The Ultimate 3-Length Full-Flex Slow Action ZOOM Tenkara Rod

Large zoom range covering 3 popular lengths in one Tenkara Rod
Features/Performance Overview:
3 LONG Zoom Lengths
Zoom sections lock to give you 3 adjustable lengths in one rod (sometimes called a triple zoom rod) so you can use the same rod for all the different conditions you run into on the water. Whether you want long reach, a medium casting length, or need to shorten things up around over hanging trees this IceWING zx390 Tenkara Rod has you covered with just the zoom of a rod section (or two) to make it the rod length needed.
Full-Flex Soft Action Similar to the Feel of Fiberglass
Excellent soft 5:5 Full-Flex casting action in every length, perfect for Light Level Lines to light weight furled and tapered lines. Fun action at all 3 rod lengths.
I really think a lot of tenkara anglers that prefer light level lines are going to love how this rod casts them with ease, although the rest of you are still going to like how smooth it casts most tapered lines as well. If you love the soft action of the FoxFIRE rod and wish it was longer, then this rod is the rod for you, it feels like a glass rod in a lot of ways.
Deep rod flex action allows the rod to distribute pressure evenly throughout the entire rod when fighting fish. This deep rod flex also makes for a smooth casting action with little effort to cast light level lines.
Light in Hand (casting weight)
Excellently balanced tip-weight in every length, feels very light in hand when casting and fishing.
Excellent Tip Recovery
Excellent tip dampening so you have very little (IF ANY) oscillation while casting giving you very precise accurate casts with great presentation, even with very light level lines.
Durability
This rod is designed for targeting small to medium sized trout on light lines in creeks, streams, or small rivers. That does not mean you can’t use outside of those parameters if you so desire, have fun doing what you like. Although if you want to target big fish then this is probably not the tenkara rod that will give you much control over them but it is strong enough for a bigger fish if you find one.
