What is tenkara?

Tenkara is the simplest form of fly fishing — no reel, just a rod, line, and fly. Perfect for beginners and ultralight enthusiasts.

Is the Backpackr Rod right for me?

Short answer: absolutely. If you want one rod that can do it all. Tight creeks, alpine lakes, and everything in between the Backpackr was built for you. With its triple-zoom design (10'10", 11'10", and 12'10") and ultra-compact pack length of just 13.5 inches collapsed, it’s the most versatile and travel-ready rod we’ve ever made. At well under 3 oz, it delivers smooth, accurate casts across multiple lengths without sacrificing feel. Add the Full Kit, toss it in your pack, and you’re ready to fish anywhere adventure takes you.

Absolutely one of the best rods!

"This rod is amazing! It packs so small, is able to handle large trout, fish small spaces and handles outstanding! By far one of the best rods on the market!"

— Gerald R. (5/5)

Great backpacking rod but also

"Great backpacking rod but also likely great when I am not backpacking. (I have only used it on the trail so far). Telescopes down to around 15 inches, super lightweight. I can be fishing in 5 minutes. looking forward to using it often."

— James D. (5/5)

Rod Is Great

"Caught trout in both Wyoming and the High Sierras. Can’t beat the convenience of a packable rod that fits in most backpacks and barely weighs anything. Free accessories add extra value. Very satisfied."

— Micah P. (5/5)

I bought two backpackr and

"I bought two backpackr and Kenora kits for My wife and I. They’ve been great for Northern river fishing and when one rod section did break, customer service was phenomenal and sent a new rod section the next day."

— Greyson T. (5/5)

“Look at that guy… doing zen fishing?”

"Love the rod, portability, zooming lengths, customer service responsiveness, everything has been great. Like Mike Jones, every time I hit the stream, I be turning heads."

— Tucker (5/5)

Great Customer Service

"Replacing a broken rod, the customer service was very helpful in recommending a new rod and guided me through the process as to what would work best for my applications and needs."

Backpackr rod rocks!

"Received the backpackr rod along with flies and bag. Long time customer. Just went fishing a while ago and caught a few blue gill almost immediately. The backpackr is amazing. 👍👍"

— Anthony B. (5/5)

It's in the name!

"Great rod for backpacking / hiking, especially here in Colorado! The tenkara setup makes dropping a line easy as can be and the different zoom lengths help adjust from tight streams up to open alpine lakes. I'm just getting into fly fishing and this is a great way to start out that keeps things fun!"

— Garrett C. (5/5)

Compact, great action, sturdy rod

"Just received my Backpackr in the mail and took it out. The extensions slid in/out well, it feels very light in hand, yet sturdy. Casting was a breeze, I was able to consistently land a dry fly and wolly bugger where I wanted it at all 3 lengths. So happy I made this purchase, it feels much better than the other Tenkara rods I've used from other companies that either were too fragile or casting was a challenge. This is definitely my go to for creeks, mid-size rivers, and lakes!"
