Best tenkara rod?

I concur. I checked out Moonshine prior to posting this and they have some 3 weights in stock if you haven’t checked them out they are a good value.

I've had a few moonshine rods over the years an gotten rid of all of them. Actually, I guess I still have a moonshine spinning rod which has been a good one but I moved on from all their fly rods I had.

Let me make the case for shorter rods or rods that are segmented into more pieces for packable purposes. The rod case I carry for my 5ft rod is a little over 21 inches long which allows me to stuff it inside my daypack without it sticking out of the top or having to strap it to the outside. It's convenient and also discreet. I'm very secretive about my fishing destinations and whenever I talk to someone on the trail with a rod case strapped to my pack its pretty obvious what I'm out there to do. I can't do that with my 4 piece rods on bigger water but when I fish small streams I expect not to see another soul. I'm also in Colorado, maybe that's less of a worry in Alaska.

That's a cool travel case, what rod fits in it?

Right on. I have two and they’ve been great but I don’t fish either of them much anymore. I just knew they made a smaller weight rod in a short length in that price point.
I’ve got a 7’6 3 wt that’s been a nice little brookie rod.

I think I may have that same case If you will pay shipping it's yours. Let me double check if I still have it and make sure it's the right size.

If I am packing a fly rod in I use a stuff sack for the reel and a fluorescent lightbulb tube for the rod.

I have that 3 piece 5ft rod in mine but anything that breaks down into pieces that are 20 inches or less will fit.
