The tapered nylon tenkara line casts incredibly easily, has the highest visibility, 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 recommended for anyone getting started. The tapered nylon line features a loop to girth-hitch to the rod tip, simplifying that connection. 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. 14’9″ (4.5m) is 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.
