Dragontail TinyTALON 245 pocket mini Tenkara rod 8ft

The TinyTALON 245 is our most compact Tenkara rod — purpose-built for overgrown Appalachian creeks and tight mountain streams where a standard rod simply won't fit. At just 8ft extended and 11.34 inches collapsed, it disappears into your pack and delivers a complete joy to cast thanks to its soft 6:4 action and feather-light 1.9oz build.

Designed with the same DNA as our popular TalonMINI 310, the TinyTALON 245 features softer tip sections that load beautifully with very short, light lines — requiring minimal motion for precise, delicate presentations. Whether you're threading through rhododendron tunnels in the Southern Appalachians or sneaking up on wild brookies in a brushy headwater, this rod was made for exactly that moment.
