@@peejcj8 nah it’s slaunch donkeyyyy

@@ConeyIsland1952 hey that’s awesome! It gives way to bass seeing crank baits where they normally wouldn’t see them!

Very good question. From the fly line to the business end of leader is 30 lb mono. The end where I tie the fly is 16 lb floro. You want 70% of the fly line to be the butt section, then 30% to be the leader where the fly goes! I can explain more if you need me too! Thanks for the question!

What's the total length of the leader? Ty

@@mikestrate1468 depends on the water clarity. For clear water i use a 7’ butt section and a 3 foot leader. For muddy I’ll do 5 foot butt and like a 2’ leader

Awesome man! Glad you had success!

You’re most welcome! Very useful and simple knot!🪢

@@BigBirdFishin yes it is and everything you explain was very clear and easy to pick up. I just recently started using 4/6lb and was losing hook after hook 😂

@@danielketchum7853 thank you man…yes 4-6 pound line is incredibly hard to tie….

The fish was more important!!! I can always use my hands to paddle !!😂😂

I'm ready to go again but doggone I'm bringing a TN river barge next time

Did you try online? On their website?

@@BigBirdFishin unfortunately yes. They’ve only got one configuration right now. Not sure how often they restock but it feels like it’s been a while.

@@sledgehammerlion hmm…hate to hear that…all the reels I have are bass pro reels, but I may look at Abu Garcia, they’ve got some great baitcasters and spinning reels!

If you search on UA-cam, “witch’s broom, postfly” you’ll see his video, and I just mimic the fly, but the key is using a bit less of craft fur on the fly, making it slimmer similar to a Pogy or mullet….hope this helps!

Just watched it. Pretty straightforward tie. I live in SC Murrells Inlet and looking for flies for this season. Thanks @@BigBirdFishin

@@Jeff92656 no problem!

Thanks man! Yes they are a load of fun on the fly! Best bait for big trout has been the silver and white streamer fly

4 lb line is frustrating yes…best knot for trout would be the non slip mono loop knot but you just have to sinch it down lightly and seat the knot…

@@BigBirdFishin I’ll look that up thankyou! Question for you.. I’m doing some backpacking in the mountains will be targeting some big trout up there. I have a 7ft telescoping rod but I’m wondering if I should go with a 4 piece instead.. do you have any experience with travel rods?

@@ChristiannTyler all my rods are 4 piece. I’d go w a 7 foot in creeks, but it depends on size of creek. For small creeks 5’-7’ for big creeks, plenty of casting room, a 9’ works well…hope this helps!

@@ChristiannTyler oh you mean conventional rods???? No, I do not have any experience w those,..I was talking fly rods…but for mountains fly fishing can be where it’s at, because you can flip the fly line out w out having to backcast…

@@BigBirdFishin Heyy here! Yes I meant conventional rods. I’d love to try fly fishing down the line. I do have another question maybe you could help me with. I notice a lot of people using braid with mono/fluorocarbon on top. I understand a leader but why do I keep seeing for example 100yards of braid with 50 yards of fluorocarbon? Is there any application you can think of where this would be beneficial?

I don’t know UA-cam doesn’t promote my vids anymore

You’re ridiculous bro 🤣

I do not use a swivel! If it’s 15 lb line and above I use a clinch knot if it’s below that I use the improved clinch! I typically will use 20-25 lb test line on my leader for redfish, their mouths are full of little razor teeth…check your line frequently!

@@BigBirdFishin thanks for your reply, I'll try that.

@@kennethcaine3402 you’re welcome keep me posted

You’re most welcome!

For most trout, redfish and bass applications im using an 8 wt rod and reel…love the Orvis Recon 8W and orvis Clearwater size four reel! Very awesome setup!

You need to put it on em … you can cause it’s a single hook and they’re good and strong hooks

@@BigBirdFishin awesome, thanks for the reply!

@@jnorman975 No Problem!

They should have gave you a new reel…I always get the gear guard, but I’ve had my carbonlites for 5 years…lot of times w rod breaks people are using the wrong line for the selected action. Not saying that’s what happened w yours but many times it’s a big thing…

You’re welcome! Glad I could help!

Thanks!

I’ve never found found a knot better for any line that is 4-12 lb test that’s good as this one…vertically jigging however may require a non slip mono loop knot…let me know how the knot I’ve shown you works w copolymer

Yes!

@@BigBirdFishin thank you!!! I just changed it to the left and look better too.

Man honesty I don’t know what to tell you, because on mine I’ve made no adjustments and it’s been amazing….many times I find the 7 to be a good number on the left side for bass pro reels…try that..even loose brakes though, mine casts extremely well

@@BigBirdFishin I took it back to bass pro and they did a full exchange of the combo and I fished it for the first time today and it was sooooooo much better than the old one. Something must have been grinding up in the internals because the new one casts really well.

@@byzone0632 good deal. BPS customer service is usually very good. I’m glad…

Had the same problem.

Yes it does man, thanks for watchin!

Thanks man…blowups are awesome esp on a fly rod

Thanks man for subbing!

Doubling the initial loop is a great idea, I will certainly try that next time. Thankyou

I see it holds 180 yards of 8lb and 160 of 10…👍

Depends on situation. For flipping matted vegetation in dirty water, I choose 80 lb…for regular baitcast situations, frog spinnerbait ect…I go 65 lb…for spinning I usually go 20 lb but not any higher than that…

Actually salt strong has tested that theory and they can’t find reasonable evidence to support if knot wetting is better for the line or not, check their vids out…either way sometimes I do it, sometimes not, and I really haven’t found much of a difference, not to say tho that knot wetting is not correct and should not be done…

Thanks! Glad it was clear for you! I still use this knot

Can you explain to me what you mean?

@@BigBirdFishin No its that simple .Watch it yourself.

@@christophercook723 you’re talking about the advertising beforeeee the video? Like on almost every UA-cam vid?? Lol if you’re talking about that, no, I didn’t mean to do advertising on that video, I don’t even have enough views or subs to make money. Anyways I hate it was distracting for you…

@@BigBirdFishin 5es but it was dark more than usual and most you can skip adds after a shirt time. I an retired un Tfhialand and much more gobbledegook than usua Thought you might like to know as might be why not many subscribers. I will subscribe to help you.

@@christophercook723 hey thanks preciate it!

Thought so David…thanks

A lot of commenters on here have said that. What’s your own reasoning for a loop knot on a jig head? Are you vertically using it? On the fly I use the loop knot but I’m not applying as much pressure on the loop as I am conventional. And I’m using the shrimp horizontally instead of vertically….

@@BigBirdFishin I find that the loop knot gives the jighead and lure a free motion and movement, which does give it a nice and more natural presentation. The double clinch knot is a great knot. I use it on hooks and swivels. But it is just my opinion. Not trying to enforce anything on any one, but your point does seem valid though. Could give it a try

@@marcelovalongo7205 you’re good man, just tryin to pick other anglers brains…it all helps…I find the non slip mono loop knot a tough knot to tie on lighter lines and usually break the loop trying to constrict and tighten the knot, it’s very frustrating…

@@BigBirdFishin my friend. All I can say is keep practicing. I had the same issue when I started out fishing and making knots. Now, I find it really easy. It comes with time. I tie my loop knots on 15 lbs mono. And you're right. It isn't easy. But with practice you'll get anything in life right. All the best brother

How many times do you loop your tag line after you have passed the line through? I only loop it 3 to 4 times depending on mood😂 Maybe try less loops. It could help and shouldn't break

Yeah I didn’t have my measuring board w me that day and I wish I had. I would say just under or around 20🤷‍♂️ my record is 24”

@@BigBirdFishin I think the last one was at least 20

@@andrewsmith941 agreeeed🤣 did you see that incredible hit??!!!

It’s been tough to get out there cause of the wind and weather right now!

Thanks! We need some warmer weather back!

True…it is effective as well

You can purchase them online at a lot of places, and if you’re anywhere along southern coast, they have them at wal marts, and even some hardware stores in the fishing sections! Egret baits is the website but even Amazon Carries them

@@BigBirdFishin I'm on Vancouver Island, the right colour would make a deadly Steelhead jig. We have a bait ban on our rivers. Thanks. :)

@@allancrow134 there are many colors as well to choose from on their website … good luck!

Good idea man, thanks

It’s a great line when I need a quick knot in a pinch!

Haha! That’s so awesome man….I haven’t been able to go lately 🙁

😎✌️

Agreed still to this day!
