Our Story
In 2007, Daniel discovered tenkara while researching the history and culture of fishing in Japan. In 2008, he visited Japan for his first time and saw tenkara in person. He returned to the US with a tenkara rod in his bag and started enjoying tenkara on backpacking trips. The method was simple and effective; yet, there was no information in English on tenkara. Daniel decided he wanted to share tenkara with people, it would make it easy for people to take-up fly-fishing and experienced anglers like himself were sure to enjoy its minimalist nature. He realized that to share tenkara he could have written many articles and books about it, but if people didn’t get a chance to experience tenkara for themselves it would not spread. Thus, Daniel set out to create a business designing tenkara rods, tenkara lines and tenkara flies and putting them in the hands of people.

This a very versatile Tenkara rod that can be used on small streams and medium sized rivers. High quality materials with great warranty.

Just got it in the mail and the booklet was not included?

I mainly bought this kit for the line holder. I found out quickly that I absolutely HATE the line holder. It’s a pain to unstring the line. It sure would be nice to have a better center point to put your finger when unwinding it. Everything else in the kit was ok, but definitely not worth that much money.

Forceps are poorly made. Very disappointed.

The Keeper was sold out on both Amazon and Tenkara USA, so I bought one from Dakota Angler. This piece of equipment is amazing for Tenkara fishing. It makes deploying your line fast and tangle free. I keep a spare fly attached to some tippet and secured to the opposite side of my Tenkara line so that I can easily swap out flies if needed. Anyway, it's a great buy and a strong investment-you won't regret it.
