For my nail knots, I always put on some kind of glue to strengthen the knot and help it run through the guides smother. It really helps me!
@michaelhazzard49013 жыл бұрын
You should always test the kind of glue that you're planning to use on an old piece of line both of monofilament and the fly line and the backing to make sure that the glue does not melt any of the fishing lines as this will weaken the rig and cause a break off

What I do is, I feed the end of the leader through one of the holes of the spool, and that way I don't need to fiddle around to find the end of the leader. Because if you just leave it hanging out of the reel, and the spool turns in transport, then you end up with the end of the leader again sticking to the fly line.

You need - oh well hi - now anyway - I would need backing on every reel. I have fought a lot of big fish - well salmon everywhere - and YOU NEED THE BACKING TO LET THE FISH TIRE OUT BEFORE YOU BRING THEM IN. There is stretch in the line so they can keep from tearing their mouth. But this video is awesome now. : )
@TheTwispAngler2 жыл бұрын
Oh - the backing should float so it doesn't tangle on the ground and bottom rocks. That's great. Oh - well that's only a issue if you loose the fish. Well it's just fun to think about fishing. Well what I'm saying is our line stays tight on the whole retrieve and it doesn't just hang out there. But what if there's a problem? Oh - hey it just remembered. It's our long casts that go errant. Great. Thanks. Bye now. : )
