Zen Tenkara All Purpose Fly Line Schnur floating

The first tenkara anglers around two to three hundred years ago were professional fishermen who either fed their own families with their catch or sold it in some cases. The equipment of the original tenkara professional fishermen was simple: rods made of bamboo, lines made of twisted horsehair, the simplest artificial flies made of natural materials. Tenkara is usually fished only in the upper reaches of a river, where the water surface is not too large and small pockets form between the stones. During fishing the rod is held so steeply that only the leader and the fly touch the water surface. By short fast casts the fly can be held precisely in the different pockets of the stream, exactly where the salmonids are waiting for insects. Tenkara is an exciting fishery where the experience of nature is paramount.

The Zen Tenkara All Purpose Fly Line, as the name suggests, is the all-rounder of the tenkara fly lines. It comes in a variety of lengths from 7 feet to 15 feet to perfectly complement any rod length. The fly line senses even gentle movement in the rod hand and cuts precisely through the wind. The 100% eco-friendly and recyclable line has an extremely stiff core with no stretch, this helps tremendously when setting the hook. The front 20 cm of the line is high-visibility orange, making sight fishing easier and your eyes happier in the long run. At the end of the Hi-Vis Indicator tip is a loop with a Pitzenbauer ring for easy tippet mounting. The Zen Tenkara All Purpose is a solid but gentle tenkara line that makes putting down fine dry flies a pleasure.
