DRAGONtail Tenkara is a premier online retailer dedicated to the Japanese method of fly-fishing known as Tenkara. Founded by a passionate angler, the company was born out of a desire to make this simple, effective, and elegant fishing style accessible to everyone, from curious beginners to seasoned experts. The core mission of DRAGONtail is to provide high-quality, durable, and affordable Tenkara gear without the premium price tag often associated with specialized fishing equipment. They believe that the joy of connecting with nature through fishing shouldn't be limited by cost or complexity.
The product lineup is thoughtfully curated to cover all aspects of the Tenkara experience. This includes a diverse range of telescopic Tenkara rods designed for different water types and fish sizes, from the delicate Shadowfire series for small streams to the robust HELLbender rods for larger, more challenging fish. Beyond rods, DRAGONtail offers a complete ecosystem of accessories, including traditional furled lines, level lines, a wide assortment of hand-tied flies (kebari), tippet, and essential tools. They are particularly well-known for their comprehensive starter kits, which bundle everything a newcomer needs to hit the water immediately, removing the guesswork and intimidation factor.
Community and education are central to the DRAGONtail ethos. The company actively engages with its customers through social media, informative blog posts, and video tutorials that demystify Tenkara techniques and celebrate the angling lifestyle. They are not just selling gear; they are fostering a community of anglers who share a passion for this minimalist approach to fly-fishing, emphasizing skill, nature, and the simple pleasure of the catch. Through exceptional customer service and a genuine love for the sport, DRAGONtail has established itself as a trusted and respected name in the global Tenkara community. |
