Our Story
In 2007, Daniel discovered tenkara while researching the history and culture of fishing in Japan. In 2008, he visited Japan for his first time and saw tenkara in person. He returned to the US with a tenkara rod in his bag and started enjoying tenkara on backpacking trips. The method was simple and effective; yet, there was no information in English on tenkara. Daniel decided he wanted to share tenkara with people, it would make it easy for people to take-up fly-fishing and experienced anglers like himself were sure to enjoy its minimalist nature. He realized that to share tenkara he could have written many articles and books about it, but if people didn’t get a chance to experience tenkara for themselves it would not spread. Thus, Daniel set out to create a business designing tenkara rods, tenkara lines and tenkara flies and putting them in the hands of people.

I was very hopeful that this would cast & turn over like a weight forward fly line. Please let me know if I’m doing something wrong, but even after multiple passes with a leader straightener this line holds memory worse than cheap monofilament - to the point that it’s virtually impossible to get a decent cast. Guess I’m sticking to furled line.

This line isn't bad at all, but it has some memory to it.I prefer a furled leader.

Frankly I don't know what I'm doing, so it's awesome to have a a line pre-cut to the length for which my Tenkara USA rod was designed.

Great quality line. I've had it stuck in brush, pulling a heavy fish, and put it to test. Works great!

A bit stiffer than I’d expected. Throws well though and Tenkara USA only sells tried and tested gear. Perhaps the line will loosen up when weather warms..

I wanted to love it, but it gets tangled very easily and is difficult to straighten out after being wound (stays coiled/kinky)
