Fly Fishing BS thread

Which type of line do you use/prefer?

 

I have one of these:
https://www.cutthroatfurledleaders.com/product/tenkara-camo/
and really like it. Go with about 12' to start. Longer once you can get the one hand technique down.

If you want a challenge later, try level line. It is great in windy conditions, but can be a challenge to learn on.

That Tenkara Bum site you sent the link of is great. Lots of useful info there.

 

Here's another one for ya:

Have never tried this, but sounds interesting.

 

Dammitt! I'm really itchig to pick up an outfit.



Does that leader have a tippet ring on the end?

 

Some do. Most of the furled ones will, I believe.

 

I'm eyeballing the Tenkara USA Iwana 12' as a starter.

 

Do it!

 

How's that feel mister?

 

You've been happy with the quality of yours?

 

I love my sawtooth. I have a 7:3 Maxcatch. I always end up going back to the sawtooth.
That's why I can't wait to play with the Nissin.

 

Dammit...I'm in!

So I poked around a little and found this site. https://dragontailtenkara.com/

Called and the guy was really helpful.

Went with the following:

Rod - https://dragontailtenkara.com/shadowfire-tenkara-rod/

Line(s) - https://dragontailtenkara.com/katana-oudachi-combo-line-pack/

Flies (what the heck! - I can still use some of my go to patters) - https://dragontailtenkara.com/24-tenkara-fly-combo/

$150 for a good starter kit.

 

Great starter set up! Sweet!

 

Now I'm envisioning all the places I can use this.....it's a long list.

 

@Sig45 I think I have some level line that I could send to you too. I am pretty sure I bought a spool of it. You'll just need to make your own loop and attach some backing for the lillian.

 

Oh yeah. It opens up all those little streams that you see that can never touch. Lots of little native brookies in there.

 

Thanks - let me play around with what I have first, but I'll keep that in mind.

 

Yeah. Do. I will check my bag.
There are lots of guys that only fish level line and never go to anything else.
