Furled or Level Lines?
Most
people want to know which line is best for them. Truth be told,
both will catch
fish and both will turn over a fly with a Tenkara Fishing rod.
Furled lines create a very delicate cast and need less muscle to get
the line to extend out. Level lines let you customize the length as
you go. Both lines will easily last a full season of Tenkara Fishing
and both are designed to have very low memory, so should you get a
snag when you break off they won't coil up. Level lines have less
bulk and good density so they sink well if you want to fish deeper
and they are more resistant to being blown around in the wind.
On most of our Tenkara Adventures, we have some of each along to
match the situation. One coil of Level and a couple Furled
lines will tackle any Tenkara Fishing Adventure.
