I appreciate the DIY and step-by-step, but I'm too lazy for this. How much you're selling them for Mark?🤔

[@MDLRFishing]

🧐 One Million Dollars 💸

Informative step by step.

[@brucebroussard1809]

Informative video for newbies Marc.

[@MDLRFishing]

👍

[@stevenortizdeorue]

That made so much sense going to make some new leaders now

[@Losdaman]

Nice video bro. I’ll be making some of these for my uncle and I. We’re due for some Gulf coast fishing this fall.

[@MDLRFishing]

👍

[@mikewolfe2876]

Let’s all try to raise awareness and use short leaders for bull reds to prevent gut hooking . Love the channel not being that guy just trying to inform people .

[@nickolasbilleau3598]

in my experience the leader length doesnt really matter too much, 3 ft is typical standard. gut hooking typically happens with j hooks and baits left out for an extended time without attention allowing it to be completely swallowed

[@billhobson6637]

Texas Parks and Wildlife specifies that you can’t use stainless steel hooks when “shark fishing”, and that would be up to the game warden’s opinion as to whether he/she thinks that is what you are doing. Wouldn’t it be smart to eliminate the opinion part by using black nickel and a non-offset hook as the regulations require for sharks?

[@JuanHernandez-mh1qw]

Thank you 🙏

Welcome!

AWESOME!

Thanks!

[@Randall935]

Thanks a million for the video. Could you link the some of the things you used, line, crimps, and barrel swivels?

[@MDLRFishing]

They’re all listed below.

great video

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks for the visit

[@purarazafishing]

Good video sir,

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks

[@earltheiss1927]

Nice. Wouldn’t have thought 300 lb.

[@doctordifferentialspeedsho9506]

How are you baiting the hook. You using a 1/2 a blue crab?

[@MDLRFishing]

Yes, through the swimmer and out of the lower shell.

[@rjwilson4379]

The braid main line is how many lbs ? No need for a shock leader ? Thank you

[@MDLRFishing]

I use 50 lb braid and a good 5 to 10 yards of 40 to 60 lb top shot.

[@MrSuperchargedv8]

I get snagged alot when I use that style of setup at the jetties in corpus both packery and port a....To counter act that and avoid losing the entire rig I was thinking of going with a very light swivel so that I can hopefully break it free when it does get stuck....are those weights your using a better alternative to the typical large spider weight commonly sold at tackle shops....just trying to lose less gear...lol

[@MDLRFishing]

The jetty doesn't discriminate when it comes to taking gear. When you fish close to the rocks nothing is safe. Egg sinkers are not an alternative to spider weights. They both serve different purposes.

[@drksyde72]

Can u recommend a good kit that has everything needed to make ur own leaders????.....

[@MDLRFishing]

I’ve listed the items in my video description to make things a little easy.

[@billylira3859]

And here i caugth a 34 1/2 black drum yestedday on 20lb mono and a shimano 3000 size reel 😂

[@MDLRFishing]

😂

[@davidbarta3219]

What size sleeves for 300 pound is it the 5/64 (2mm) mono.

[@MDLRFishing]

Yes 2 mm

[@mikevega541]

My son makes them for me 💪💯🙏

[@MDLRFishing]

🙌 nice

[@VJTrey1]

How heavy is the spider weights do you usually use?

[@MDLRFishing]

6 oz for my 10,000 reel setup and a 4 oz for my smaller 4,000 reel.

[@kodygrant2896]

I’ve always wondered why guys are putting size 12/0 and larger hooks on bull red leaders. Go anywhere else and the biggest hooks being used for bulls is a 7/0.

[@MDLRFishing]

Not sure but one thing's for sure, a 7/0 will get the job done 👍.

[@htownkicks2]

Why do you need 10 beads? What's the purpose?

[@MDLRFishing]

Not sure 🤔 but it’s what I’ve seen done so I try not to change things.

[@mehmetdtx]

why not just use gloves?

[@MDLRFishing]

You’d be surprised at what braid will cut through.
