Description

Description:
The tapered nylon tenkara line casts incredibly easily, has the highest visibility of any of our lines, and does a good job at staying off the water rather than sagging under the rod. It will be a staple in many tenkara anglers' kits, and is our new main recommendation for anyone getting started.

The tapered nylon line features a loop to girth-hitch to the rod tip, simplifying that connection. This line is available in two different lengths, 11'6" or 14'9". While the line can be cut, it is recommended to be fished at the designed lengths.

The tapered nylon line is our most buoyant option, and may be the best choice for anglers whose situation or fishing style dictate some line be left on the water.

Length recommendations:
11'6" (3.5m) for the rods under 13ft in length and fishing small and mid-size streams. 1% of the sale price of this line will go directly to conservation efforts 14'9" (4.5m) for rods over 13ft, for fishing mid and large size streams, rivers and lakes and more open waters, and for anglers who desire a longer line even with shorter rods.

* Please note... shown price is for 1 line only, your choice of size. The picture of 2 lines is only for showing we sell this line in 2 sizes.

I like using my tenkara rod in: Mountain streams

Autumn in high mountain streams out west where it's often windy. Then, when the wind dies down, I usually switch to a tapered Tenkara nylon line for a softer dry fly landing and what seems to be an endless drag-free drift. And then I can imagine what it feels like to be a skilled fisherman, which I am not.

Small streams… or anywhere!

This line casts like a dream! It floats out from the tip of the rod, turns the fly over, and settles so softly on the water it’s scarcely even there. Great line!

Mid-to-large sized rivers.

Nice tapered line. They perform well when I’m fishing for trout in mid-size rivers, e.g., The AuSable in Grayling, Michigan.

Local ponds and Appalachian Mountain creeks

I purchased 2 tapered lines with my Iwana rod. The 10’ line to replace the line for my Hane, and a 14’ line for the Iwana. The first 10’ line has been casting well for many years, but has become dirty and harder to see on the water.

My favorite tapered lines. Feels great and also highly visible. Have lost this line twice (my own fault), and was frustrated with the spare option I had each time. Get yourself a backup!

High Country conditions, anywhere from 8,000-10,000’ in the San Juans, CO

I like the leader. It’s easy to see. I tied a barrel knot per instructions at the terminal end of the leader, then a slip-knotted5x tippet. Worked fine, but am not a fan of the tag end catching on things. I like the small ring better, as it is on the braided leader.

I like using my tenkara rod in: Mountain streams

freestone streams and spring creeks, and occasionally ‘my’ bass/bluegill pond!

I really like both the simplicity of fishing tenkara, and the increased line control (compared to Western fly fishing). With tenkara, I can focus intently on the line where it enters the water, and I feel this puts me in touch with what’s happening to the fly. It’s true that Western casting (mouse patterns on the bass pond, for example) still has its place in my heart.
But tenkara fits how I like to fish in the Sierra.
