TENKARA PATH PRODUCTS
Welcome to my products page. I make products that embrace the minimalist ethos of tenkara. I believe that the things we own and use should inspire us, be practical, durable and cherished.
The Tenkara Path line spools are handcrafted from reclaimed hardwoods, designed to hold tippet, line, and flies. Each unique spool is made by me and finished with oil, shellac, and wax to showcase the natural wood grain. Standard spools use acacia wood, with other premium woods occasionally available. See shop for more details and designs.

NEW DESIGN!
"Take" (Bamboo) minimalist line spool with coconut line clip button. 
FURLED LINES
I came across this line a few years ago. They come in both solid and variegated colors. These are not tapered but level lines. I cut them to 12' lengths, tie on a loop for the lillian and line loop at the other. These lines are great for people getting started in tenkara and who are having some trouble casting. They work great in the wind and I have used them myself for years. They aren't made for cold weather.

FLY DISPLAYS / TOOL CADDIES
Bring the outdoors inside with a one of a kind fly display or tool caddy.
I collect these right from the riversides. They are then cut to length and I drill holes for the "fly clips". Custom requests can be made for a tool caddy. |

TYING SPOOLS
These thread spools are each hand made and ready to put on your bobbin holder. These feel great in your hand and are based partially in a Japanese spool called a "Tama" (literally "egg"). Cool... you just learned something new! here to edit.
I created these because I use a lot of threads that come on larger spools not practical for my bobbin holder. They are also good for storing your yarns. |
TYING MATERIALS
Coming in 2024
HOOK REMOVERS
The hook removers are a wonderful tool for removing those deep throat hooks. Many fish are harmed when a hook cannot be removed quickly. To use the hook remover you merely run the hook remover loop down the line to the fly and are able to dislodge the hook quickly and get the fish back into the water. They feature a leather connector ring that easily attaches to a tether, or to a retracting reel.
