Here&#8217;s why&#8230; Two Hackles for one &#160; I think probably the main reason I think this is such great hackle is that every cape really gives you 2 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There seems to be a fair amount of confusion among tenkara newcomers when it comes to level lines. People talk about level lines in terms of &#8220;lb. test&#8221; or &#8220;breaking strength&#8221; and people don&#8217;t seem to get the rating system used in tenkara so I thought I&#8217;d make a post to clear it up and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I recently got some eyeless tenkara hooks from Tenkara Bum and have been having a lot of fun trying out different patterns. But I was curious&#8230;are the claims about eyeless hooks having more action in the water true?  So, I decided to do a (very unscientific) test and see.  I tied two flies with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I got some eyeless tenkara hooks today from Tenkara Bum:  the Owner Yamame and Gamakatsu Amago.  They&#8217;re both great hooks with interesting bends and finishes that will surely make for some fun experimentation.  In Japan, tiers would use a silk cord to form a loop &#8220;eye&#8221;.  I didn&#8217;t have any silk cord so I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>
