Tenkara USA Yama Rod

The Yama distills the essence of tenkara into an ultra-compact, featherlight rod with an extended reach.

Inspired by our popular Ukiyo rod, the Yama offers the same high sensitivity and packability while extending your range with an 11 (335cm) length. Weighing in at just 2.1 ounces and collapsing down to 16 inches, its made for anglers who crave precision drifts in more open small and medium streams, without sacrificing portability.

The Yama is our second rod to feature the innovative textured swell grip a design praised by Ukiyo users for its lightness and heightened feel. Crafted with the same high-modulus graphite and minimalist profile, this grip is the lightest and most sensitive weve ever produced at this length, ensuring every subtle take is transmitted directly to your hand.

Like the Ukiyo, the Yama was born from our beloved Rhodo rod, but reimagined to offer more reach in a sleeker package. It brings the tenkara advantage into sharper focus allowing you to hold more line off the water and execute flawless drifts in clear, open mountain streams. Its crisp action makes even the smallest fish feel like gems, and its compact form means it goes wherever your adventures lead.
