Well I went with 17 lb. I honestly was not impressed with the rods casting.. not to worry I just..n I mean just seconds ago put in an order for a spool of 3.5 & 4.5 lines.. the real deal for tenkara... I must say after reading a lot on your site.. that tenkara bum 36 rod sounds more of what I should shoot for in the future.. I may be expecting to much of this particular rod...
Not sure it can really handle nymphs of any size or more than lightly weighed.. but it was a first time trial run n I may have been trying to put to much western influence into the casting.. been watching some utube vids on that subject as well..
