    @lukasphilippou7190 День тому

    Mono is great for bait fishing because its stretch means you have more margin for error when playing fish. It’s no good for lure fishing though because the stretch makes you unable to feel the action of your lure and leads to poor bite indication. Fluero is only really good as a leader for easily spooked fish due to its invisibility in the water. In conclusion braid for lures, mono for bait and fluero for some leaders

    Maxima Ultra Green is the best Mono there is. We use it for leaders for salmon and steelhead here in the PNW. Braid for the main line. Flouro is a joke. You don't need it for salmon or steelhead even in gin-clear water. You are giving fish too much credit thinking they know what a leader is. Flouro is weak and WAY too much money

    • @CanisMajorFishingAdventures
      @CanisMajorFishingAdventures 3 дні тому

      Agree. You noticed I showed that Maxima first! Interesting to hear about the lack of utility for Flouro on your fishery. It makes sense. There are a few scenarios where I fish where Flouro is worth it. Mostly bait finesse in crystal clear over-pressured lakes. Otherwise, I am with you as a braid-to-whatever is needed guy. Cheers!

    Hey All. Here is Part 3. Improper spooling wastes line and can ruin a day of fishing. Here is how to avoid the most common mistakes. Some people soak a newly spooked reel in warm water to release the tension. I usually do both to ensure smoother and longer casts. Please subscribe for more line tips!

      @CanisMajorFishingAdventures diamond fork river, Provo river, Ogden and weber rivers, scofield reservoir, Utah lake Spanish fork river, joe's valley reservoir, and high elevation lakes in the uintah mountains and boulder mountains occasionally. Utah has good fishing. But I often travel for work so I've fished Wisconsin and Texas quite a bit. I caught a few massive large mouth bass in a private pond in Texas, like 13-14 pounds massive. And I caught a smally in the st. Louis River that was the size and shape of a football. Biggest smally I've ever seen in real life.

    • @CanisMajorFishingAdventures
      @CanisMajorFishingAdventures 5 днів тому

      Sorry to hear that. What are your water temps? If very cold, I let the bait reach the bottom and then I give it a tug just enough to feel it chatter for a second or so and let it fall back to the bottom. I do this for the entire retrieve. I think it imitates a dying baitfish pretty well. Good luck! Hope to hear you have a good catch soon!

    I have two that I really like… when there’s little to no wind, a Zman 2.75” Coppertruesse TRD on a 1/20oz Jighead-Ned rig. I’ve had a blast catching huge numbers when more reaction style baits, and larger plastics, weren’t getting the job done. I’ve also landed blue gill and yellow perch over a pound on them and it’s a very simple lure to work with. My second might not sound “finesse” at first but I consider the blade baits a finesse version of the lipless crankbaits… I like the BPS Lazer Blade. The 1/2 oz still has a small 2” profile and the 1/4 oz is a tiny 1.5”. I caught my first, and only, 10 pounder last winter on the larger size and still caught good numbers of quality on the smaller one too.
