To answer your question - "How do you complete a line set-up for a tenkara rod?" -

A typical tenkara setup consists of a "line" and "tippet". In "conventional" terms it would be "leader" and "tippet".

The line is usually as long as the rod, +/- 2', depending on a bunch of stuff, with a typical rod being about 12' long. Tippet is usually 2' to 3' long.

For folks fishing "non-typical tenkara", the line might be 1.5 x rod length, and tippet will range from 3' to 8'+. So even with a 15' rod, the line will only be 22' long, but it is irrelevant inasmuch as it is Not "fly line".

And most tenkara rods are too soft to handle even very light fly line, and for those that could, you would have a very hard time keeping the line off the water, which is a key aspect of tenkara fishing technique.
