The Takayama sakasa kebari is the Tenkara fly that completes our set of three flies. Offered in size 16, it's our smallest Tenkara fly. Unlike in Western fly fishing, where a lot of people believe a super small fly is necessary, Tenkara anglers hardly ever go any smaller than a size 16 for their fly.
