Kongo Sekirei Tenkara Rod

A NEW TAKE ON AN ANCIENT ROD

TENKARA LEVEL: 2 - Ideal for intermediate and advanced anglers.

The Sekirei is a contemporary Tenkara rod that uses carbon material to recreate the behavior and feeling of bygone bamboo rods that were once loved by professional fishermen in the remote Yamato region of Japan.

It is extremely slender and has a soft demeanor, so it takes some getting used to, but once you master it, you will be able to open up a joyous and relaxed new feeling during your Tenkara sessions. 

The handle, carved from high-quality paulownia wood, is light, fits comfortably in your hand, and is more textured and supple than cork.

All Sakura rods are handmade in Japan. Sakura was founded in 1888, and even though the business was washed away twice by the same Edogawa river he fished from,  Great-grandfather Jisaburo Sakurai persevered and went on to become the inventor of now-standard fishing rods and techniques used worldwide. Nowadays, Sakura stands as a shining example of Japanese craftsmanship and the joy of sharing Japanese traditions like Tenkara with all who seek them out.
