Here Are Some Highlights:

• Very Short Collapsed Length at just over 12 inches (13 inches in the case) 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 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.
• 10ft Extended Length so you can fish most situation from creeks, ponds, small rivers, and mountain lakes.
• 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.
• Durable Material Blend. Most tenkara mini pocket rods that have a good mid flex are very fragile, this is not the case with the TalonMINI rod. Our blend of materials will stand up to some big 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 FUN! We have taken this rod to a few fly fishing expos and everyone just loves casting it and amazed at it’s action for such a compact rod. 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.
