Thanks Simon,
Simplistic method! Is the orange material elasticated?

Hi Mostyn
No the material is just fly-line backing. You do not need it to be elasticated as the rod itself is more than able to absorb the fight of the fish!

Simon,
It's a good post for people who have never tried tenkara fishing.
Incidently how do you manage to post your photos in that manner. I'm struggling to understand how to do it as I would like to post some photos in other threads?
Tx

Bas, this is a useful video to watch before your rod arrives. It's so easy to break the tip of your rod connecting the leader this video shows the correct way plus other useful knots. www.tenkarausa.com/blog/?tag=tenkara-knots |

The problem with knots that rely on tension to lock is that they can come loose ...as i found out on Saturday morning when i lost my whole line in the Don.

If attacking using the loop method then I prefer to have a soft material, like a fine fly line backing, to make the connection. Once bedded in I've never had a problem. A loop of nylon will more than likely come loose and so a different style of knot is needed for level lines without the loop of backing. Like this...
