Two types of lines are used in tenkara fly-fishing: traditional tenkara lines, and tenkara level lines

Tenkara level lines are fluorocarbon, and our lines have been selected based on their special formula for improved castability and higher visibility. Tenkara level lines have the advantages of being less expensive, may also be cut to the desired length depending on river size and fishing conditions. Also, because they are so light, they can be kept off the water more easily, thus, only fly and tippet will touch the water.

To the end of the line, simply add between 2 and 5 feet of tippet. These come in a spool with 35 feet of line, which should be enough for two lines, one of the same length as the rod, another 1.5 times longer.

10lbs or 15lbs level line?

The 15lbs level line is slightly heavier, and will be easier to cast and appropriate for most fishing situations. 15lbs is the level line we recommend to anyone wanting to try level lines.

The 10lbs level line is lighter and can be more easily kept off the water at a longer distance. They are more challenging to cast, but provide for stealthier presentations.
