DIY Fly Desiccant
I know this isn’t a great video but I’ve been getting a lot of interest in Eiji Yamakawa’s furled tenkara lines since my recent post. This is footage I took at the 2012 Tenkara Summit and while it was difficult to get a good shot because of all the people crowded around and I’m not happy with it, I thought it was still worth posting. If nothing else, it will serve to whet the appetites of those looking for a demo of how to furl a tenkara line before the soon-to-be-released videos come out from Tenkara Guides. I’m sure their videos will be much more detailed and informative. This one was just off the cuff so stay tuned for a better one from the guides.

Thanks for the video. It helps out. I see it is all about keeping the lines separated while twisting. The weight on the ends also help out. Now I just need to do some experimenting. Thanks again Jason.
One of the magazines a few years ago had this bizarre peg and board method posted. This certainly looks simpler, but I can’t imagine that it’s easier than a Bimini twist.
I’ve done plenty of Bimini twist befores with perfection loop at each end as a leader for cranking bass and snapper out of thick cover/wrecks. Makes a damn strong leader for cheap.
