The fly fishing kebab should be easy to carry, accessible with one hand and gentle when releasing the fish. Practical head sizes are 45 x 40 cm and 30 x 40 cm, and useful elements are the short handle, aluminum frame, rubberized mesh and pinch rope. The choice is made in size, fastening and conditions by the water.

The head size is taken into account the expected fish and the place of work. The more compact landing net is easier to carry through bushes and in a long transition, but should give enough space for safe uptake. The larger head makes it easy to guide the fish, but adds volume and can hang vegetation. Check the depth of the grid as well, not just the external dimensions of the frame.

A short handle is convenient when the angler enters the water or can squat near the shore. At high shore it may not reach, so judge the real terrain. The frame should be smooth and without deformations, and the mesh should have no torn holes. The rubber mesh is easier to clean and restricts hooks from being hung, but still needs to be looked after after each contact with a three or barb.

Attaching to a vest, belt or backpack should hold the landing net securely without interfering with the cast. A rope with a pinch prevents loss, but it should not be so long as to get entangled around the legs or cord. Check to see if you can release the keppa with one hand and return it to place without taking off all the luggage.

When twitching, lead the fish to the net head-on and do not chase it with sudden movements. Keep the kebab low above the water until you've prepared the release. Wet the net in advance, do not leave the fish on dry stones and shorten the time out of the water. After the outing, rinse the net, remove the vegetation and dry it completely before harvesting.

Compare the kepa with Muharnic fishing, the general keps, heads and handles, the Spinning Caps and Bags and Cases. The size and fastening must match the whole worn set.
