With tenkara, and it's fixed line, you need to have an appropriately light fail point in the tippet. Otherwise the fail point becomes the rod. A 12-17 bite leader might make sense, provided it can be cast with a lighter section of tippet between it and the level line. What is your rod rated at?
I don't have the slightest idea about rating. I asked Maxcatch for their strongest rod and that's the one I purchased. I may need to add a 8 pound section as a fuse in case I hook something big.
