It’s hard to wind line into it. Furled line is hard and level fly line is impossible.

It is simple to cast and provides a great drift. I use Tenkara rods to teach my young grandkids,...

I like these because they are “keepers” as opposed to spools. I fish my own hand-cut level line mono lines. The Keeper holds the line and doesn’t allow the line to unspool.

Tenkara fishing is simplicity in motion.

I have the TenkaraUSA AMAGO pole. I love using a longer pole that can handle not only larger fish but is sensitive enough to feel the strikes of smaller fishing as well.
Fishing tenkara poles is simplicity in motion, the angler is present in the here and now without distractions of dealing with rod/reel and stripping extra line.
Pole line fly and reading your environment.
That's it simple really.

The universal rod cap is a perfect upgrade to the original plug that came with my Amago rod purchased 10 years ago. I had dropped the plug many times and fortunately was able to grab it in the water before it floated away…except the last time. I’ve fished a couple of times with the Keeper and it works great with my amazing Amago rod. Loose the plug, go with the Keeper.

These line keepers meet my needs better than any others I have used. The holder for flies does pop open and I have lost some flies so I keep them elsewhere

rivers of the Kola Peninsula

An excellent thing, thought out to the smallest detail, I’ve been using it for a long time, but I can’t buy a second one. It is difficult to transfer money from Russia.

Works well. Definitely the best method I have found for storing line while moving upward downstream, through forest.

Small streams

The keeper is a great piece of gear. It allows you to carry two lines(different or same) and a few flies in one compact unit. It's a perfect way to have what you need when fishing with a TenkaraUSA rod.

No instruction or suggestions. Don’t care for it at this point.

I don't get to get out much, still trying to learn the area. I don't have much to offer because I am basically new to fishing.

Awesome!

I use my Tenkara on some spring fed streams and on still water lakes

The Keeper is a very useful accessory for tenkara fishing. I store two separate lines with leader and fly attached. It is extremely helpful.

The keeper is excellent. It’s an entire “tackle box” with line storage and a compartment for flies. Everything you’d need for an afternoon on the water in a single keeper!
