The best Level Lines are produced with the fluorocarbon material with the density 1.78. Much heavier than nylon and co-polymer, it is less effected by the wind when casting. It's difference in suppleness and memory is very small; the main difference is the color and visibility. The line visibility is very important for tenkara fishing. Different colors give you the variety of the opportunities to monitor your line’s position in the air and against the background of the water and the banks. Tenkara level lines are supplied on spools – and are simply cut to length for use (any length that you want). So if buying multiple rods – it may only be necessary to buy one spool of line. Note that as the line number gets larger so does the diameter of the line: 号1.5 - 0,205 mm, 号2 - 0,235 mm, 号2.5 - 0,26 mm, 号3 - 0,285 mm, 号3.5 - 0,31 mm, 号4 - 0,33 mm, 号4.5 - 0,365 mm.

All products above are of Japanese origin
The ancient tenkara lines were made from twisted horsehair. Modern lines are made from synthetic filaments. Whichever material is used, you want the end of the line to which the tippet is attached to be heavy enough to turn over the tippet and fly, yet light enough that it lands on the water softly. To get a line where the tippet end is as light as possible and yet have a line heavy enough for the rods to cast, it is necessary to taper the line. This is particularly true for the stiffer rods. In addition to light weight, the visibility is critical: if your line isn't easy to see, you'll miss some the drift and you'll certainly miss some of the strikes. We offer the lines finished off with a tip ring. This line is furled with the yellow kevlar or orange polyester (UNI) thread. Kevlar is good material for "life time" lines. Main advantage is specific weight of kevlar and zero elongation for the years. Orange UNI gives the advantage of very high visibility. The lines are reviewed by Tom Davis.
