This is the only Tenkara fly used by Mr. Katsutoshi Amano, a name readily recognized by Tenkara practitioners in Japan. Like most Tenkara masters in Japan, Mr. Amano sticks with one fly pattern, and his entire box is filled with the same exact fly - same size, same color. This Tenkara fly comes alive when underwater, especially if pulsated.
Mr. Amano's favorite way to fish it is to cast slightly upstream and do a 4 count up-and-down motion following the fly downstream. He fishes it under the surface; when the fly is pulled up its hackle opens up, when relaxed the hackle closes.Sold in size 12, three flies per set.
- Effective enough even for a one-fly fishing method
- Ideal for casting upstream
- Use a 4-count up and down motion downstream to lure fish
- Opens up wide when fished subsurface, closes up when relaxed
- Size 12, set of 3
