Fantastic rod with plenty of backbone.
"Great rod for bigger fish, but also fun for smaller fish. The rod is a little heavy, but is very stout. Fishes well at the 12' length for smaller fish, and easy to zoom when you need the extra leverage."

"Great rod that fit the gap I had perfectly. Been alot of fun to fish."
"Great for adaptive fishing!"
"Customer service is non-existent. I’ve tried so hard, for a few years, to keep my rod up and running. At this point, since there is 0 customer support, it’s no better than trash. Buyer beware- they will take your money, and only that. Good luck if you need repair/warranty."
"There was a resin glob in two spots at the base of the rod. I took pictures, contacted you, and was told to wipe with soap and water. To repeat from then, you can’t get the resin off at all. I can still use the rod, but I expected more. I haven’t used the rod yet. I hope this is the only issue."
"Second Tenkara rod purchased. Very happy with quality of the Rocky (and previously the Sawtooth. Imagine the Rocky would fish well but haven’t tried it. Ordered full kit in December and still waiting to receive the line, flies etc. Have emailed repeatedly and feel like I’m getting nowhere. Maybe this will get some attention. Happy to amend to 5 stars when I receive what I paid for. It’s more than an issue of principle. It’s impossible to get furled lines or any Tenkara gear in Australia. Use the rods for freshwater bass and saltwater species. Look forward to using the Rocky. Please resolve this 😁"
"So far, I’m impressed with my Rocky! I’ve landed several large fish with it and it’s been no problem with this beast of a rod. Plenty of backbone to it and I like the extra length. Paired with a long 16’ line, it’s a great combo!"
"The rod is cool. Caught some little guys the first time out. Too bad the company’s customer service is trash. Tried for 2 days to call and message and email the company. Paid for next day air so I could have in time for a trip. Ever arrived until after my trip. Finally got my shipping cost refunded. Had it not been for the poor service initially I’d be a fan of the rod. I hate to think what will happen if I have to send it for any repairs. Maybe it will have to be a wall hanger. Rod though, very nice. Easy setup and get fishing right away. Definitely buy the payette paste. You will need that to treat your line for dry fly fishing."
"Love the rod! Been enjoying my introduction to Tenkara fishing. My only problem is that one of my first outing my fly line flew right off the Lilian so I double knotted it now I can’t get it to come undone so I can’t take the whole rod apart to clean it."
"Interesting rod and useful for bigger fish. I have been fishing it for Bass, Carp, Pike, Panfish, and others here in the upper Midwest and it's been fun. With that, it does take a toll and isn't the best casting rod you will hold in your hand. Line selection seems to be pretty key and I often find myself reverting back to the Beartooth (for comfort and accuracy) unless I know it's going to be a problem. Will take the Rocky with me to Idaho later this summer and likely hit some of the reservoirs and other bigger water in the southeastern part of the state. For now, it's been fished in a variety of urban settings and I don't have a ton of complaints. I like it with my longer lines, but as with my other reviews, the struggle with Tenkara Rod Co's lack of customer service continues to compromise my experience and erode my enthusiasm for the brand."
