As mentioned in the thread about the Burton Fly Fair, Tenkara Centre UK launched 2 new rods into the market place. The 'Masu' is an 11ft 7:3 rod that extends the existing rod range in terms of both length and action being a little stiffer. It is a higher modulus carbon and the action is very positive with a faster recovery but still has all the feel required of a good Tenkara rod. We have added a good shaped handle made of AAA cork but with composite cork at the handle top and bottom for added protection and durability.
The second rod went down a storm at the show, it is a magic little 8ft 'brook' rod the 'Issui' with a 6:4 action. From the feedback we have had this should be a winner for all those of us who dabble on smaller streams with micro flies. The idea of this rod came from all the feedback we had at the BFFI in July and we have been developing it since then. A well known Tenkara fisher from Yorkshire ( I am sure you all know who I mean!) was very sceptical about the idea of this rod but as soon as he tried it he wanted one and is now top of the reserve list to receive and 'Issui' from the first delivery due in the next 2 weeks. Both rods are finished in a matt black with absolutely no rod flash whatsoever!
Both rods will be available online and from our select group of official stockists very soon.

Hi Mike.
I had a good look at your 'Issui' rod at the Burton fly fair & thought it was an absolute gem!
All the very best with both your new rods.
Stevie.
