I wish my ignorant ass had watched this earlier today. I was fishing a snook popper but using it for bass. Long story short, I just did’t have the right leader and tippet. I got broke off on a huge largemouth. I thought it was my knot but then in the middle of the rock out I see my fly floating, that bass spat it out! I waited patiently till the wind blew it back over an hour later. I’m going back after trying my own leader! There’s some giant bass in that pit and I don’t think they’re accustomed to seeing fly presentations. Thanks for this video. It helped so much.

Question: On last leader you tie 0X tippet to 1’ of 12# leader end, is 0X larger than 12#? Most charts I use show 0X around 15#. I tie my own and MRO & Brians videos have really helped me understand the principles. Thank y’all so much for helping us fellow anglers! 🎣

The X rating has nothing to do with lb test. The X refers to the diameter. Pound test doesn't transfer energy. For sure he would never tie a larger piece onto a smaller piece. Feel free to call Pat at the shop if he can help further. He'd be happy to chat.

Terrific leader info for tying my own. Very much appreciated, Pat. I've searched the MRO vid library and have so far struck out. So here's the question: a technique for fishing poppers/streamers/divers on sink tip fly line. I get the reasoning for the streamers and divers. What I don't get is how or why you're fishing poppers on a sink tip. You and Brian have both mentioned this on previous vids and you specifically mention using it for the Umpqua Swimming frog and Brian using the Swimmy Jimmy here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4qbaJ15Zs90mKM. Perhaps an in-the-field video on fishing all three but most specifically for poppers? (ROAD TRIP!) Thanks for what you guys do, Pat. Oh, and Brian ... WHEEERE'S THE BOOK!?!

I asked Brian a question about using pound test for a leader and he claims you guys don't understand pounds it's only line diameter. Now your talking about using different pound line for leaders?
@Madriveroutfitters5 жыл бұрын
Hey Dave, thanks for watching! I think you're getting mixed up in semantics. On the packaging you have pounds and diameter. Pat is just referring to that as a title for the leader so you know what you're selecting. The important factor is the diameter. I think what Brian is trying to communicate is you'd never build a leader off of pound test, as most folks mistakenly do, e.g., if I'm fishing for a big bass, I want a strong fishing line. Well, that isn't important when building your leader. What is, is building a leader that will correctly deliver the fly, popper, or whatever to your target. If you'd like to discuss this with the guys who do the fishing, email the shop admin@madriveroutfitters.com, they'd be more than happy to talk more!
