Uhg, yuk .. the sound of the metal scraping when you tilted it and put it back.. 😂 it drives me mad. Love the video my friend thank you for sharing your love and experience. Tight lines from the Salmon River, ny.
Thanks very much for watching and for your kind words. Tight lines Paul
Good video Paul. I was eyeing your reel up when we were fishing the other week and tbh I’m going to order the same one. Looked at the nymph but dry fly one looks more solid.
Sorry I just seen this mate. Aye it’s a great wee reel. Hope yours has arrived. 😎🎣
@@paulgarrigan2472 gave it a spin today bro but blanked, fished the dries for a laugh. Fair play to Neil, bringing fish up in that is near impossible
@@hungandhooked Aye that’s dedication 😆 Glad you got out for a bit.
Hi just found your review from a danielsson forum , I’m looking a new 4wt reel for March. My heads all over the place with brands like lamson liquid, redington zero, orvis battenkill and hardy marquis. I’m a dry fly angler and been reading abit about this reel. I’m based in Northern Ireland, looks to be pretty hard to find this reel online apart from there wedsite in Sweden. I think it’s coming in at over £200 now for delivery etc. how’s the reel faired up 3 years later? Are u still using it
Hi mate. Apologies for the late reply. I’ve just seen this. This reel was a great wee workhorse for me. I used it for a good 2 years. I’ve since moved it on and bought the Danielsson FW2-6. I just wanted something with a drag system. I keep meaning to post a review of that reel. They are only available direct from the factory in Sweden. Hope this helps and good luck with the search. Tight lines. Paul
@ hi no problem mate , just to let u know I got the dryfly reel, looks good, got it from Sweden for £136 postage and all, look forward to using it , thanks 👍
@ for that money it’s the best value wee reel about 😎
Great review of this thanks very much. I’ve been swithering on getting one of these for my 10ft 3 weight Euro Nymph rod for use with a French leader setup and I think I will go for it 👍
Thanks very much for the kind comment and I’m glad the review was helpful. Tight lines. Paul 🎣
Less is more. Great tips thanks Paul.
Thanks very much for watching mate. Appreciate the kind words. Tight lines 🎣
cracking fly and great demonstration of the magic tools awesome video
Thank you very much for the kind words. 😊Glad you enjoyed it. I’ve actually done really well today on my local fishery with this pattern. Appreciate the comment 👌🎣
I like especially the scarce amout of deer hair fibers that you use for this fly. I am thinking that this fly can also be tied with numerous other dark colors,. Thank you for your excellent tying demonstration, MSG Leum
Thank you very much for the kind words. Yeah you can tie it in any colour you like to suit your own fishing situation. I’ve done well with a light olive body for early season olive hatches on my local river. I’ve also found a claret body useful on our hill lochs. Thanks again and tight lines. Paul 🎣
Nice pattern will give this a go Cheers
Thanks very much for watching. It’s a good pattern to have in your box when they are being a bit fussy. Tight lines Paul
Excellent work
Thanks very much for watching. Hope you give it a go. If you haven’t already you should check out Bob Wyatts books. Tight lines. Paul
"improved", ok mate...
😆 Thanks for watching. 😎👍
Call it a Shipman's Variant mate,lol,nice tying👍
Thanks for watching John. All good fun. 😎😆
Its called a shaving brush in Oz
Thanks very much for watching. Yeah Bob fished a lot in NZ so I’m sure he may have been influenced by them and the good people of OZ. Tight lines. Paul
Your all over the place in your string of thoughts. Write a script and practice it.
Thanks for watching. Tight lines. Paul
I don’t recommend this, I tried and hooked into 3 fish and not one of them broke the loom band and lost them shortly after. After that I tried actually snapping them myself and the pressure to barely snap them was waaay too much, maybe it’s just the brand of loom bands I used but just went back to 3lb fluruocarbon. Just my opinion but being honest!🎣
Thanks very much for the reply and for watching the video. I’ve never had that problem. All the loom bands I’ve used work. Good to hear another point of view tho. Will definitely let people make an informed decision 😎👍
What knots would you use to attach the nylon to rings please?
Very nice!
Thanks very much. Tight lines. Paul
without a hackle this fly will not float and sink like a rock !
Hi Kenneth. There are loads of flies that at designed to float without a hackle. Eg. Shipmans, DHE etc. they are all designed to sit lower in the surface film than a hackled pattern. At times this can definitely turn refusals into solid hook ups. The material used in this particular pattern and the hook choice ensure it floats. Give it a go. Thanks very much for watching the video and tight lines 😎👍
Nice reel but have I missed something, if it has no drag don't you get over runs? Me, I'll stick with my 30 quid Shakey Sigma Supra I just love to hear it sing when a good fish takes off. Tight lines
Hi Keith. No the reel it’s free spinning like a centrepin so it doesn’t over run. There are loads of click and pawl trout reels on the market with no drag. There is a school of thought with h says there really isn’t much need for a drag system for UK river trout fishing. I’m glad you like your reel and I hope you hear it sing plenty! Tight lines and thanks for watching. Paul
Took a chance with a 30 quid Shakey,surprisingly sturdy nice little line holder!I only fish the local reservoir these days and it's only recently that I get them "on the reel" and let the drag do it's job.
A KLINKHAMMER HOOK !!!!! or STRIP YOUR OWN 😉 I use an eraser and rub it against the grain and the barbules comes off very easyly. much cheeper this way. I would use a blinker 16-20 .
Thanks for watching. Tight lines. Paul 😎👍
A simple but wicked little fly.
Yeah it’s a great pattern. Thanks for watching and tight lines Paul 😎🎣
Tied some of these last night with breathers and some with white foam. Fished them today and they caught 6 out of the 7 fish caught today. Great fly and easier for me to tie than a klinkhammer.
Brilliant Scott. Thanks very much for the comment. I love that you had a few fish in them. Tight lines for your season and thanks again. Paul 😊🎣
What part of the world were you fishing in??
@@robertperman8967 Scotland
Hi, I'm from Sweden, and I've been using these reels since the 80s, first in the Loop versions, a tip is to loosen the tension when you're not using the reel so that the rubber on the bearings doesn't form pressing spots, if you get gravel and debris between the spool and the bearings when you fish, just dip the reel in the water and it is fit for fight again.
Great tip thank you very much. And thanks for watching. Tight lines Paul
Do the imitation ones work just as well. Thinking of trying them on an Irish river .
Hi. Yeah I use both the vision 110s and the copies. In my opinion the fish don’t know the difference 🧐 It’s probably a confidence thing tho. Fish what you are confident with and you will fish better. Tight lines and thanks for watching. Paul
Very informative many thanks.
Glad it was helpful!. Thanks very much for watching. Tight lines. Paul
Much better with a CDC wing!!
Thanks for the reply Jonathon and thanks very much for watching the video. I tie lots of successful patterns with CDC. It’s a wonderful material. However, for the DHE I find deer hair looks better, floats longer and requires much less maintenance. That’s the beauty of tying tho. We can all customise our patterns to our own needs. You should definitely check out Bob Wyatts books. 😎 Tight lines Paul
@@paulgarrigan2472 I've already read his books! I completely disagree with his and your views that CDC is high maintenance. Use good and enough CDC, treat with CORRECT floatant and it's as good as deer hair and easier to tie with. And how you think deer hair looks better than CDC as a wing?? I suggest you actually go and look at a real insects wing. Soft and transparent grey just like CDC.....deer hair looks like a bunch of sticks!
Very nice tyiing and great practical advice. people can get way too precious about making perfect flies. at least for actual fishing! :-)
Thanks very much. Yeah couldn’t agree more. I love to tie ‘fishing flies’ 😎👍
Interesting concept, but wouldn’t you be better off placing the hook on the rear of the lure? Lot less faffing and usually it’s the rear of the lure they go for. Thanks
Thanks for watching David. Hook up rates are much better with the hook positioned in the middle. I have discussed this with various ghillies and better salmon anglers than me. Most agree that Salmon in particular will take the lure side on. If you had one hook in the tail you would miss most of these takes. This, in my humble opinion, applies to Pike too but we are allowed two hooks on a pike lure in Most Scottish Lochs. Tight lines Paul
Thanks for the reply and I’ll take that on board 👍

Thank you for you insights and knowledge in regards to this remarkable reel. I finally bought a Danielsson. Mine is a Loop Model 2 no. 4461. I bought it for a good used price. Like yourself, I always wanted one but at the time I couldn't afford it. As you said, it is vital not to expose the reel to silt/sand/mud. I learned this the hard way and partially bent my spool due to the roller bearings locking up onto it when trying to remove it. I hand straightened the spool out but it took some time and patience to fix it. Regardless, I'm happy to own one and plan to fish it hard.
Thanks for watching and tight lines Paul
I like quality in a reel. No need for a train stopping drag below 7 wt and fishing for trout. Give me quality and good design. I love the fact they still produce these reels today. I also like that danielsson is producing these and not outsourcing to any other country and simply applying their name. With such a long production run they certainly nailed it the first time out!!!
Thanks for watching and tight lines Paul
I find it astounding that this excellent fly isn't more well known and used. I first tied it 20 odd years ago after seeing it in one of Bob Wyatt's articles in FF&FT magazine. My late father and I enjoyed immediate success with it on our club water. Our grown on rainbows bow waved after it before nailing it with a thumping take. Your video has brought back happy memories.
It’s a proper fish catcher. I still bump into people on the bank who ask what I’m using and when I say DHE they have never heard of it. Thank you very much for watching and for the kind comments. Tight lines Paul
David Benjamin.......it's not as good as a CDC fly.......a CDC soft hackle dry fly pisses all over it!
Great fly . Got it from a Paul Proctor version in Trout & Salmon 10 years ago . Very similar to yours. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Anything Paul Proctor recommends has to be a winner! Thanks very much for watching. Hope you are having fun with those cracking Irish trout. Tight lines Paul
PUAL that looks the good m8
Thanks Gavin. 😎😎
Hi Paul could you send me the link for the loom bands Thanks
Hi Chris. Thanks for watching. 👍 I just got mine on eBay. Just search ‘loom bands’ and you’ll have loads to choose from. Tight lines Paul
@@paulgarrigan2472 thanks should get them today 🎣👍
Vision 110
The vision 110 is a great bait! 👍😎
@@paulgarrigan2472 yea it has it's days for sure on the water 👍
agreed I just had a 14lb springer a few weeks ago on a Kinkuro.
@@Quint1975 cool well done 👏
@@johnmulligan7853 cheers, heart stopping and very lucky to get one this time of year.
Pretty much the only dry fly I tie anymore. Crank out a few a piece in sizes 12-16 and I'm set for the month. I've been tying his "2.0" version though. It's even simpler and faster. Not gonna sell in a fly shop for it's looks though haha. I like to add a trailing shuck out of antron. Cheers
100% agree! It really is a special pattern. 👍 I’ve been doing them with olive body for the LDOs but I’m not sure even that is necessary. I’d be happy to just fish it in original form to 90% of the rising fish I see. Thanks for watching Tight lines Paul
Great fly. Nicely tied. Like the colour code. Wish I had used it:-(
Thanks very much Len. Glad you enjoyed the video. Tight lines. Paul 😎
Hello. The zonker piece you put in the magic tool, is it cross cut or regular ?
Hi Branko. I have always used the regular or straight cut zonker. I think that gives you a better action as the direction of the hair is straight off the hook. I just use the same piece for the body in the magic tool and I am happy with the action it creates. Plenty of movement. I have never really had any reason to change it to the cross cut. Hope that helps. This fly is well worth tying without the bead as well. It changes the action again and is another option to try on an intermediate or sinking line. Hope this helps. Thanks very much for watching the video. Tight lines Paul
Where’s the gold tinsel from mate?
Hi Mark. That tinsel in the video is an old spool I’ve had for years. No name on it. Believe it or not I actually finished it today. I like the Lagartun tinsels for traditional stuff and when I replace this, that’s what I’ll be buying. Medium flat gold should be ideal. Tight lines Paul
All time great there Paul. Always fish these with confidence. Often picks up the better fish. Nice one mate.
Thanks Shaun. Yeah it really is a classic fish catcher. Never far away from my leader during the course of the season
good chironomid
Thank you
Great video, tied my first dry fly today thanks to you and it looks great.
Thanks very much for the kind words Jack and thank you for watching. I hope you get a few fish on this fly. It’s a great pattern. Tight lines Paul
I agree that a full drag isn't needed for most (if not all) UK trout fishing, although I still use a dragged reel for #5-#7 lines when fishing large stocked rainbows. For wild brownies and lighter river use I, like you, enjoy a simple dragless reel. My favourite over the last few years has been the Sage Click, which has a super-large arbour, is beautifully made, surprisingly robust, and weighs only 88g in its largest (#4-#6) size, an important consideration if I'm carrying into the hills for a few days wildcamping/fishing. That triple-roller arrangement on yours is fascinating!
Thanks for the reply David and watching the video. Yeah finding the right reel is a journey! All part of the fun. 😎👍
Paul I really like that, If you ask me I would say it is an improved shipmans. It only takes a slight tweak to make a big difference. Thank you so much for a heap load of inspiration. I have just subscribed just on that, but I hope you will give us some more of the same. Thanks so much mate. Shaun.
Thanks very much for the kind words Shaun. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I will definitely be adding more in the near future. Tight lines Paul
Fairplay man👍
Thank you 😎
Super fly, looking forward to more.
Thanks very much for watching. More to follow 😎👍🏴
When I bought my Danielsson Dryfly it was sold as a Loop in the U.S. This was more than 25 years ago. So my long time review is after about 25 years and I still love it, (and beat the crap out of it).
Thanks for watching. Great reels. 😎👍
how do you switch the reel from left or right hand retrieve or is it just done by winding it either way without making any adjustments?? Great video!
Thanks very much for watching. Yeah the reel has no drag to speak of so you would just put your line on the other way. When you add tension using the middle screw it tightens it when turning the handle both ways. Hope that makes sense. Tight lines Paul
Nice fly👍
Thank you. It’s been serving me well the last few weeks when the fish have been on the buzzers 😎🏴
Great pattern, Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching. Hope they bring you a few fish. 😎🎣
Paul, what size split rings do you attach to the size 8 barrel swivel, can you recommend good quality split rings and swivels please. Fantastic and informative video.
Thanks John. Very much appreciated. I have used mustad 6mm split rings for years and have never had an issue. I was recently given some VMC extra strong split rings to try. I think the size 2 are 6mm but worth double checking. These are excellent too. I would definitely recommend using a well known manufacturer for end gear. Especially for salmon. After all we wait so long for a fish it would be sickening to loose one on poor kit. Tight lines Paul
@@paulgarrigan2472 Really appreciate that Paul.
Nice video, well explained.
Thanks very much. Tight lines. Paul
