@@panteroidtv7310 Hi, thanks for your comment👐 Do you mean Fluoro Carbon line? I use fluoro carbon for the complete leader. I hope it answers your question. Have a great day.😉

@@thecreativeangler5802 Yea, thanks, here we do it kinda different :D

@@panteroidtv7310 Thats ok😉🤗👍

@@jdpease1919 Hi I basically took 2 pieces of hard wood and drew a papered line on each side. In other words a line that is half the size of one bamboo strip. So when you put the two wooden planks together side by side it is the same dimentions and shape as one bamboo strip. Then I just plane it down with a planer 60 degrees angle and put the 2 pieces of wood together and you have a tapering triangular groove. I hope it helps.🤗

You can then clamp the 2 pieces together to make sure they don't move.

@@vikendpecaros8403 Thankyou😊

@@callumnoblett4905 Hi Callum Yes I tie all my flies myself. I use foam combined with deer hair etc. It's called a rubber bead stopper. I use it for float fishing mainly. You can get them bulk from most fishing shops, Amazon, Aliexpress etc. They are cheap. I use the small size. They have more grip on the line. I am in Germany Regards Adrian

Hi, howzit?😊 Thanks for the well wishes I appreciate it. Are you in the Uk? I was there for about 4 years. From 2004 till 2008. Good memories😉🙌

Yes, I treasure all my fishing memories and also enjoyed fishing in the UK. Some very nice fishing there.

@@Kacamatagombal-wz5lw Hi, unfortunately it will be difficult for me to do a full tutorial. I only built this one reel as an experiment. At the end of the day it's a lot of work and not really worth the effort. I am planning to do 3d printing where I can rather print the parts using fusion 360 to create the plans.

Hi, maybe you should watch this other video I made also about the "Dry dropper rig".

You are welcome🤗

"Rubber bead stopper" for float fishing. You can buy it cheap from Amazon

Thankyou👐

Sure, that would be great.👐😉

Great👐 I am glad you got the ingredients and look forward getting feedback on how your trip goes. Sorry about the fish that was removed. That must have been dissapointing. I can just imagine. Looking forward hearing from you.😉

Great👐

You can also check this video out where I explain the setup and Dry dropper rig😉

Hi David. Yes that is the first one I made. I also have a video with the second bamboo rod I made. They are now my go to rods, because I custom madw them for the conditions I fish in. Stronger tips for snagged flies and shorter 7 foot rods for dense bushy areas.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5LWgomLj6drnZYsi=W35OMHJ2CDxX9Jx5

It's hard work to make these rods especially if one use simple basic tools, but I have them now for my kids to use in the future to, because they are strong and tough.

They turned out amazing! I am trying to track down books and videos. Where did you get your culms from? Did you have a specific site you use to get materials?

@@TheCigarHive I have a CAD program where I made my own drawings. I did use some specs that I got from the internet. I tried to keep it simple. With thw Cad drawings I could accuratelly get measurements at every 10 to 15 cm. Most of the work on the bamboo strips I did scraping with a Stanley blade. I got a good piece of bamboo from my local hardware store for 15€. I made 2 good rods from it and even heve enough left to make another rod.

Thankyou, I appreciate it

Hi, I'm not 100% sure.. I guess maybe 1mm or a little bit less. It fits tightly over the line. The main thicker part of the leader doesn't taper so the small tubing's friction on the line stays constant. Use whatever tubing you can find as long as you are able to fit it on the line effortlessly. The rubber stopper is the one that causes the resistance or drag you want preventing the fly to slip. I hope it helps. Have a great day👐

Thankyou

Great👐Thankyou. You can also check the link below for another angle on the same setup. Have a nice day😉

Thankyou😊

Thankyou

?

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Thanks for your message. The line actually goes straight through. If it is slightly at an angle it's not the end of the world. The fly should just be able to slide effortlessly on the line. Cheers I hope that helps.👐

That does help me picture it. Thanks for your quick reply. I’ll play with it and am sure it will work out. 🎣

@@davidvalle-schwenk1555 I'm sure you manage. All the best. Let me know if you struggle with it, then I can attach a fly and take close up photos if necessary 😉

Thankyou👐

Can't

@@scottwinfrey5436 Hi Scott I am basically cutting a small piece of +- 2 mm of the wire and then I feed it through the line first. I then just push the hook through it in a way that it's well in line withe the fly shank. When one hold the fly as a whole between your two fingers you should be able to slide it up and down the line. Check out my other how to video please. Have a great day😉

Thankyou. You can try Amazon in your country. They have a wide variety of rubber stoppers. Kind Regards Adrian

Try to look for float fishing rubber stoppers.

My pleasure🙂

For sure. I agree. I enjoy nice tackle etc, but like you said the fish only sees what is in the water. My motto has always been to buy the best gear that you can afford. I enjoy a challenge sometimes to see how creative I can be catching a fish with tackle that are entry level and not fancy. The bare minimum. I find it more rewarding. I am not into all the brand name stuff etc etc. When that becomes a priority then I think one misses the simplicity and essence of fishing. Just my opinion though🙂

Exactly, thanks🙌

Hi John. Whao, that sounds interesting. Is it possible to upload a photo of the fly with the no eye eyelet? It would be very interesting to see. It sounds like a good idea🙂🙌

I will try, I use the smallest size eylet. They can be found on Cabelas . I use two needle nose and bend the eye up slightly. Then insert it between the body of fly and shank of hook till only the eye is showing, then run tippet through eye of fly then back along bottom of fly and through the eye of the eylet. Then I attach the bobber stopper. 6:22

Oh ok. I understand. I think they use those eyelets also to make hair rigs for Carp fishing?

Thanks. Yes for sure, I also like to travel light and be able to dash in and out. Otherwise it becomes a mission and I like to go fishing sometimes in the spur of the moment😉👍

Thankyou. Yes, I finished it and can't be happier with the end result. I will post a clip soon🙌🙂👍

Thankyou

Thank you😊🙌

Ok, so you know what I am talking about😄

@@thecreativeangler5802 😁🙏

Thank you, I appreciate it. Yes I won't trade my rod for a graphite rod. I am sticking with it😉

That sounds great. I haven't tried a 1 wt yet, but it sounds like it could be fun. Maybe my next rod😉 Have a great day🙌

@@thecreativeangler5802 Thanks. I think a 2 wt is probably the best-it can handle all kinds of small to medium fish. BI have a 1 wt as it was not possible to get a reasonably priced 2 wt at the time. Nut I am very happy with it. It casts beautifully and handles the sizes of trout I mostly encounter in tiny places. :-)

@@TERRYBIGGENDEN Yes, the 2 weight is a nice all rounder and I have caught moderately big Trout on it as well. I am also struggeling to find the exact rod I need and decided to build myself a 7 foot split cane rod. I'ts about a 4 weight, but also light. It is a great joy to catch and cast. Ideal for tight bushy spots and where there's lots of trees.

@@thecreativeangler5802 Sounds wonderful. :-)

@@thecreativeangler5802 That all sounds delightful Here they have opened up two adjoining river systems in the closed trout season-amazing. It is because local anglers get tired of not being able to fish for other species just because the streams have trout (an introduced species by the way). if a stream is a declared general trout stream, no one can fish for anything. So I have some gorgeous new places to try in out winter (now). :-)

Thankyou I appreciate it 🙂

Thanks, I really appreciate it👍

Thanks so much. I appreciate it.😊

Thank you 😀
