I bought an $8 carp rod off of Aliexpress. It's like a Tenkara but it's a bit stiff. I used a section of old 5 weight line and it works exactly how I want it to. 2 metres long, collapses to 40 cm.
My first fish on it was a stocked rainbow and it was a ton of fun. I don't think I'll bother buying a real tenkara... this suits my purpose and is more than fun enough.
