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

It is compact

Rod looked to be good quality, but section 2 and 3 snapped the first trout hooked, played the trout close to some shallows, the trout turned to head to deeper water and it just snapped, two sections at the same time.

Would give it 3.5 stars but no option for that. The rod is nice, however, the little strips in each tube that applies the friction when expanding tend to stick out and you need to carefully re-insert them. This caused line to snag on it one time. I only used this three times, each time I had issue with collapsing the rod. I fear that this rod will not last but a couple more fishing trips. For the price point I would assume this rod would last. I enjoyed the Tenkara fishing, but I will be looking at a larger brand name and getting a warranty with the rod. I may look to Japan sites for rods. The Tenkara flies are low level flies, I did not use any of them but opted for some purchased on Amazon that were well constructed. The 12' line could be better, it does not have a metal eyelet for the tipit line as some of the more $$ lines I researched did. All in all, the rod is good, could be less expensive as I would say this is an entry level rod to test the Tenkara waters to see if you like this type of fly fishing. My suggestion, if this is your first time trying Tenkara rod, do not go for the kit. Find a less expensive rod ($20-$40) and get the line and flies separate. If you like, as I did, You can then invest in a higher quality rod set. Update: As expected, the rod broke when trying to collapse. It did come with one replacement tip, which I easily inserted but after 45 minutes of trying to find someplace to purchase more replacement tips I gave up. Do your research, spend a but more $$ if you are into Tenkara fishing on a better quality rod from a manufacture that you can get parts from. The tip section tends to stick when collapsing so I fear the replacement tip will break as well.

Very nice setup for 1/4 of the price of competition.

I'm completely new to fly fishing as well as Tenkara fly fishing. This complete kit made by the company Tenkara is everything you need to get started fly fishing. It even includes a selection of flies so you can pack up this fly rod and head out to your local trout stream. It's well constructed and my favorite feature is how small this packs down. It's easy to pack it each time into the included case. You can even pack up the rod with the fly attached so you can be ready to fish at a moments notice. I wanted this kit for hike and bike in fishing, and for that purpose it's suiting me well so far. It even fits into my cycling hydration pack and I barely notice it when I'm mountain biking to my local fishing hole.

I really liked compact package of this tenkara combo. The telescopic rod is seemed to be well made and light weight. The combo includes everything you need to start fishing, although for the price could include a better quality components. The line included, I had trouble casting to stretch the leader. It’s just pile up at the end. Line and leader has to be fine tuned to get a well casting setup. Extra tip is o clouded, which is a plus. Overall, it’s a good, compact traveling combo and I will have it with me anywhere I go fishing just in case when fly fishing opportunity presents itself.

Got as a gift and was broken. Of course it’s now outside of the return window. Do not purchase.

Never had one so not sure. Looks and assembles well. You get extra end pieces which is nice. Now the reason for the 3 stars is this, all the extras you get, seem extremely low quality. You take one look and figure if your going to try to learn tenkara that the rod is up to snuff. But, all the extra stuff is a waste of time. So you will spend more money.
