But they are helpful as I progress in my practice of tenkara. I still use a color line for urban #untenkara. I craft that line with a clear tip that helps me gauge depth.<br /><br />Light lines? Even a #3.5 is light and beyond that, lighter lines start taking away the accurate attribute of tenkara, accuracy. Once accuracy degrades, that's where I stop. I craft my lines to be "all around" in that, the accuracy aspect I protect.<br /><br />It sounds like clear lines may be in your future, I have not regretted any bit of time that I've spent using them, that is for sure.<br /><br />Good luck and take care, thank you for visiting.Adam Trahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977180275024612362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070418924223003503.post-62840379051223382902023-01-19T06:37:01.934-07:002023-01-19T06:37:01.934-07:00Really enjoyed the read Adam.

In the early 90’s when I was a young teen in Alaska learning to fly fish I just instinctively began fishing nymphs with long clear leaders, minimal weight and a high rod position and just feeling everything. I remember when I first began seeing “strike indicators” on fly rigs I didnt understand the need for them. Those early years really formed how I would go on to fish for the next 30 years and counting. Now as my tenkara lines get lighter and lighter I think going to a clear line may be the next step. At least worth the experimentation and dedicating some time to. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
