Tenkara USA Ebisu Fly Rod ten005,

The Tenkara USA Ebisu Fly Rod features a unique Red-Pine handle, a very high quality wood that is light-weight, durable and water resistant. This beautiful wood has very fine grain and rays that flows in the same direction as the rod. The Ebisu has a very short handle, which makes it feel more "delicate" and great in the hands. The wood handle is a great addition to a fishing rod that you will feel proud of. These rods are mid-weight tenkara rods, and the action right on the mark at 5:5.

Features of Tenkara USA Ebisu Fly Rod:

• Tenkara rods are ultra-portable, very lightweight and will telescope into a mere 20 inches or so, which makes them excellent for backpacking while remaining efficient for fishing most streams. All tenkara rods are appropriate for small stream angling - in other words, you really can't go wrong with your choice. Each rod has distinct characteristics. The Yamame is a heavier rod ideal for those consistently catching fish over 16". The Ayu and Ebisu rods are in the mid-weight range; the 13ft Ayu provides some extra reach, and the 12ft Ebisu has very unique and durable red-pine handle. The Iwana rod is the lightest and perfect for the smaller streams and smaller fish and weight-conscious backpackers or those who want the lightest feeling rod. The action of tenkara rods is defined as a ratio that indicates how many "bottom parts are stiffer : tip parts are more flexible". Rod action should be chosen based on personal preference for more flexible or stiffer rods, and size of fish targeted. For example, a 5:5 rod for slower casting and smaller fish, a 7:3 rod for larger fish.
