Zen Tenkara Suimenka Zoom Dual Action Rod Tenkara Rod
The first Tenkara anglers around two to three hundred years ago were professional fishermen who either fed their own families with their catch or sold part of it. The equipment of the original Tenkara professional fishermen was simple: rods made of bamboo, lines made of twisted horsehair, and the simplest artificial flies made from natural materials. In Tenkara, fishing is mostly done in the upper reaches of a river, where the water surface is not too large and small pockets form between the stones. While fishing, the rod is held so steeply that only the leader and the fly touch the water surface. With short, quick casts, the fly can be precisely placed in the different pockets of the stream, exactly where the salmonids are waiting for insects. Tenkara is an exciting type of fishing where the nature experience is at the forefront.
The Zen Tenkara Suimenka Zoom Dual Action Rod Tenkara Rod is a brilliant combination of a dry fly rod and a nymph rod! This innovation expands the scope of this Tenkara rod immensely. The dry fly tip can be fished at 9 ft or 11 ft, and the nymph tip can be fished at lengths of 10 ft or 12 ft. Changing the tip is extremely simple; you just need to unscrew the end cap on the rod handle and switch the tips. In addition to the different lengths, the two tips also have different actions, providing a perfect bending curve for each specific application. This means you can quickly switch between a dry fly rod and a nymph rod even at the water, all with one Tenkara rod! Furthermore, the Suimenka features a high-quality, 29 cm long, ergonomically shaped handle that is also ideally suited for both types of fishing.

Zen Tenkara was founded in 2012 by Karin Miller in Colorado out of fascination and passion for this traditional style of fishing. Zen revolutionizes this method of fixed line fly fishing and is known for creating a "fusion" of traditional fly fishing and tenkara fishing to catch not only small, traditional tenkara species, but also large, powerful fish not normally associated with this ancient Japanese method. Karin Miller, who remains at the helm of Zen Tenkara, has earned a reputation for being extremely innovative and pushing boundaries with her high-performance tenkara rods.
