Tenkara lines must have enough weight for casting, but be light enough to not sag under the rod and get dragged by currents. Start with a tenkara line about the same length as the rod, but feel free to play with a longer line as well. To the end of the line, tie about 4ft of tippet. 

Tenkara USA lines are versatile and highly visible so you can detect strikes and follow your fly. Any of our different lines, including the tenkara nylon line or tenkara furled line, can be paired with any of the tenkara rods we offer. The Keeper is a popular way of storing your tenkara fishing line and fly when you're on the move.
