New tenkara rod for backpackers
In collaboration with Backpacking Light, Tenkara USA has designed a tenkara rod specifically for the backpacking community. At 9' 10" extended and only 16" collapsed it is enough shorter than the existing tenkara rods on the market that the difference will be appreciated by anglers fishing small, brushy creeks and the ultralight backpacker for whom every inch and every ounce counts. The new rod, named Hane (Japanese for "feather") weighs 2.7 ounces, about on par with the lightest tenkara rods available. The action is 7:3, which should make crisp, accurate casts close in, but which ought to provide enough muscle to handle a longer line if you need a little extra reach on a pond or larger pool. You'd probably want to carry several lines of different lengths.
I'm not a backpacker, and the streams I fish aren't so brushy that I would need a rod that short, so I do not think I'll be getting one, but for some anglers it might be just what they are looking for.
