One of the longer Tenkara USA rods, the 13ft Ayu has similar action and finish to the Ebisu rods, but 1 extra foot. It also features a longer premium cork handle, which allows the angler to adjust the holding position for increased balance or reach. The rod is a mid-weight Tenkara rod, and the most versatile rod we offer, great for catching most fish sizes while staying a bit further and casting precisely and softly.

How much difference does 1ft make? Pushing the tenkara concept of using a long rod for increased control and reach, 13 foot rod will require less stretching of the arm to reach that promising spot. You can also add more tippet and have 2 - 3 ft more reach.
