Simms Europe Customer Service is the worst I have even been unforunate to experience, they make you feel like a criminal when you question the build quality of their products even though the item in question (G4 Guide wading jacket) was faulty! I will never buy another Simms Product because of this treatment.

Jeesh dude get a glass of water and start over. Couldn’t even watch with all the throat clearing.

Wow...

that is great! I will do this for every cast at the start of each session now

Watched a friend of mine struggle with this and came across this video which helped. Definitely still a moment where I'm glad I fish barbless. Just gotta stand far away from my buddy before he hooks me next.

How long should my leader & tippet be? I think they are too long. When I tried this, I hardly had any line in the guides.

I've been using a 6wt fiberglass for Redfish for years and have landed fish to 27"

No comments since 22? I have the redfish and still rock it. Now in 2024, I wish Sightline would add a Large mouth Black Bass, a Catfish series, a detailed Brook trout, Bluegill, Seatrout and update some of the usual stuff. Its easy to get stale in art and there are so many new subjects to create.

Wow thanks, everything in 1 video

I’d be knackered after 5 minutes

So this video has been ups long time but it helps explain the difference between glass and carbon fiber , it’s the feel 👈🏼 I ended up switching to carbon for different reasons, I don’t fish fresh water anymore because saltwater interests me more and bigger fish , but then you make improvements to your tackle like carbon fiber for reasons like , it’s strength, it’s durability, the lightness when casting the flats all day especially with 9-10 -11-12 wt rods saltwater carbon rods have a stiffer back bone and this affects the casting of the line and here is we’re my problems come in “because you don’t get the feel” 👈🏼. You don’t feel the line load up , you don’t get the action of the rod because of the stiffness of the carbon fiber , and of course people say well put a heavier line on it or a longer taper with more weight, and I’ve done it , but it doesn’t feel right , like a glass rod , I’m trying to get use to my carbon rods in my search for sea monsters , but my glass rod will always be there to pick up the slack 👈🏼 literally 😆👍🏼

This is awesome I have a halve if a rod . What length is best? Is longer better? Thanks

Looks great until you try doing this with central tremors. Just about everything impossible then. Great tip though.

U probably drink budlight

I like thise patterns

Finally this knot can be done without using the mouth😊

this what i call a tutorial - amazing job! Thank you

The first thing that needs to emphasized in fly casting from a boat is to take the legs out of it. If you rock the boat by transferring weight between the feet in the casting motion, you will scare away the fish. Simple as that. Casting 60 or 80 feet at that point won't matter, because the fish isn't going to eat anything anyway.

Simms did say that they will be offering a sole replacement service. Not sure if it's rolled out. I love my pair of these boots. As mentioned, the laces are a *little* short AND The tongue could be a little longer to prevent fine gravel ingress.

Brilliant teacher.

Thanks a lot! 👍👍👌

Pulling out about as much line as you’re going to cast, clearing it and then stripping it back in is really important but not discussed. If you don’t do this, the line is going to be on the deck in reverse order of the way it comes off the coil. That is, when you shoot, the line that gets shot first is on the bottom of the coil and is going to tangle. Pull out, clear (cast it all), and then strip into coils. That will help prevent tangling when you shoot.

No rod should be worth 600 usd, ridiculous. I pay no more than 100 for that rod, period 😊

Best leader explanation, thanksgiving 👍

I have a helios 3d9 weight can that grand slam work decent in cooler waters? And is your helios 8/9/10?

Holy fuck

Excellent tips, thank you, all the best , David.

I just bought an SSR V and I'm taking it out tomorrow for the first time. It seems like a great reel, and for a bona fide spey reel, the price is really good.

What a great video!! Thanks!!

For sizing should you size up or sign down from your street shoe size?

“People will be throwing money at you on the river!” Works for me! lol

So helpful! Thanks!

Great

Can these boots be used for the winter and heavy snow?

Hi Louis, Like this rod. My question is final. What do you advise me? Orvis salt big game 9 foot #7 or, Scott wave 9 foot #7? I will use the rod for big perch, pike, aspius and for salt sea trout and sea bass. Price is almost the same, just like power I guess. What about recovering after throwing a line? Accuracy and that kind of things. Please help me for taking the right decision. Greetings and tight lines overthere.

Hallo Louis, That is a great review about the rod. Can you tell Me is that a 9foot 6 line or a larger rod? tight lines and greetings from The Netherlands

Picked one up today, thanks

What's the name of the reel?

Just did on hubby as we started vacation. Came right out he didn't even feel it. !!! You rock

Doesn’t get much easier. Thanks for sharing

What's the distance from the hitch face to the line where the hammock hangs (is how far out from the end)?

6:15

Works great in olive for pond bass.

The Centric 7wt is also an incredible 7wt just pricier .

dont see the point in a waterproof bag unless you carry your phone or camera in it. regular sling packs are water resistant anyway and everything you should bring in a pack is designed to get wet... plus what use is a waterproof pack when its raining and you need to open in. oh and chest packs are way better than slings

Not enough is said about this and it is a really important aspect of fighting big fish. Thank you.

Great presentation and to the point.

I came here after watching someone on TV struggle desperately without success to remove a hook. Now I know. Thank you!

If you place the toothpick where they lines cross it will just spin around that axis
