Something to consider for Tenkara beginners, the shorter the rod, the shorter your range, even in small streams. I know some will be tempted to fish a shorter rod and add a longer line/tippet, but if you do this you will be finding it much more difficult to land fish and cast accurately. Always fish the longest rod you can in any situation. (which is also comfortable for you to wield) This is a good rod for tight, overgrown streams.
Edit (Added from below comment for clarity.)
Note: I should point out that once anglers have familiarized themselves with casting, and landing fish, especially the latter, you can move up to longer line lengths on shorter rods. I just wouldn't do it initially. Honestly a lot of this stuff is personal preference. Some people find it easier to cast longer lines, but landing fish is more difficult on longer lines, and I would say that is much closer to a fact than an opinion.

lobsterEssentially it will be less than the rod length + line/tippet. It is dependent largely on how you choose to hold the rod post-cast. Ideally the rod is positioned close to your body, and pointing upwards on a steep angle both for comfort and hook sets. So you will not be getting the full length of the rod, and because the tip is up the line will obviously not be fully extended as well. So, if you can picture that with a smaller rod, your range will be smaller than you might initially imagine. Of course you can choose to extend your arm out, and lower the rod to try and drift further out, but I can tell you from experience your arm will get tired, even on smaller rods. In this scenario, depending on where you hold the rod, and what length of line/tipper you settle on, I don't think 16ft is unreasonable to assume.

Edit: Oh and I forgot one of the most important advantages of using a shorter line, being able to keep all of your line out of the water! That's the entire idea behind Tenkara, the ability to get great drifts by keeping only the tippet and fly down in the strike zone and not worrying about mending or spooking the fish with your line.

I already have the Teton. I bought this one for tighter conditions. This is a great price!

shorter rods don't mean beginner rods. you pick the length of the rod based on what type of area you're fishing. large open areas tend to do better with longer rods. shorter rods tend to do better with more enclosed/tree overhang spaces. really, it's about what you're fishing. ultimately, with higher levels of skill, you'll probably end up with a short rod and a longer 12'+ rod since you'll be fishing a greater variety of areas.

You know...i'm not certain. But I doubt it just based on how I imagine they'd extend. Plus there wouldn't be any real flexibility which you need to cast a fly without the full length...

stmckaythey really aren't designed to be used as multi-length telescoping rods

Yes and no. You can collapse one or two bottom segments to shorten it, but the dynamics of the rod will be off and they'll rattle around - generally not a great idea. Many companies now produce "zoom" rods that are made to fish at two or three different lengths - they're engineered to secure the collapsed segments, while providing good performance. It can certainly add some flexibility to your game. Not trying to advertise for anyone specific, but check out the Tenkara USA and Tenkara Bum websites and you'll see what I mean. Good luck.

no they are designed to be fully telescoped to transfer the torque effectively. thank about grabbing a standard rod above the handle in a fight, transferring that force up the rod is gonna cause it to snap. i speak from experience on that last one.

This is one of their shorter rods, almost like a beginner package. This length would be best suited for smaller streams fishing for brook trout or something like that. They do mention that the shorter size would be good for kids to learn on...so I'd think that would apply to any beginner as well...I'm tempted, but I think I want one a tad longer...but this is a great price for that package.

stmckayok, well if i'm going to spend a bunch of money, than I'd want something that would last me from beginner to higher levels of skill. Maybe I'll wait for another one.
