Zen Tenkara Furled and Tapered Tenkara Fly Line hi-vis

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 Furled and Tapered Tenkara Fly Line Hi-vis is a traditional tenkara line braided by hand. The Hi-vis line is an  line that allows for a smooth presentation and it is high visible. It is made of plain thread and has no sheathing. However, the Japanese raw material is water repellent, so the line will float without a coating. The line can be used for both dry fly fishing and nymph fishing. The non-existent stretch of the line always give a direct feel to the casting hand further, so the load of the rod to feel it found in the right timing quickly. The Furled and Tapered Tenkara line is great for beginners to tenkara fly fishing, fishing in general, or for those who simply prefer a more traditional tankara experience.
