I'm a terrible fisherman, but tenkara style fishing is the only type I've had any success in. I went fishing in Osaka, Japan one day using a bamboo stick as a rod and nylon string for fishing line and caught 20 rainbow trout in about 2.5 hrs. I'm excited to try out a more... elegant rod for this type of fishing.

Hi, I got in on the drop and plan to use this backpacking. Those of you who have experience doing this, are you using the sack or the hard shell case when you backpack? Does anyone know the weights on both of them? Thanks.

Have just received the mini-sawtooth. Haven't have the chance yet to try it out but very tempted to pick up the sawtooth as a larger river/open water edition... why is this cheaper than the mini? Is it due to it's easier production?

What is your return policy if I am not happy with it?

Is this the best deal (sawtooth/teton) we have seen on Massdrop for this pull (5 year anniversary) or is it the same each time it has been available?

We are looking for a simple rig to fish from our SUP boards on desert and canyon lakes in AZ. Is this 12.5' rod appropriate, I love the Tenkara idea but was contemplating just setting up my flyrods with a similar no-reel line? Thanks in advance.

Matthias_LambertYou can but the whole idea with Tenkara and the longer rods is the ability to keep the entire line off the water, like in high stick nymphing. The rod actions are entirely different that a western setup. I fish both western and Tenkara. Tenkara in the small mountain streams is so effective due to it's very nature. No line to mend. I'll take it backpacking when I know I will be near a small mountain stream. My entire fishing kit rod, lines, tippet, flies, nippers, forceps is under 8 ounces. I can catch fish in the high country for fun or for dinner.

I've been meaning to get into fishing for a long time and was wondering if this would be a good place to start? I've did a bit of research and am really into the simplicity of it but as i would be going out with my 7 year old, should we just get some cheap western style, reel, rods?

Thanks for this, I think I'll be joining for this as the price is fantastic compared to the other ones.

theconejoMy brother has two of these Sawtooth rods and he loves them. I generally go the Japanese route when I'm buying my Tenkara rods. We have fished Tenkara style in the driftless areas of Minnesota and Wisconsin, tributaries of the Gallatin, Madison and Yellowstone in Montana (we fished the Gallatin and caught fish there also), small streams in New Mexico and in September we'll be heading to Idaho. We haven't had a need to use western rigs or spinning rods.

I'm super excited to learn how to fish with my new tenkara rod. ingad a conversation with someone about these rods 7/8 years ago when I was car camping. Now that I've backpacked hundreds of miles. I'm excited to add this little golden ticket to my multi-day trips so I can fish for myself.
Does anyone know of an effective knife I can use for boning/fileting that's also solid for backpacking? So I can field strip and filet my catch? But so I'm also not bringing an actual filet knife that has no other purpose?
