Tenkara Rod Wall Rack

January 19, 201410 CommentsPacks, Organization & StorageBy Jason Klass

Many anglers have a fishing office (i.e. man cave) where they have their fly tying desk, gear, and where they like to put their tenkara rods on display. Some people have built their own tenkara rod racks, or used an off-the-shelf solution like these pool cue racks to show off their rods. But the innovative French company Tenkara Pyrenees has come out with (as far as I know), the world’s first tenkara-specific wall-mounted rod rack.

The rack is metal, and painted white, with a cut out raised trout sporting the company’s logo. The trout comes in different colors but the one I got is “Tenkara Talk Red” 😉 . You can see the other color options in the 2014 Tenkara Pyrenees Catalog. It’s not only beautiful, but also functional, making it a nice addition to any fishing office.

The rack holds two rod tubes and two tenkara rods and comes with two holes for mounting to the wall (in the photo below, I only show one rod tube and one rod so you can see the spool hooks below).

At the bottom, there are three hooks to hold line spools (they will fit any line spools, not just the Tenkara Pyrenees brand).

I’m very excited to see Tenkara Pyrenees creating some really unique and innovative designs. And believe me, there’s more coming. I have some other pretty interesting things they’ve come up with that I’m field testing now and will post about when the results are in. You can stay on top of what their doing by visiting the Tenkara Pyrenees blog.

    Looks pretty and it is nice that the company is developing tenkara specific products, however none of the rods I own have tubes and I don’t like the idea of grpahite sitting upon metal.

    Sorry for the typo – must have been thinking of the new material “grpahite” from Tenkara Sasquatch.

    Hi Jason, I just wanted to thank you again for meeting me & my brother-in-law at Starbucks to show me the rods. I was just about to order and they came out with the two new ones. Good timing! I got the Sato and I love it. Now I am wondering about the differences between the traditional vs the Level line. Is this something I should keep one of each on hand? What kind of fishing is each best for? Thanks, Scott

      Hi Scott,
      No problem. I can’t tell you which line will be best for you. You will need to just try both and see which one you like better. Here are 2 links that will give you some things to consider:

      Hope that helps.

    Jason, this seems like a very open and progressive company. Maybe you (since you have more “clout” than me) could submit some of my ideas and diagrams of some “purple cow” ideas i sent to you awhile back, yes?

      Hi Timmy, yes, they are very progressive and open to new ideas. They’ve probably already seen your ideas since they read my blog but I think you should still submit them yourself since they’re your ideas (and good ones too). Contact Maxime at info.tenkara.fr. He’s a great guy, loves to talk design, and is pretty much fluent in English so communication is easy.

    Jason, per the last pic, it looks as though the bottom level where a second rod tube and rod would go might interefere with line spools. Is this true or is there enough clearance between the lower rod tube hold and line sppols?

      Hi Adam, there is more than enough clearance between the bottom rod and the spools so that you can remove them without first having to remove the rod. Hope that answers your question.

    If you are concerned with how it will look when mounted on a wall, you need not worry.You can also visit: http://tiny.cc/Broom-and-Mop-Holder
