I’ve made about 8 bamboo rods from Tonkin cane. Like tying your own flies it adds to the experience. I have about 25 12ft culms in my garage that have been there since the late 90’s. In a couple when I retire I’m going to build them out.

Always used Hardy, click and pawl reels,for trout,salmon,and steelhead. They are loud,the drag is inefficient,ancient technnology. Perfect,pun intended.

I am still fishing with my original 1967 Model 1495 Pflueger Medalist I bought for $9.95 I believe. American made. Original parts. The drag never fails. I have caught hundreds of Trout , Steelhead, and Salmon in the last 50 years with it. It's been dunked in saltwater many times. On a whim, I bought a fancy very expensive reel 10 years ago. It lasted about 90 days. The new reels and rods can not hold up over time or years of strenuous use. I still use my fly rod which is an original SAGE 4 piece 5#. I received it in 1973! American made. Original guides. The guide wrappings have even changed color over the years. I fish to fish. Not make a fashion statement. No..they are not for sale.

Tired of the spinning reel. Need something simple. I need to up my saltwater fishing. Now i know. Thanks

To anyone considering this reel. I caught a ~20lbs chinook salmon and the drag held up to it no problem. I put it on the maxcatch salt pro 8wt as a backup rod, but I really enjoy using it.

No line is worth 80 dollars.🤣

Wasnt aware of the red lip detail before!

Thanks, that's what I've been drilling into. They're all made in China with different names. probably from the same factory

I own two of their rods and love them both. Really affordable and they definitely stand by their warranty.

I wanna fish for long nose gar from a sitting kayak what line wt and rod length would you recommend?

Meade county in the house !!! 270 0:34

Eagle Claw #1 take all trouts out rio oh yeah

Good Collection

That’s a nice reel you have in blue. 500 dollars?

i typed 4wt8umht48wutbvnhdrfogkfweia90ri8932 and this video came up 😂

2 tiny streams, 4 glass small streams, 6 wind, maybe 8 or 10 in future for salt flats / salmon

you didn`t show exactly how you did it.... not good

should i always pull back all the way everytime

Fish care less about where the flies are from as long as they bite that’s all that counts

Take a look at Joe Bradley and John Riveras bamboo rods.

I tie one similar to this, but use a few turns of wire to add some weight. I add just enough to have it sink just below the surface.

This video is all over the place. I thought you were going to teach me something.

I fish all tree materials regularly. What you gave, was a pretty good explanation, cooking things down to the basic.

The music was too loud.

Yeah, but how do I get all the bluegill from chasing and hitting the damn fly the whole time!?

thanks...nice fly

Is this frame still holding up?

That 1st rod and reel bought back 7 years ago and i still have it i did upgrade the rod and its my go to fly rod as it was my 1st fly rod and reel i have now 5 rods and reels

No sound..

You forgot the tippet protection..

Looks like a copper swan but egg sucking version

I make a crawdad pattern on a 60 degree jig hook with a tungsten bead out of nothing but a pheasant skin it can be stripped on 4/5 WT fly rod or dead drift it under a bobber on ultralight spinning gear. Look for it on Gunnar Bramers KZbin channel.

Little tip when putting your dubbing on don't go back and forth. Go in one direction and it'll stay on the thread better.

Hell yeah i gotta make one. I use spinning, fly and centerpin and have used this or anjig similar for all three and its great. Ive always put down a thicker chenille first and was curious if anyone did one like this.

Just wanted to let you know that I also love to shop TEMU also I have used the lures off TEMU and they're great

Thanks for the content. Crawfish seem to work on just about every fish in my area..

anyone have a picture or link to a reel cover that could be used with this? Don't want road salts etc getting to my reel. Thanks!

1:19 thứ bột đó là gì. Tôi đang trong quá trình tìm hiểu, trước đây có suy nghĩ về vấn đề con mồi bị ướt và không biết cách cho nó nổi sau cú đớp

Hey I know that stream!

Spawn looks more like Crystal Meth .

Could you give me a Link to this fishing rod please

Excellent language besides the good information! Thank you!

Who lot of talking no technical actions

I just bought a 9' 5wt first fly rod and watching this video is kid of making me regret my decision. But one thing i had in mind is to go upstate n.y to fish for salmon so idk if i made the right decision?

For a fly reel I can order one from Amazon for 30 bucks if anything go wrong with my fly reel one day shipping. I put more money into spinning reel or baitcaster reel from Japan

Hatch or nothing…..

There is no substitute for a high end reel ($500+). You get on a big fish or really any fish in the tropics and you’ll appreciate it. My first trip to the BVI I had a sub $200 reel and the first fish I hooked the drag was smoked. Some times you have to spend the money. Cheap Chinese made reels are a waste of money if you’re planning on them doing more than holding your line.

Love my 4wt 2000 Powell..light, easy, fun..agreed...it gets more use then my Loomis 5wt

Not a good video. You didn't show how to do any of it which is the whole point of the video.

You get ripped off by 90 percent of the people from ther
