Alex asked:
Do you typically feel takes while fishing a kebari, or is it almost always a visual thing with your line? I’ve been trying to fish kebaris more this fall/winter and am unsure if I’m just failing to feel/see takes or if it’s mostly due to lower fish activity or not casting to the right spots. Thanks!
I don’t know if I ever feel a take. It’s a visual thing. I concentrate on the end of the line (the spot where the tippet is tied to the line). If I see that do any kind of motion that I didn’t cause—a sudden stop, a change in direction, a tightening of the line, etc.—I set the hook.
