Nice! I bought the HANE as my first Tenkara rod, now I'm thinking about the ITO as my next one.

[@dougroberts4535]

I am also looking at getting the Hane as my first Tenkara rod. What are your thoughts about it after fishing with it for a while?

[@adamw8469]

@@dougroberts4535 the best rod I have. I use it most often and have had the most success with it. I'd definitely buy from tenkaraUSA again. Bought some extra flies, level line and braided line. Service was excellent.

Just bought a Sato and I’m loving it!

Thank you. Very informative.

what rod is suitable for bigger fish and/or river with fast current? think 17"-20" brown and rainbow trout. I need something equivalent of 6wt western fly rod in fighting power.

[@barry4fish]

Get the Ito, it is closest to what you need. Longer length and bigger cork grip gives more power and control.

This chick is the Martha Stewart of fishing.

In Merica we call this Cane Pole fly fishing. This aint something we just learned this from the Japanese. My Ole man been fly fishing like this with a cane pole in the deep south of Arkasas back when he was a kid.

[@barry4fish]

It only resembles a cane pole in appearance, that’s the only similarity. Much much lighter, more accurate for casting small flies, also allows drag-free drift when nymph fishing. Look up the history, this fishing technique can be traced way back further than the U.S. was ever settled by Europeans.

[@crazydansmachineshop8718]

@barry4fish The early Americans (including Indigenous) knew nothing about what you call Tenkura. In America, this this has always been known as "Cane Pole fishing." This technique uses a line attached to the end of a long pole rather than being attached through a rod to a reel. YES, much like what the Japenese call "Tenkura"

Used to be a great company. Now you can't leave a comment on their website without signing up to another website. Annoying. Also Annoying is: When you spend over $200 on their website, they add things to your cart that you didn't order, and it doesn't show up as a product. It shows up at the very bottom of the cart, small as it can be printed(unnecessary shipping insurance) that I didn't put in my cart. Highly Suspicious and possibly opening up themselves to a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. And they do it for what? A few more pennies of profit. They have sold their Integrity for pennies. I have lost ALL respect for this Company. Forever. Great Rods. Poor Foresight of Management.
