Designed off of a Japanese fly-fishing style not commonly used in the West, simplicity is at the heart of tenkara fishing. And its what has inspired this full package that has everything you need to start fly fishing right out of the box. The Teton fishing rod is a flexible, lightweight rod that won’t tangle easily and doesn’t require a reel to function. It's best suited for catching trout in the 6- to 18-inch range, but is also capable of landing larger fish. At full length, the rod measures 12 feet with 9 segments, but can collapse down to just 20 inches—which makes it ideal for travel or camping. The 6:4 action means that is flexes a bit less than the more playful Sawtooth rod.
