I get that you are not into Tenkara. My suggestion was it is another option and little chance of loosing flies doing so.
You like to cast. You want to take the butt section and add tippet. It is not ideal to cast this, but whatever works.
The internet offers all sorts of suggestions, as I did, that is all.
Given the new information on rod length my choice would still be a 6' furled leader and tippet added to that. You can cast a furled leader just like fly line, but not loose the delicate taper like a chopped up leader and the fly line need not leave the tip of the rod to do this.
Carry on, tight lines
