Hot Spot Futs Kebari (Size 12, 3 Flies)

Description

When we approached Michael Agneta ofTenkara Anglerhis thoughts about adding a new kebari pattern to our offering, a futs style kebari was his immediate recommendation. While sakasa (reverse hackled) kebari may be the fly silhouette that comes to mind when one thinks about tenkara, the futs kebari may be the most versatile.

Futs kebari are stiff-hackled wet flies that are intended to be fished and manipulated toward the top of the water column. The stiff hackle provides extra rigidity and resistance, allowing the futs to anchor in place far more easily than a sakasa soft hackle, but can still be sunk and fished down to the middle water column with the aid of currents. Adding to the fun, a futs kebarihas the ability to move water around should you choose to twitch it against or across the current. This will create a commotion that actively feeding fish find hard to resist. Finally, with the use of a bit of floatant, a futs kebari can also be fished on the surface just like your favorite dry flies. The futs kebari is three different flies in one!

This particular version of a futs kebari combines three of Mike’s favorite colors and materials – a brownish, “buggy” yarn body to emulate a meaty insect, a red, hot spot attractor head, and a few twists of highly visible, stiff white hackle around the middle. If this is your first time fishing a futs, the white hackle will make the fly easier for you to see as you manipulate and/or drift it through the water. This Hot Spot Futs kebari set, skillfully tied by Tenkara USA’s fly tyers, makes it easy to join #teamfutsu.

Sold in size 12. Three flies.
