Tonkin Bamboo Tenkara Rod Kits – Custom Lengths up to 4.2m
Handcrafted by a master rod maker with 30 years of experience, our kits use mature Tonkin bamboo aged 4–5 years or older. Each section is carefully selected, hand-straightened and prepared with internal nodes removed.
Standard Sizes
2.7m / Approx. 9ft: 3 bamboo sections + 1 bamboo handle.
3.6m / Approx. 12ft: 4 bamboo sections + 1 bamboo handle.
Custom lengths up to 4.2m are available, including 3.0m, 3.3m, 3.9m and 4.2m. Section dimensions and joints are designed by our experienced rod maker.
Finish Options
DIY Semi-Finished Kit: Requires thread wrapping at the joints and a protective finish. Additional fittings and materials should be sourced locally.
Finished Rod: Joints already thread-wrapped and a protective finish applied.
Bamboo naturally varies in shape and size. Slight dimensional differences are normal, and all measurements are approximate.
Please specify your preferred length and handle when ordering; otherwise, a handle will be selected at random.
Preparation takes 1–2 weeks. Free tracked shipping is included, with estimated delivery of 2–4 weeks for packages under 20kg.
