    Question Tenkara line numbers. What do they mean?

    Okay, I ordered a rod. I am now dying for it to arrive and thus spending too much time reading, which only gets my rod arm twitching and makes it worse.

    One thing that keeps coming up that I have yet to find an explanation of the various (level?) line 'sizes' that are referenced. They are referred to as #3, #3.5, #x.y and whatever. At first I thought that was the length, then I saw someone referring to a fishing trip where they used different lengths of #3.5 line on a rod. That got me searching and I (think I) have read all the different line explanations, but have yet to find a clarification on that line sizing designation. I know one of you has the answer for this, or knows where it is explained and I have yet to find. Please enlighten me.

    Thanks!

    Don
