Tapered Tenkara Lines (Nylon)
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.

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.
great casting, especially is tight location, excellent customer support
Love the rod but disappointed that I paid for express shipping but did not get it express. Missed a trip because of it yet encumbered the cost of express shipping
My Tenkara rod is superior to any type of fishing rod I've owned. It's portability makes it ideal for camping and backpacking trips.
cast so well, highly visible. Made for delicate presentation with tiny dry flies, unweighted wet flys, beadhead nymphs and dry-dropper rigs.
