Description

The Ultimate Packable Tenkara Rod The Backpackr is a revolutionary Tenkara rod built for ultralight adventures. After raising over $130,000 on Kickstarter, the Backpackr is now available for pre-order. Each rod comes ready to fish with the Kebari Kit Bundle including a 10.5ft furled tenkara line, 12 hand-tied flies, 1 spool of 5x tippet, and a line holder. Made for the Backcountry We designed the Backpackr for anglers who want to go farther with less. Built from premium carbon fiber, it collapses to just 13.5 inches and weighs only 2.8 ounces — so you can hike deep into the wild without extra weight dragging you down. With three adjustable lengths (10'10", 11'10", and 12'10"), it’s versatile enough for tight creeks, alpine lakes, and everything in between. This is tenkara made for the mountains. Light, strong, and born to roam.
