Ichiban Kebari (Size 12, 3 Flies)

$7.50
Description

The Ichiban Kebari is a Takayama-style fly that combines time-proven features into a versatile and highly effective attractor pattern. Designed with purpose and built to perform, it’s a confidence fly trusted by tenkara anglers around the world.

This pattern features a reverse-facing (sakasa) hackle that pulses and flares in the water, imitating movement that triggers instinctive strikes. Two crystal-pearl glass beads provide just the right amount of weight for fishing shallow to medium-depth waters—perfect for the conditions where most tenkara fishing happens. These beads also add sparkle and flash to catch a fish’s attention without overpowering your presentation.

The Ichiban’s red-colored body is a proven trigger color, eliciting aggressive takes across a wide range of water clarities and light conditions. A peacock thorax adds iridescence and contrast, further enhancing its appeal. Whether you’re fishing upstream dead drifts, downstream manipulations, or anything in between, the Ichiban’s generic attractor profile and carefully balanced weight make it a go-to choice for nearly any situation.

Sold in size 12. Three flies.

All Tenkara USA® flies are tied on barbless hooks.

I love tenkara flies just working them in the water is a nice change and they seem to attract more fish with the reverse movement
