Thanks for the quick overview. I tie up my own but always keep the ones you are showing in case I need to give one to someone on the lake and get them fixed up. I might suggest taking a look at the Double Davy knot to replace the clinch. I think it's a lot stronger and has a ridiculously small size and very easy to tie. Again really appreciate your video. Will stop in on my way to BC in early Sept. Loren
Thanks for the tutorial. At 2:56 on the video you made some sort of loop and then stuck the peg with part of the loop into the indicator, could you explain why you did that and what that loop is all about ? Thanks
The loop is designed to hold the indicator in place until a fish eats and you set the hook. Once set, the loop pops through and the indicator is free to slide down the leader so you can reel your leader into your rod. The example he used was if your indicator is fixed at 12ft. it would be difficult to reel that fish in close enough to land.
I thought the swivel was just to get your fly down quicker and make changing tippet easier without losing leader length. The fly is going to keep that peg on the line. I don't know what size fly it would have to bee to make it through the peg, but I can't tie it.

Hey Paul, the swivel is what stops the peg from falling down toward the fly once you set the hook.
What model indicators are those?
Rogue River Slip Indicators. We currently don't have them online, but you should be able to find them or a similar slip indicator in-store.
Love a slip bobber
I like the Led Zeppelin in the background!
