Matt Sment

Matt has built a career in adventure leadership and training that stretches more than two decades. Tenkara rod fishing has been his focus outdoors since 2014. Co-founder of Badger Tenkara, he has developed several popular rod models. Published in several media formats, Matt has been a featured presenter at the Appalachian Tenkara Jam, the Tenkara USA Summit, the Midwest Tenkara Fest, and speaks regularly at angling clubs and conservation groups. He is proud to call the Wisconsin Driftless region his home water.
