Product Description
Tenkara USA Fly Fishing ITO™ Rod, for Large Fish & Wider Streams - Longest Rod - Carbon Fiber, Lightweight, Telescopic, Adjustable, 2 Multi-Lengths (13' / 14'7")
- OUR LONGEST TENKARA ROD: Extend your reach with the ITO, Tenkara USA’s longest rod. Fish it at 13' or extend it to 14'7" for exceptional range and control on wider streams, larger rivers, and ponds.
- TWO LENGTHS, MORE POSSIBILITIES: The adjustable Zoom design lets you quickly switch between 13' and 14'7". Fish it shorter when you want more maneuverability, then extend it when extra reach gives you the advantage.
- MADE FOR OPEN WATER: Longer reach helps keep more line off the water for better control and drag-free presentations. The ITO is our go-to recommendation for anglers who regularly fish wider streams, larger rivers, and ponds.
- LIGHT IN HAND, BUILT WITH BACKBONE: At just 4.1 oz, the ITO is designed to feel remarkably light for its length while still providing the backbone to take on larger fish. A premium 12" cork handle provides a comfortable, balanced feel.
- LIFETIME TENKARA CARE GUARANTEE: Fish with confidence knowing your Tenkara USA rod is backed by our Lifetime Tenkara Care Guarantee and a responsive team of tenkara anglers committed to helping keep you on the water.
Special Features:
The Ito features an innovative "zoom" function, which allows the angler to lock one segment in place to fish the rod either at 13ft (390 cm) length or, fully extended, at 14 ft. 7 in. (450 cm). The zoom locks both at the butt of the rod with a proprietary cap, and at the end of the handle segment. This is by far the most versatile rod Tenkara offers.
Action & Fish Size: The Ito is classified as medium action (due to where it bends when given a shake) but is a softer rod and was designed for your average 8 in. - 16 in. mountain stream trout.
Best line matches: Rod works very well with 3.5 level line up to 25ft. Works well with traditional line. And, can be fished well with 4.5 tenkara level line.
