Tenkara R19 (Unit 19 Of 22): A Limited Edition, Individually Numbered Rod

Some rods are tools. This one is a signature. The Tenkara R19 is hand-built by master artisan Mario Díaz Ibarra — “El Artesano de la Pesca a la Mosca” — as part of a strictly limited run of 22 individually numbered rods. This is Unit 19 of 22, hand-signed and yours alone.

Why anglers keep coming back to the R19

Telescoping to a compact 55cm and extending to a full 338cm across 8 precision-fitted sections, the R19 disappears into a daypack and reappears exactly when a mountain stream demands it. The hand-turned, composite cork grip settles into your palm within the first cast, and the deep navy blank carries a quiet, confident flex built for delicate presentations on wary trout.

Perfect for These Destinations

The R19’s balanced length and effortless portability make it a versatile companion for technical waters around the world:

• Pyrenees & Picos de Europa (Spain): tight, overgrown creeks and native trout streams
• Italian Dolomites: crystalline alpine headwaters demanding a delicate approach
• Slovenia (Soča & Lepena Rivers): technical currents and gin-clear pools
• Rocky Mountains (USA): pocket water on creeks like the Big Thompson
• Scottish Highlands: small spate rivers where a compact setup wins the day

Free Gift Set Included

This R19 comes ready to fish, with everything you need from day one:

• EVA foam line winder
• Braided tenkara line
• Level line with tippet
• 2 hand-tied tenkara flies
• Line keepers

Photo note: one of the product photos shows the gift set items laid out alongside the rod, so you can see exactly what’s included. This is for illustration only — everything ships neatly packed together, not pre-assembled.

A gift they’ll actually use

Looking for a birthday gift for the angler in your life — or something worth putting under the tree this Christmas? A numbered, hand-signed rod says more than a gift card ever could, and Unit 19 of 22 will never be duplicated.
