Tenkara USA Hane Fly Rod
Length:  10’10”

The Hane (pronounced like “huh – nay”) is a super compact all-around tenkara rod that will quickly become your favorite adventure rod. Measuring just under 15 inches when collapsed, but extending to 10ft 10in (330cm), the Hane fits nicely inside a small day pack, making this a superb tenkara rod for backpacking, bikefishing and other adventures. Whether you are targeting trout or bass, the Hane was designed to work well in your mountain streams as well as your urban fishing outings. It’s a rod that can tag along in a variety of conditions without compromising durability.
We decided to make this rod white, a unique color among our lineup. Part of the reason for that is the idea of having a rod that will blend in well with open skies above. Whereas a black rod does a good job blending in with canopy, its movement tends to stand out when fishing ponds and open meadow streams. The tip of the rod is black

Shop Staff Notes:  The Hane is TenkaraUSA’s newest rod in their line up and the only rod that has an EVA handle and not cork. It’s been designed as a pack rod which fit’s super well in a daypack or strapped to a bike frame making it super easy to bring with you wherever you go. It is shorter than most of their tenkara rods and it does have a little more oomph than say, the Iwana or Sato or Ito. That’s not to say you won’t enjoy catching small trout with the Hane, it’s still a tenkara rod and super fun playing fish of any size.
