Tenkara Rod Kit 6:4 7:3 9'5" 10'9" 12' 13'5"

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!

Good in this prize

Just...WOW. What an excellent, well featured Tenkara rod at a ridiculously great value. I cannot believe all that is included, the craftsmanship/build quality, flex, casting, balance, and especially the included accessories (line, tippet, spare tip plug, spare grip cap, two spare rod tip sections, even three flies). Definitely the best deal going in Tenkara.For reference/perspective, I've owned a total of six Tenkara rods (counting this one):DragonTail ShadowFire 365 (excellent 12'/6:4 rod $100)MaxCatch 3x Zoom 33573 (excellent 10'8''/11'10''/12'9''/7:3 rod $55)MaxCatch 3x Zoom 29773 (excellent 8'10''/9'9''/10'6''/something between 6:4-7:3 rod $54)Angler Dream Tenkara (unimpressive, heavy, and stiff but inexpensive 13'/7:3 $44)DragonTail Hellbender 2x Zoom (unimpressive, mediocre build, and expensive 11'4"/13' $150)The two DragonTail rods are definitely higher end (or at much more expensive) rods. I really like (love) the DragonTail ShadowFire 365 rod, but honestly did not care for the DragonTail HellBender rod at all (substandard build quality -- especially for the price -- and just really poor fishability). The only rod I didn't like even more than the HellBender was the Angler Dream rod (just overall unimpressive, heavy, and poor flex). I also really like the MaxCatch zoom rods and consider them to also be an excellent "sleeper" deal on 3x zoom Tenkara rods. I have held (but not actually fished) much more expensive and higher end brands of Tenkara rods ($300-400), but in comparing them to to the $100 DragonTail ShadowFire 365 rod, in my opinion, there just simply isn't a reason for a Tenkara rod to be 3x the price of the ShadowFire 365, when it just can't offer any more than that rod does. Simply put, I would never actually buy one of those overpriced brands, because there's just no reason to when I can get the same features, feel, and quality out of a $100 rod.All that being said, this SeaQuest rod is probably the best out of all them, including the two DragonTail rods (and again, I really do love the DragonTail ShadowFire 365), and it's $40 cheaper than the DragonTail ShadowFire 365. I just really couldn't believe the build quality of this rod -- it really is on par with rods that are not considered "discount" Tenkara rods. One of the main things I didn't care for about the DragonTail HellBender rod was the build quality, including the printing, paint, etc. The SeaQuest rod actually has excellent build quality, printing, paint, cork, etc. The color of the rod (and storage tube) is really beautiful. Even the grip cap is metal rather than plastic. The kit includes an extra grip cap as well as an extra tip plug. More importantly, they also include two extra tip sections (one shorter, one longer). These are normally purchased at extra cost, and that's only if they're available (most "discount" manufacturers don't even offer replacement tips). The kit also includes decent (not great) furled Tenkara line, as well as two 9' lengths of 5x tippet, and three Tenkara flies. The kit comes completely ready to fish. You could literally do an unboxing at waterside and start fishing.The rod fishes/casts really nice. At 3.7 oz it's a little on the heavier side when compared to higher end, expensive rods, but we're talking a fraction of an ounce. It has a 19% (29") balance point over the total 13' of the rod, which more than makes up for the 0.7-0.9 oz of weight over the much more expensive rods. I highly suspect that the three shorter versions of the rod have an even better (shorter) balance point, but this is very good for such a long rod. The cork is above average quality, and the handle is a very comfortable gourd shape. Fishing the rod results in minimal fatigue. I really like the 13'5" reach of the rod and the 6:4 action. I don't live in trout/stream/creek country. I use it to fish local ponds and lakes for panfish, small bass, etc. I use DragonTail Oudachi 14' furled line (I sometimes use level line, typically the same length as the rod) with a ~3' 4x tippet. With the the 13'5" rod, 17' of line/tippet, and a nice #12 beadhead nymph, I get great reach from the shore out to where the larger panfish are hugging the bottom during the moderate Florida Winter temperatures. Just an overall pleasure of a rod -- definitely captures the simplicity, art, and finesse of Tenkara fishing. The relatively low price is just a welcome bonus -- SeaQuest could definitely charge more for this rod and it would be worth it.I've posted pics with captions, specs, included accessories, etc. on the rod.Edit: Added more pics of caught fish, including small bass, huge bluegill, etc. The rod is still doing great!

The media could not be loaded. ottima canna da tenkara. non leggerissima ma morbida e robusta. azione indicata 6:4 veritiera .Non è una piuma come i prodotti japponesi ma costa un quarto e ti permette di giocartela con pesci da un kg senza paura di rompere il cimino .perfetta per iniziare ma assolutamente consigliatissimo per andare a cavedani dove la taglia può essere decisamente importante!

As advertised.

Väldigt gedigen kvalitet för pengarna verkar det vara. Har dock inte provat ett annat tenkaraspö, däremot många spinnspön. Det följde med en extra topp och en extra plupp, 2 linor och 2 tafsar samt 3 flygor. Korken släpper någon dammig färg och behöver tvättas av och sen oljas, men ger ett fint intryck efter det.Jag är väldigt nöjd med spöt som åker med i ryggsäcken för ifall det finns möjlighet att fiska

Alles wie beschrieben. Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Auch die zusätzlichen Teile, wunderbar.Immer wieder gern, danke.
