Quick take
A graphite tenkara rod with three interchangeable lengths for tight streams or open water.
This tenkara rod collapses to a single piece for packing and zooms between 8, 9.6 and 11 feet, so one rod covers brushy creeks and more open water. The shortest setting stiffens up a little, which helps when steering fish close to cover. It comes with a hard case and sock and has a cork handle, a good fit for backpackers and young anglers working small trout streams.
