Sakasa Kebari

Presentation: The Sakasa Kebari is typically fished with a tenkara rod, using a technique where the fly is presented delicately on the water surface or slightly submerged to imitate a struggling insect.
Depth and drift: Adjust your casting and drift to present the fly naturally in the current. The soft hackle provides movement that can entice trout to strike.

What a fantastic small water rod. Packs down TINY

There's no reason not to have this rod with you everywhere you go. The super soft action make it deadly accurate for bow/slingshot casts in tight areas. This is without a doubt my favorite rod for tiny flies.. #18-#22 flies that have no weight to them. The action is predictable/intuitive enough, and the overall length short enough that I was teaching my 8 and 9 year old daughters how to cast with it. I love the colors. The turquoise and coral are reminiscent of the representation of the sea and the land in native southwestern jewelry. I love this little rod. It's always setup and ready to go so I can fish at the most inappropriate of times and get side eyed by the jealous. What a solid addition to a fantastic lineup of rods. Also - the care kit with the Zimmerbilt fanny pack. No brainer. You're ready to fish out of the box. Beautiful stickers, handwritten thank you, great customer support.

Rocky MTN Compa Tenkara rod kit with ZimmerBuilt Pack

Not too hot.. not too cold.. juuust right

This rod is in the Goldilocks zone for me. Not too long, not too short, not too stiff, not too soft.. the softer action makes casting simple with level line, and beautiful with something heavier. The rod itself is gorgeous and durable. The satin black with gold accents makes this one of the most esthetically handsome rods I've seen so far in the Tenkara realm.

This rod is so well rounded, that I gifted it to my father for his first Tenkara rod, and now I need to buy another one because I miss mine.

My girlfriend‘s favorite hat

My girlfriend hardly ever wears hats. She has never been able to find one that she could wear, for long periods of time, that didn’t hurt her head. One day, when we were driving with the windows down, she borrowed my hat to keep the hair out of her face. She loved the hat so much and said it was so comfortable, it’s the most comfortable hat she’s ever worn, that I had to buy her one just to get mine back.

Rocky MTN Tenkara Hat

Amazing !!!

I never heard of Rocky Mountain Tenkara until watching a Skiddy fishing video and decided to order the Rio. The rod arrived packaged securely. When I opened it it has a nice thank you note, some stickers and the rod. The rod case is very nice aesthetically and protects the rod. The rod sock is nice and has a Velcro closure. I took the rod out and it’s absolutely beautiful and looks like it would cost a lot more than it does. The rod has some heft and feels like it’s robust and can take some abuse. It reminds me of wasatch rods a little. It cast beautiful and feels nice with a small fish on it. I didn’t catch anything big but I have no doubt it can handle large fish. I’m glad I found this company. I will be buying more from Rocky Mountain Tenkara and really am happy I found them. Don’t hesitate and buy this rod.

Rocky MTN RIO (Rod Kit only)

Absolutely great customer service

I got the Chupacabra as a great 10.5'-12' zoom rod as a workhorse option for my larger streams and small rivers I focus on. So glad I went Rocky Mountain Tenkara as I know I have made not only a great purchase but got the opportunity I feel to have made a great friend going forward. I know there are alot of good Tenkara rods out there but if you don't look at Rocky Mountain Tenkara your missing out.

Rocky MTN "Chupacabra" Tenkara rod only

Great stuff!

Fished the #6 level today. I used a 4.0m/13' rod with an 18' line and 4' of 5x tippet. The line cast great and easily handled a variety of fly types and sizes.

Great sensitivity as each strike was telegraphed both visually and tactilely.

Visibility is outstanding! If you have problems maintaining visual contact with your line, especially across a range of backgrounds, this is the line for you. It was a good day to test it because I fished through a wide range of light conditions starting off with early morning low light conditions, moving to bright afternoon sun, and had a couple periods of gray overcast and in each situation the multi colored pattern on this line jumped out of the back ground. It was almost like having a 18' strike indicator!

Definitely has earned a permanent place in my quiver of lines.

River Peak two color level line

Great level line!

I ordered this line in a 4 as I find it easier to cast and have never had a fish report that they could see it easier then a 3.5. The sunline level line is easy to see even with my decreasing eyesight and I have no problem casting it with a delicate fly presentation. This is a very good product and you can buy with confidence! Also Rocky Mountain Tenkara has been very responsive to questions and ships fast, I will definitely be ordering from them in the future.

Rocky MTN "Chico" Care Package

Creek Monster Rod

I purchased the Chico looking for a shorter, faster action rod for targeting relatively large fish in tight quarters. In the first couple weeks I have landed numerous cutthroat in the 11-13in range as well as a surprise 14in brown. The Chico has performed wonderfully in these situations. I am able to get quick, solid hooksets that have drastically reduced the amount of branches I smack or fling my fly into. I often utilize a bow cast in these creeks and find that with a little practice the Chico excels at shooting my flies into those hard to reach spaces. As others have mentioned the stiffer action means this rod works quite well with nymphs and weighted flies.

"The Chico" 7/8/9 ft. Zoom (Rod Kit only)

great small stream rod

I was very pleased with the action of the rod; it performed well for tight-quarters winter nymph fishing and I'm sure it'll perform well under other conditions.

Haven’t had a chance to try it out, weather not allowing, check back when spring rolls around. Other than that I like the looks and feel of the rod

Best people to work with

Everything from Rocky Mountain Tenkara has been great. Working with the owners has been a great help with just getting started with the fishing style. They went over all the different lines and flys. Can’t wait tell spring comes.
