Camping

Good product for starters. Looks durable.Received Just in time for trout fishing season

Hooked a tree and the rod broke before the 3.74lb line did.This is obviously not right and the line should have broke way before the rod did.

The bottom sections of the rod are made of what seems to be aluminum. It's not fiberglass or carbon fiber as mentioned in the description. Only the few last tip sections are carbon fiber. This explains why this rod is heavier and cheaper than other Aventik tenkara rods. The Amazon explanation isn't very clear.It does seem to be a decent beginner tenkara rod. I might keep it and offer it to my mom or kids.

A lil funky to get used to landing fish without a reel but a nice starter to learn with with out over paying. A easy choice to purchase to try a new fishing style out. Lightweight, easy to pack, good value for cost, performs as expected which it catches fig, cast well and is sturdy.

Absolutely impressed with the quality of these rods, fished all day today with them 6+ hours caught over 20 bluegill and sunfish with me and my girlfriend, very beginner friendly. Only complaint I have is the paint quality seems inconsistent, both of our rods have some random blemishes and blurs, but no big deal! They'll get fishy anyway lol! Super fun thank you Aventik for making this affordableWe added mods to the tube it came in such as adhesive hooks to hold the line and weather stripping to hold the flys tight for storage, we did not buy the full kit and used our own fly fishing backing for the tie to the Lilian.I advise using YouTube videos and research to understand how Tenkara rods and fishing setups work.Since we are not fishing for trout we just used our fly fishing equipment for these rods, such as nylon backing and tippet, works perfectly fine for panfish and small bass, dry flies and wet flies.
