NISSIN ONI Ryu Tenkara Level Line

I'm grateful for Dragontail Tenkara company...

Dragontail has great rods and plenty of accessories for my Tenkara adventures. Their service is fast and accurate and I appreciate them very much. I own a total of 6 Tenkara Rods and 2 are Dragontail rods and I use them frequently. (Did you know that "Tenkara" translates as "From Heaven" or "From the Sky". ) Makes perfect sense.

Perfect

I ordered the 4.5 Orange to use with my Daiwa Keiryu X 36. It casts a 15' line terminated with 4.5' of Maxima 5# line without any issues. That's really saying something b/c I've struggled with casting level lines up till now!

Light weight level line

I was looking for some light weight level line and the Nissin line had some 2.5 in stock. I usually fish with the 3.5 or the 3 level lines but recently started to taper my line by using the 3.5 then in the last 1 third tying on 3. I found this to work pretty well and decided to go with a triple taper , 3.5...to 3... to 2.5... I use different colors and lengths . Still use about 2/3 of the 3.5 then split the last third between the 3 and 2.5. Why you may ask. The 3.5 helps with the casting.. the progressively thinner 3 to 2.5 are different colors giving a built in depth gauge and the thinner 2.5 is less drag in the water and less intrusive. Of course Nissin products are very high quality.
