Tenkara Line Holder

I've used the Tenkara USA 'The Keeper' for several years and found it to work quite well. I wanted another one to manage new level lines, but it was out of stock when I was placing my order. I ordered the Line Holder instead and it is a disappointment. It's difficult to hook a fly onto it, and difficult to wind the line (the foam is too tight to allow the line to easily stack between foam and spool).
I plan to order another 'The Keeper' next time I'm placing an order and probably dump the 'Line Holder' in the trash.
I'm puzzled why Tenkara USA even offers this as a useful item.

Tenkara Line Holder

I have several Tenkara USA rods. My first was the 12' Iwana, and I was hooked. I also have the Amago, Rhodo, and the Hane'--my favorite. The Hane' is perfect for carrying on the motorcycle here in SW Ohio, because it fits easily into the bike's bags. Having all these Tenkara rods, I have a variety of lines in type and length. The Tenkara Line Holder is perfect. I keep the holders in their plastic bag, and mark the bag with what length the line is, and the attached tippet, something like: 15' 5X. This keeps my gear somewhat organized and easily recognizable.

Most of the people that I know locally who use tenkara, started with this line holder. It is inexpensive, simple and does the job. I was fortunate enough to go to Japan and I saw several fishermen using it there. It is not flashy, but you can use a marker on it so that you know which line is on which spool. Simple and efficient, how can you go wrong.

Absolutely LOVE this line holder. Simple, small, lightweight. I just carry this, a small vial of extra flies, some extra tippet, clippers, and forceps. Nothing more needed!
