CLASSIC TENKARA ROD: The SHADOWIRE is 12 ft long and 2.9 oz light. With 6:4 action and 8 segments, this fly fishing rod gives lots of play, but is strong enough to give an experienced angler a fighting chance against larger trout;

BACKPACKER FISHING FRIENDLY: The Rod collapses to 23.25 in, which makes it easy to fit into your backpack for fishing the backcountry, or as general purpose travel fishing rod.

THE STARTER PACKAGE INCLUDES: SHADOWFIRE 365 Tenkara Rod, Rod Cloth, Rod Tube, 3 Flies, 12.5 foot Furled Line (made by Moonlit Fly Fishing), 1 Foam Line Holders, and 27 yard spool of Tippet. The rod is a great choice for water where the fish are mostly under 18 inches. It can handle larger fish than 18 inches but it is designed for mid-sized fish. The soft casting action of this rod will help you cast more naturally and accurately. If you are using level line, you will want size #3 or #3.5 with this rod for best performance. The handle was designed to fit the hand more comfortably to reduce hand fatigue and to give you more casting control. You will more than likely be pleased with the feel of this rod handle. The matte black colour keeps the rod from reflecting the sun and possibly alerting the fish of your presence. Despite being matte black, this rod is very appealing to the eyes and has a quality finish. Although this rod is not necessarily designed as a big fish rod, it can get the job done if you have room to move. You are going to love this rod.
