Ron,
Once you get your Tenkara rod, I strongly recommend making up one of Tom Smithwick’s furled leader for the main casting line. There is a tutorial on this site, showing the process.

I found this set up much better for fishing, than the standard single strand of mono commonly used. The furled leader has just enough weight to still cast and control the drift on breezy days.
I’m happy to hear people are fishing this pattern. Another one of my experiments has escaped into the wild.
