Why make the Lillian so short? I know it is customary, but and extra two inches would make life so much easier. I just ordered a HELLbender and can't wait to try it out on the St Joe in North Idaho.

I just tie a little perfection knot, and use only a 12 foot fly fishing leader no line or anything just leader and have no trouble at all. 👌🏻
@jaredspears7904 жыл бұрын
So you’re literally tying 12’ of leader to the Lillian? Then tying the fly to the end of the 12’ of leader? Just seeing if I’m reading this right.

Is level line the same as tippet?
@user-nt3bf1fd1j7 ай бұрын
When you wrap the line on the foam line holder, would it be more efficient to wrap the opposite way? Fly first and loop on the outside. This way you have the option of leaving the loop connected and you never have to unwrap everything just to find your loop.

HI after watching your video, what rod do you recommend for beginners into Tenkara as I am a fly fhisher
@DRAGONtailTenkara3 жыл бұрын
I would get either the Shadowfire 365 rod or the NIRVANA 370z rod to start, depending on your budget.

Slice up a pool noodle for multiple spools. I like to use maggots instead of a fly and use a small styrene indicator as a float. In Japan, bait is far more commonly used than artificials. Excellent tutorial too!

It isn't necessary. The stopper knot (a simple overhand knot) will not untie.

It is easly to slide out the zoom sections of the DRAGONtail rods if you need to replace or clean them. The NIRVANA 370z zoom section is tight but it does come out with some force.

So with the right amount of energy, the stopping point in the case will see the rod perpendicular to the tangent of the arc and the line should fly on that tangent, right?

What's the best way to tie the furled line to the tippet? A nail knot? Surgeon's knot? Can I use a tippet ring at the end of the furled line?
@DRAGONtailTenkara3 жыл бұрын
the same knot you tie to your hook will work just fine, the tip of the furled line has a tippet ring to tie to.

Why isn't the stopper knot pre-tied by the manufacturer at the end of the Lillian?

Because some people use a different method that does not use the stopper knot so we have to leave it off.

Are the lines floating or sinking, or can you use both?
@DenverMagicanDennis5 жыл бұрын
The line it supposed to really be held above the water and allow the tippet and fly to sink. One of the big benefits to Tenkara is that you don't have to mend your line. There are floating lines on the market. I have allowed my line to drop into the water but only to maybe get a touch more depth.

It can vary but it is common to have the tenkara line the length of the rod plus the 3' of tippet.

@Smoyf6 жыл бұрын
It's the most basic knot possible. Is it really that hard to take 5 seconds to do it?
@ArbitraryLifestyle5 жыл бұрын
Because if you use level line (highly recommend over furled line), you don't need a knot in the lillian.
when you rewind you are inserting twist in the line.
@forester057 Жыл бұрын
It’s maybe 16’ and all in the air when you cast. Any line twist will untwist while casting. It’s short so twist isn’t that big a deal.
