Another cost saving method is to “flip” your braid. You can do this yourself, but I have my favorite tackle shop do it. Basically, the process puts the line that at the bottom of the spool on the top of the spool. It’s like having new braid at a fraction of the cost. Thanks Salt Strong!
Man great ideas. Enjoyed the free stuff so much I became a member tonight. Want to support the cause. Thanks fellas. Education is power and make you time on the water more enjoyable!
Awesome! We are so glad to have you in the Insider Community! Get into the courses as soon as you can, as that is where you will find a lot of solid help to start with. 💪
This is why I love and trust the insider club. You guys could easily not make it so well known how to conserve braid and reuse soft plastics, and in turn make more money in the short term in your tackle shop. But you constantly preach these cost saving ideas that help us. So rare these days.
Great respooling ideas! My older reels still have the old 30 pound braid as backing. I never thought about end swapping the top shot. I learned what you call a Nub rig when I had a gulp swimming minnow on my redfish magic that pin fish attacked. I kept using it until I got back to the tackle box and caught a redfish and then a spanish. So I learned to safe them as well. Great video!
Great information and awesome video 🔥! I have to start doing this with my soft plastics. Question… all the tests Luke did ( fluoro vs mono ) was he doing the tests with Ande monofilament?
I’ve Texas rigged shrimp from the tail but run the shrimp further up the shank and out the bottom. I like the weedless way you use. Does leaving the hook under the shell affect hook up?
So I totally loved the fact you proved Mono is more abrasion resistant against fish like snook and tarpon that have sandpaper like teeth. But I would love to see you guys show a test to see the comparison against sharp objects like oysters/barnacles, or even fish like mackerel or barracudas that have sharper cutting teeth instead of sand paper like teeth. Would love to hear what you find or maybe you already have. Thanks again
I know this is an old comment, but mono retains more strength with a nick in it than fluorocarbon does. So for sharp teeth, mono is still your best bet.
What was your reason for switching to spinning reels from bait caster? I grew up with spinning and all the guys I fish with in the Nor Cal delta fish with bait caster…is the main reason distance?
No matter how bad my lures get tore up I always keep mine and others just to bag them later based on similar colors and then melt and repour them Into whatever mold that I choose. I pick up alot of littered lures also just for this purpose and to also help do my part.
Great idea about using mono for leader. I re-use my old floro spools and put mono on them (they hold about 50-75 yards) instead of throwing them in the trash. < <
I worry about the men and women that make their living off the water. Let’s hope for them. If the hardheaded people in the White House would open the oil and natural gas lines--this would straighten out this mess.

Great videos- thank you for bringing the action to our screens - tight lines- PuraSal Angler 🙌🏻
Thanks!
Thank you soooooo much for posting this. Great info.
That weedless shrimp rig and the fresh water hook is brilliant! A bass worm hook would probably work well too.
Basically where I live (Portugal, Europe) its basically saltwater fishing, so I love you guys' content. Thanks
Thanks for watching! We appreciate the support in a big way! 💪
Thanks for all the great tips.
We're glad that you found the video helpful, Jean

Excellent content and explanation!
Very practical and useful.
Thanks!
We're glad that you found the video helpful! 💪
Great, money saving tips ! Tight Lines !!!
No problem Kenny!
Thanks for sharing! I would guess the FG knot holds to mono the same as Fluoro?
In all our testing it has been consistent. 💪
Love these hacks, would love to see more
AWESOME TIPS!!!! THANK YOU
You're welcome Jose!

At Naples Fishing Club we call the lure with the bullet sinker "The Legends Lure" good information.
Great information and awesome video 🔥! I have to start doing this with my soft plastics. Question… all the tests Luke did ( fluoro vs mono ) was he doing the tests with Ande monofilament?
Yes, he was using Ande mono to stay consistent unless otherwise specified. 💪

FG or Double Uni for braid to mono? TY
FG for us! 💪💪
Only thing I dislike about frozen shrimp is they seem to break apart easy but still works great.
very true, they can if they weren't frozen while still fresh.

Glad we could help!
Hello saltstrong pls try ULTRALIGHT SET UP 🤔
Let see big game !?
Talking about knots I have 14 knots on my fly line. I never worry about my knots.
First #2 in a row
You're on a roll!
I love to pinch off a solid #2! Great job!
What about greenbacks vs Shrimp? I seem to have much better luck with the greenbacks.

Bigger spool is better for casting further
True!
I surf fish alot use big spool much cheaper
Awesome! 💪
I get charging braid and trying the front, but not listing the back up with cheap mini. That's just wasting space
