The Tenkara rod has a long and proud history dating back over 200 years to the mist-covered mountain passes and alpine streams of 17^th century Japan.

Originally made of bamboo, the Tenkara rod is ideally suited for fast-flowing mountain streams and alpine lakes, both in Japan and throughout the world.

Today, Tenkara rods are made from carbon fiber, a material that faithfully replicates the lightweight feel and flexibility that characterized the early bamboo originals. 

Here at Maxcatch, each of our Tenkara rods are forged from super lightweight IM10/30T+40T Japanese Toray carbon fiber with a Helical core, ensuring optimal performance with every cast.
