“Just gives you that additional reach when you need it, fantastic telescopic rod and goes completely well with my Tenkara backpack both the Sato and the Ito have me covered for any situation.”

“This rod is amazing. I’ve had nothing but good experiences with it. I love the 14’7” option. I find myself using my Ito more than my regular fly rod because it’s more convenient and it can pretty much pull in fish in the same places as well. Also the length helps with presentation a lot.”
I like using my tenkara gear to catch:Medium size fish (12-16" / 30-40cm)
I like using my tenkara rod in:Larger streams or rivers
Wide river (Potomac) mostly and wider creeks, some lakes with dams.
Really a great product, thoughtfully designed and packaged. The kit makes the buying process (and decision fatigue!) easy. Thank you.

Have had the Ito out an a few trips so far, the more I fish this rod the more I'm liking the reach when extended. I like to choke up on the handle with my thumb and forefinger touching the blank, gives me more casting feel and the rod is balanced and feels lighter. The rod cast light #2-2.5 level lines 5-6m long with ease and I have no doubt will handle longer lines and larger water and fish while being a lot of fun catching 6-12" trout on the smaller streams I fish.

I have never been disappointed with a Tenkara rod. Or any product from Tenkara USA. I most recently bought the Ito and at 13 feet it is so easy to cast and feels great. At 14 it’s a little slower but great for that extra reach. I cannot recommend the Ito or any product from this company enough!

I like using my tenkara rod in:Mountain streams, Backpacking and remote waters
Small to medium streams
The extra length is almost never a hinderance in fishing from my experience, but I also have a rhodo so I usually take that one on very tight cover and the ito for everything else
