Tenkara is the most simplistic form of fly fishing, and can prove to be the most effective. That's why simple functionality was the guiding principle used when creating the Topo Designs x Tenkara Rod Co product collaboration. We harnessed our mutual love for getting people outdoors and developed a ready to fish kit that gives both the new and established Tenkara fisherman everything he/she needs in a small, lightweight package.

The Topo Designs x Tenkara Rod Co Kit includes a 10.5ft medium action Tenkara Rod, Tenkara line, selection of traditional Tenkara flies, a Leader Wallet to organize line and flies, as well as our limited edition Minimal Hip Pack to carry it all. This is fly fishing made easy.

Our Minimal Hip Pack is the perfect small carrying companion when pockets aren't enough. The Minimal Hip Pack carries the Tenkara rod, flies, line, water bottle, wallet, snack, sunglasses and keys without covering your entire back. The X-Pac™ material boasts multiple layers, laminated together over a waterproof membrane. The X-Ply™ (diamond pattern) provides additional strength across the bias, traditionally the weakest part of the pack. The extra-long webbing belt allows for it to be carried at the waist or across your body.

All of our Minimal Hip Packs are handmade here in Colorado.
