My NEW Favorite Tenkara Line Management System


Does Not Slide Around

These Double-Banded Ultimate Line Keepers are very low profile and light weight. They are easy to install and stay VERY VERY secure in place with no sliding back and forth due to its double O-ring mounting system and improved curved rubber grip pad on the bottom.

Easy Winding / Less Kinks

Your line will wrap around the ends in a rounded shape that will not kink your line after long storage. Plus you can secure the end of your line under the rubber pad to keep it from unwinding.

Fits Most Rods

This system will fit in your rod tube or rod sock for easy deploy when you get to your next fishing spot. Small O-rings are for thin rods and the large O-rings are for most tenkara rods. They even fit our MINI Tenkara Rods as shown in the photo below.

Includes 4 keepers (enough for 2 rods with 2 keepers on each rod), 8 small O-rings (for thin rods), and 8 large O-rings (for standard to thicker rods).

    So Much Better Than Easy Hook Keeper System

    I used to use the EZ Hook Keeper system which trend was started by Jason Klass. They were great in some ways but terrible in so many other ways. They were not invented to be a tenkara line management system but rather a HOOK KEEPER. Our new line keepers are created with tenkara line management in mind and fix the many issues that EZ Hook Keepers have.

    These Double-Banded Ultimate Line Keepers are also a huge improvement over the original Ultimate Line Keepers. Way more unmovable. They are a twice as long, so that may be a factory for some people.  

    Here are a few of the highlights of what makes our Ultimate Tenkara Line Keeper system so much better than the EZ Hook Keepers for tenkara line management:

    • O-rings don't slip off easy.
    • No little wheel attachment that breaks off, the keeper is a one piece part.
    • Won't pop off if you bump them or look at them wrong, in fact they are a little hard to take off. The double-banded O-ring mounts keeps it from twisting side to side or from flipping over like the EZ Hook Keepers do.
    • No more KINKY line! The wraps over the ends of these keepers is more rounded so it won't leave your line looking kinked up when you store it long periods of time.
    • Don't slide easy up and down your rod because these keepers have two O-ring Bands mounted to each keeper and a curved grippy rubber pad on the bottom that grips your rod.
    • These keepers allow you to secure the end of your line under the rubber pad on the bottom of the keeper so your line does not come unraveled.
    • You also get more for your money, for the cost of 2 EZ Hook Keepers you get 4 DRAGONtail Double-Banded Keepers (enough for 2 rods).

    My Favorite Line Keepers So Far

    These are my 3rd or 4th attempt to find a line keeper that I like, and so far they’re my favorite. They hold line really well for moving from place to place, and I love that I can slide the tippet end underneath one of the holders to keep it in place. When day is done I just leave them attached and can easily slide the rod back into its sock and tube. Great design by Brent; these things really work.

    Effective and very firm but compact and neat attachment

    I am a big fan of this style of line keeper, having used EZ keepers for more than a decade. This is about the most effective line keeper I’ve found.

    The critical attributes that good line holders of this type require are:
    1. First and foremost, suitable O rings - they need to stretch a bit but not too far, to hold the keeper in place firmly - many are too stretchy and some do not stretch enough, you need the goldilocks type, just right; and be not too thick to fit into the attachments on the holders, but not too thin either. The provided O rings are very good.
    Two sizes of O rings are provided and the keeper’s double banding with rubber underlay makes an extremely solid fitting that doesn’t rotate or swivel under tension.
    2. The design of the keeper - it has to fit on the rod and not want to rotate. Some designs do, so O rings struggle to hold it firmly. Until now EZ keepers was the only viable product. This keeper is designed better, as with double banding it can’t rotate or swivel when good O rings are used.

    The only downsides are:
    a) the double banded keeper mean you use 4 x O rings per rod, that’s a lot of O rings and possible failure points. Fortunately, ample are provided in the pack;
    b) only two sizes of O rings are provided, so if you have some larger diameter rods then you will need to source O rings from elsewhere.

    Hint - carry a spare O ring or two with you as the O rings degrade in the sun after a year or two or three- eventually they will break. .
