Fly Goddess: When I do tenkara (or tanago) my largest tippet size is 5X, so line breakage is a pretty much a non-issue for me. And even if we were talking about a furled leader (and heavier tippets)...
Thanks, Chris. I was unaware that Danville Flymaster was made of nylon. That explains its elasticity and the resulting twisting of a line made with it. You sure do come in handy.

My apologies for using inexact language. When I said "snarling" I intended to describe what happens when you put stress on a furled leader, such as when pulling hard to break the tippet...
I read Jason Klass's recent Tenkara USA blog post in which he praises the TUSA kevlar furled-line. As usual with Jason's work, I find nothing to disagree with. Yet, it might be worth mentioning here...
