WHAT ANGLERS ARE SAYING

I truly enjoy everything about it

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

“I truly enjoy everything about this rod! I took this rod on a backcountry hunt with ease and used it in the San Juan river to unsuccessfully catch fish but thoroughly enjoy everything about it. I’m considering getting a rod for each of my fishing family members.”

Joshua W.

Perfect rod to keep with you!

THE SIERRA ROD

The Sierra Rod is our 10.5 ft. rod. It has an incredibly soft flex and amazing feel to it. We designed it with smaller water in mind. When casting is tight and you need something small and agile, this is the rod. The Sierra is one of our funnest rods because of how light and flexible it is. The rod comes with a 10.5 ft. line which really allows you to keep the rod tip high and your line off the water for precise presentations. And the action of this rod gives you so much feel throughout the entire rod. You have to see it for yourself to believe how much fun it is.

Is the Sierra rod right for you?

Short answer: probably, yes. If you fish creeks or small-to-medium streams and want less rigging and more casting, the Sierra was built for you. At 10.5 ft and about 2.8 oz, it collapses to ~20″ and delivers forgiving, accurate casts in tight cover. its one of our most popular rods for good reason, its fun!

Sierra Simple

"Took my new Sierra rod out for a hike in the Eastern Sierra for some small lake fishing. The wind was not super helpful, but I did get a chance to get some casting practice in and get a feel for this new technique. The starter kit was super helpful getting the rod setup. I recommend following the opening and closing instructions EXACTLY as prescribed. I got jammed up putting things away in a hurry but was able to clear it through the butt end. Can't wait to go again. Everything feels well made and so ready to travel!"

— Jeffrey S. (5/5)

Happy with what I got, but didn’t get everything I ordered

"The rod is supposed to come with line a spool and a little box of flies. That didn’t come with my order. I also got a kebari kit thinking then I could have two fly boxes and two spools of line but they didn’t send me the full order"

— Elliott J. (3/5)

Sierra Rod

"Excellent packability! Great concept! Limits your ability to fish larger streams and rivers. Catching fish with this takes some practice."

— Glenn G. (3/5)

Sierra Rod - Love it!

"I’ve been using the Sierra rod for a couple of months and so far it’s been great. The rod packs down small and everything I need to catch fish fits right in the included mini pack. It couldn’t be easier to throw in the truck or a pack just in case. I brought it camping a few weeks ago and was catching wild rainbows right beside our campsite. I’ve loved getting the kids on it too. Overall I couldn’t be happier. Thanks! Note: I coated the included line in floatant paste for fishing dries and bought a second sink tip line for fishing nymphs and wet flies. This works well."

— Taylor M. (5/5)

simple set-up rod

"Love the Kebari kit bundle: light, easy to set up, caught a few trouts on my last backpacking trip. It reminds me of my childhood fishing on a river back in Vietnam."

— H N. (5/5)

Poor management

"Pole arrived without any usage instructions. While trying to extend pole small sections got stuck. Had to travel over 100 miles r/t to BassPro to get sections unstuck. PO’d"

— Ed H. (3/5)

Love it! Compact, easy to

"Love it! Compact, easy to swap lines, and a blast to fish with. I have caught more fish with this setup than any other pole I own. Plus, it's fun to talk about when people ask what kind of rod you are using 😀"

Is there really a lifetime warranty?

Yes. Accidents happen. But its really easy to replace a broken section on your rod with a new section.

How hard is it to learn Tenkara?

First timers can pick up the basics of casting on their first session.

Can I return it if it's not for me?

If you have an unused rod that you would like to return we do accept returns. Although we are pretty confident that if you go out to your local pond or river you will have a blast.

What comes with the rod?

Every rod includes everything you need to fish. The rod, rod sock and rod tube. As well as a line, 12 flies, a spool of tippet, and a line holder.
