We Wanted a Rod
That Goes
Everywhere

It started with a feeling we kept having. You're out on a bike ride and you pass a stretch of water that just looks fishy. Or you've got 20 minutes before you need to be somewhere and there's a creek right there. But your rod is at home.

We've been making tenkara rods for 13 years. We know how to build a serious rod. So we asked ourselves: what's the most portable, fishable rod we could make? Not a toy. Not a gimmick. A real rod that collapses to 12 inches.

The Anytimer deploys to 10 feet in under 30 seconds. It weighs less than 2 ounces. It fits in a jacket pocket, a backpack side pocket, a glove box. It's the rod you actually have with you when the moment shows up.
