The Tenkara USA Sato™ is a compact and lightweight (2.9oz) adjustable tenkara rod that can be fished at 3 lengths: 10'8", 11'10", and 12'9" (3.25m - 3.9m). It's shortest length is perfect for tight streams, and its full length is perfect for the big open pool that you just came up on. The Sato is named after Mr. Ernest Satow, an avid mountaineer who was the first known person to make a written record of tenkara.
The Sato™ has two patent-pending features:
Triple-zoom: this allows you to use the rod at three different lengths - 10’8”/ 11’10”/12’9” (330/360/390cm). The average length for a tenkara rod is 12ft long, Tenkara USA recommends rods that are closer to 13ft, yet many people are intimidated by such long lengths for rods intended for smaller streams. Ideally, these three lengths make this rod even more versitile: short to ease you into tenkara, medium to give you a taste of the advantages presented by a long tenkara rod, and long to help you take full advantage of the tenkara method.
Keep your Plug™ system (patent pending): This is the most exciting, simple, yet innovative feature. After hearing that no one has ever been able to keep their tenkara rod plug for longer than a year, Tenkara USA decided they should find a solution for you to never lose your plug again. Introducing the “Keep your plug”™ system. Next time you go fishing, remove the plug from the top end of your rod and insert it into the hole at the bottom of your rod. The Sato™ will come with two plugs on the rod; please leave one at home in case you ever need it.
