This tiny Pocket Mini Tenkara rod is super compact, light weight, flexible 6:4 action, and has a durable construction. Everything we wanted when we set out to design a SHORT length Mini Tenkara rod for those overgrown creeks, and it is a COMPLETE JOY to cast. 

We specifically had the Appalachian mountain range in mind when we made this mini 8ft pocket rod BUT we all have a few creeks or sections of creeks that a great packable 8ft rod like this comes in very handy. It has similar action to the popular TalonMINI 310 rod but the TinyTALON 245 is softer in the tip sections to cast very short light lines better with less motion.

Here Are Some Highlights: 

• Very Short Collapsed Length at just 11.34 inches collapsed it will fit easily in any backpack, motorcycle compartments, strap on bike frames, fit in your airplane carry on bag, in car glove box, or even a hoody jacket pocket. Fantastic for a trail runner, a quick hike, or even a bike ride. Small enough that there is no reason not to take it everywhere you go, just incase you have a chance to fish. 
• 8ft Extended Length is excellent for those overgrown creeks with tight canopy that requires tight casting. 
• Medium-Soft Action With A Hint Of Fiberglass. Most tenkara mini pocket rods are stiff due to having so many sections, so we added just the right amount of glass in certain sections to make our pack rod cast like a dream. This rod has a bit more fiberglass in the upper sections when compared to the TalonMINI 310 rod so that it can cast easier with less motion and shorter lines that are needed in tight canopy creeks. 
• Durable Material Blend. Most tenkara mini pocket rods that have a good mid flex are very fragile, this is not the case with the TinyTALON 245 rod. Our blend of materials will stand up to some decent fish with no worries. 
• Light Weight so you can cast it all day with very little fatigue and save weight in your ultra-light backpack. Very durable even without the hard case so you can leave the case weight behind. 
• Comfortable Cork Handle Grip. Many pocket mini tenkara rods do not include a nice handle, this is not the route we wanted to go. With our TalonMINI you get the compactness and the nice handle for all day fishing with no hand fatigue. 
• IT IS BLAST to FISH! Everyone just loves casting it and are amazed at it's smooth casting action for such a compact rod that is only 8ft long. Although it will handle a decent sized fish, it is just the right action to make the little mountain trout plenty of fun to catch. 

Full Description:

At just 11.34 inches collapsed, there is no reason the TinyTALON 245 rod can't go everywhere with you so you will never miss a fishing opportunity or always have a rod for that tight casting spot.

Keep it in the glove box, under the car seat, in a jacket pocket, in any bag or compartment, or strap it on your bike anywhere! It is literally too small to leave behind. Plus, this pocket MINI tenkara rod flat out performs!!!

With our special blend of fiberglass added to our carbon fiber, our TinyTALON gives you a wonderful casting rod flex action without sacrificing rod strength or durability.

From small wild trout, or bluegill, that require sensitivity to some medium sized trout or bass, the TinyTALON has you covered! You will be amazed at how deep this rod will flex when it needs to.

At a little over 8ft long extended, the TinyTALON 245 Tenkara Rod can be used in most tight fishing situations that you just can't use your longer rods for.

And BONUS!!! Unlike many other mini tenkara rods out there, you still get a nice cork handle.

And of course, you will get DRAGONtail's excellent customer service and all parts available individually at a reasonable price, if you need them.

The TinyTALON has all the compactness without all the drawbacks.
YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THE FUN YOU WILL HAVE WITH THIS ROD !!!

Snap-On Line Winder somewhat fits the TinyTALON 245 rod BUT it sticks out a little bit on the end.

The New Double-Banded Ultimate Line Keepers work excellent on the TinyTALON 245 rod and the TalonMINI 310 rod.
