At its shorter length it is perfect for tighter streams, and at its full length it will be ideal when the stream opens up again or when you find a bigger pool to cast your fly. The Sato is named after Mr. Ernest Satow, an avid mountaineer who was the first person to make a written record of tenkara. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Sato™ has two patent pending features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTriple-zoom:\u003c\/strong\u003e this allows you to use the rod at three different lengths - 10’8”\/ 11’10”\/12’9” (330\/360\/390cm). The average length for a tenkara rod is 12ft long, we like to recommend rods that are closer to 13ft, yet many people are intimidated by such long lengths for rods intended for smaller streams. So, we felt a rod with the 3 most common lengths would be an easy choice: short to ease you into tenkara, medium to give you a taste of the advantages presented by a long tenkara rod, and long to help you take full advantage \u003c\/span\u003eto the tenkara method. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeep your Plug™\u003c\/strong\u003e system (patent pending): We're very excited about this very simple yet innovative feature. After hearing that no one has ever been able to keep their tenkara rod plug for longer than a year, we decided we should find a solution for you to never lose your plug again. We designed the “Keep your plug”™ system. Next time you go fishing, remove the plug from the top end of your rod and insert it into the hole at the bottom of your rod. The Sato™ will come with two plugs on the rod; please leave one at home in case you ever need it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hide-description\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSPECS:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.9 oz (\u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=\"content-type\"\u003e82.2g);\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eClosed length:\u003c\/b\u003e 22 3\/4\"(57.78cm);\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOpen lengths:\u003c\/b\u003e 10’8”\/ 11’10”\/12’9” (330\/360\/390cm)*;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHandle length:\u003c\/b\u003e10 ½”(26.7cm);\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSegments:\u003c\/b\u003e 9\u003cbr\u003e*\u003ci\u003e There may be slight discrepancies in their extended length of tenkara rods* \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5mfiKAKupAo\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePeople searching for Teton, Mizuchi, Sati, Hellbender, Gamakatsu, and tenkara rods usually buy the Sato, the best-selling adjustable tenkara rod in the market, for the Sato's premium performance, and Tenkara USA's reputable customer service and Lifetime Guarantee.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/blog.tenkarausa.com\/myportfolio\/qr1-settingup-rigging-tenkara\/\" title=\"Learn how to tie the knots used in tenkara.
