Sakasa Kebari Underwater Video

Posted by on Oct 13, 2012 in Tenkara Videos | 7 comments

No matter how many times I see a sakasa kebari underwater, I’m always surprised on how alive they come underwater–with even the slightest twitch.  No wonder they’re such effective flies.  Here’s a quick video I shot today in both normal speed and slow motion to show how well the hackle moves in the water.

About Jason Klass


Jason is an avid fly angler and backpacker. As a former fly fishing guide originally from Western New York, he moved to Colorado and became an early adopter of tenkara which perfectly suited the small, high altitude streams and lakes there. He has not fished a Western-style fly rod for trout since.

    Love the video! Really shows how well the hackle moves but also how visable that red hot spot is.

    Have you done or plan or doing any underwater video of those snatcher flies?
    I’d love to see how they do.
