    I tie straight 8 all the time! Mostly for bass! Salt straight 30 or 20! The perfection loop and double surgeons changed fly fishing for me. Rapala knot is a must! Will catch you more fish for sure!

      Might want to consider a class tippet if you have straight 30.

    The less turns on a blood knot also reduces unnecessary mass. Less mass interruptions in the line/leader, improves the cast and delivery of the fly.

    Just ran out of the premade mono leaders and they’re expensive for no reason. This video just came in clutch. Already have 30 and 25 fluro leader in my bag.

    I build my own too but taper them a bit differently. I use mono sometimes for floating flies and fluorocarbon the rest of the time. I cut the welded loops off my lines. It is always cool to hear how other anglers do it and you are clearly successful with your techniques. How to vids and product reviews really help others improve their game or get into the sport!

    🌴 good stuff bro , I tie my own to, I think you nailed it the only thing is I do tie direct to the fly line because the loops get hung up a lot and cause Flip Pallot said he got rid of loops along time ago , who am I to argue with flipper 😆 , and let’s face it store bought tapered leaders are expensive, yea there isn’t any knots to get hung up on ,or sometimes a weak knot from improper tying, never paid attention to if they were mono or floracarbon , 🤔 I thought that’s why they were expensive because they were tapered floracarbon, , can’t waittosee what y’all get into next , 👍🏼👊🏼

      I cut off the loops too, your butt section never changes

    • @Eric.Estrada
      @Eric.Estrada  10 місяців тому

      If you fished where I fished, that butt section gets destroyed and or dry rotted regularly. It definite lasts longer than a tippet, but still gets changed out at least every couple weeks.

    • @Eric.Estrada
      @Eric.Estrada  10 місяців тому +1

      Properly tied loops don’t snag or hang up at all. The issue is 95% if fly anglers connect the loops improperly. I should probably make that into a YT short. The proper way to attach a loop to loop connection.

      @Eric.Estrada  10 місяців тому

      @@Danielwelds That might be fine and dandy for Flip, but I base my advice off my personal experience. And I can guarantee you that my loop to loop connections are improving my fishing, not reducing it. I change my butt section regularly to make sure it's crystal clear. When you fish in the waters I fish, you'll see how nasty the leader / butt section gets when fishing in water enriched with engine oil.
