Introducing the Keeper: Tenkara USA Line & Fly Keeper

The latest innovation from Tenkara USA, the Tenkara USA Keeper is line holder solution that also incorporates an integrated fly box. The Keeper is designed to hold two tenkara lines, or tenkara line and tippet. That way a minimalist tenkara angler can have the tenkara line, tippet and flies in a compact solution. The Tenkara USA Keeper features two patent-pending solutions. The first one is a completely unique line-catching mechanism. As you wind the line it gets automatically caught between two walls so that the line never "explodes" out of the spool, and you can stop winding it at any point rather than looking for a notch to stop. Another one is a small compartment to hold between 6 and a dozen flies. It's not designed as a fly box replacement, but for a quick outing, or just in case you lose flies, these will always be there with you.
