Tenkara Rod Co Sawtooth Package

Simplicity was key on this mission, so bringing along the best fishing gear possible while consuming the least amount of space was crucial. The Tenkara Rod Co Sawtooth Package was spot on for the mission.

Fully extended, this rod reaches out to 12’ in length and packs down to 20”. It takes the featherweight category at a minimal 3.2oz. The rod is one of Tenkara Rod Co’s more playful at a 5:5 action, but that didn’t stop me from landing a fatty 16” rainbow trout at Edna Lake. The hand-crafted line is 10.5’, non-tapered and single stranded with a 3mm nickel alloy tippet ring.

The kit includes three traditional Tenkara flies. A bumblebee fly was the hot ticket for this trip, second place was a simple black ant. This is a great looking rod especially when the tip is arched so far it is nearly touching the water due to the fighting fish below.
