- How to make your own trout spey or micro skagit rod is easy!! Converting your single handed fly fishing rod to a two handed fly fishing rod takes only a few materials and can be done in an hour or so. Trout spey and Micro Skagit rods are becoming more popular in the fly fishing world and for good reason, it's just a lot of fun! Also it's a fantastic technique for catching fish! Hope this video helps you convert your fly fishing rod to a double handed fly fishing rod slayer!
This is a great way to turn a flyrod into a trolling fly rod. Most rod holders will not hold a flyrod very well. The long butt section keeps it in the rod holder securely. Also, being able to use the long handle for pinning the rod while retrieving 100 plus feet of line with or without a fish, is a bonus.
Great video. 👊🏼 👍🏼🤙🏼
Huh. Didn’t even think of that! I know they make special holders for fly rods but if i could use the ones i have already then why not! Thanks for the tips 🤘
Such a cool project idea!
It’s a ton of fun! Can’t wait for trout to open here, lots of spots in want to get in with minimal casting room🤙
Fajny pomysł
Rock solid. Love the drill/lathe idea. Genius!
If it broke on the first cast, that would have UA-cam funniest of the year. Lol. But that is way too as solid to break.
Yeah the ole drill lathe trick is pretty useful. I do wish i still had a lathe in the shop though😆
I enjoyed every bit of this maker video!
Resourceful and clever.
Thank you, appreciate you watching it. Hope you give it a try. It’s a lot of fun casting!
Love it
Thanks man🙂
That was one of the best DIY videos I've ever seen! Nice work!!
Jeff, thank you for the kind words brother! It means a lot🙂
Very cool Milan. You might just have created ( Mini Skagit, Creek Skagit ). Please keep us updated on how it is working for you.
To be honest. It’s been a hoot! I went for jumbo perch and locked on a wack ton of them. It’s just nice to be able to cast on a boat and wading on the banks with no problem. I am compiling footage to make a good video about it(will still take some time). Anyways, hope you’re getting after it!!🙂👊
@@greenhornflyhorn Definitely will be keeping an eye out for it. Hopefully get out on Tuesday. Tight lines 🎣
Sweet conversation. Nicely done. 😊
Appreciate it! Hope you give it a shot🤙
Very good. As people realize there are many ways to customize, create rods, lines etc., they will also realize how ridiculous it is to pay over a couple hundred bucks for rods or over $30 for lines. It is also very easy to build rods from blanks too. If you know how to tie a woolly bugger you can easily wrap a guide too. No need for fancy rod building devices for a small production.
One recommendation for removing the end cap of the seat: you can also cut it off with a small saw at the last thread. Not only it is easier but also no heating involved. I would not recommend heating. The seat is a metal, and it is conductive. So, you may compromise more epoxy than you are intending. Also, when you are installing the cork butt, I would put epoxy to the tip of the "dowel "(just like you did) but also either put more epoxy or add a little silicone into the seat cavity to seal it. You wouldn't want any water seeping in.
Thank you for checking it out🙂
Cork or carbon tube are not expensive,bro😂
