Zen Tenkara Suzume Tri-Zoom 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 it in some cases. The equipment of the original tenkara professional fishermen was simple: rods made of bamboo, lines made of twisted horsehair, the simplest artificial flies made of natural materials. Tenkara is usually fished only in the upper reaches of a river, where the water surface is not too large and small pockets are formed between the stones. During fishing the rod is held so steeply that only the leader and the fly touch the water surface. By short fast casts the fly can be held precisely in the different pockets of the stream, exactly where the salmonids are waiting for insects. Tenkara is an exciting fishery where the experience of nature is paramount.

The Zen Tenkara Suzume Rod, in English sparrow is like the bird a very adaptable tenkara rod. Because the Suzume Tri-Zoom can be fished on three different lengths. From 7.7ft, to 9.3 ft, to 10.8ft. So you think the whole world of tenkara fishing with one rod, from high alpine stream fishing to big trout in the lower river. And you shouldn't forget a nymph, because the 10.8ft also lends itself wonderfully to offering a nymph as in modern Euro-nymphing. The Suzume is an extremely fine tenkara with a medium fast action, a light swing is enough to load the rod and re-present the twisted leader including the fly. So you can cast and fish very effectively the small hiding places of trout. The double conical cork convinces with an extreme comfort while fishing and the double shape not only ensures that everyone finds his own sweet-point, but also that the rod is optimally balanced in all three positions. So fishing with the fine, sensitive Tenkara rod is just fun. And if, on the other hand, you prefer a fast action, you can easily swap the tip of the Suzume with the Performance tip from Zen Tenkara. Simply unscrew the cap below the handle, remove the conical tip section and replace it with the extremely fast Performance Tip.

The Tenkara Suzume is a fine all-around tenkara rod that can be fished at three different lengths, covering everything from small streams to large rivers. The collapsed rod is just 53 cm, so it will fit in almost any backpack to add a few casts to your pocket stream hike.
