The Ukiyo™ encapsulates Tenkara USA's commitment to portability and sensitivity in one ultra-compact rod. At just under 15 inches when closed, it seamlessly fits into any day pack, making it the perfect companion for those far-reaching mountain stream adventures.
With an extended length of 9’9” (300cm) and a weight of only 2 ounces, this rod is tailor-made for small-stream fishing without the usual heft.
A unique feature, the Ukiyo boasts a graphite swell grip, a first in our line-up, designed to elevate the angler's experience. This, combined with our signature high-modulus graphite, ensures unmatched sensitivity. Every gentle bite, every subtle movement in the water can be felt more directly, making every catch feel all the more personal.
Another hallmark feature we're introducing with the Ukiyo is our patented “Keep-your-plug” system, a feature previously reserved for our adjustable rods. It’s all about convenience, ensuring you never misplace your rod plug during those intense fishing sessions.
And, much like our other rods, aesthetics haven't taken a back seat. The Ukiyo's sections flaunt a mesmerizing royal blue finish, echoing its premium stature in our line-up.
In many ways, the Ukiyo is reminiscent of our popular Rhodo rod, but its emphasis on lightness, compactness, and the integral graphite grip that sets it apart. Compared to our also very compact Hane rod, the Ukiyo is lighter in weight, action, and features the more sensitive graphite swell grip as well as our keep our plug system. It's even more compact at 14.5" closed length and a 9.85' opened length.Perfect for the angler who's looking for the next step in tenkara fishing.
What makes this rod special? It is the lightest and most compact rod we've ever offered. The first rod we've offered has an integral graphite grip section.
