[@haussschelling7668]

[@Erikpdx]

The struggle is real

[@summerlakephotog8239]

Hauss Schelling haha. 🤣You said what I was thinking. Gear, gear and more gear.

[@travisrolando8205]

[@smokinhic]

Haven’t plunked for steel in a long time. Was good times for sure.

[@harolddallas2959]

[@tinadoherty422]

[@user-bw4qk5oz3i]

This was good explanation thank you I enjoy watching you 👍

[@scott6bartley496]

I slay the steelhead on the cowlitz late February March plunking watermelons Spin glow 3 small beads and Sand shrimp unbelievable action When the fish are moving

[@jopaul93]

thanks for this one

[@AleTapia-wd8jq]

The best fishing channel.

[@Ribo-qj1ud]

I don't know too many anglers that plunk for steelhead.... but I know they are out there....I normally like plunking to be lazy when out chinook or high water coho.... great info for any fish your plunking for though guys... loved it

[@GetRichBuyGuns]

great demonstration

[@efam7349]

Nice demo .thx

[@jt5626]

Thank you your videos are great!

[@pewee5596]

Imma try this first chance I get 🎣🎣🎣

[@DESERTSTATELINEANGLERS]

That rig set up is very killer to catch walleye

[@dlmad4561]

love your video's

[@rockytalkndawoods3057]

I freaking need this video!!

[@zebthielbar4602]

Plunked today and finally caught one!

[@Bearkiller711]

Amazing.

[@ericmoore431]

Was plunking at the dam today with a spin & glow and a meal worm on the hook and pulled one in. Nobody else was catching anything. Sometimes it pays to switch it up 🤘

[@mikehoefer1827]

Grey ghost spin/glow. Killer on the Rogue.

[@avidanglerorobsession6127]

I enjoy when you do videos from the bank and you should com and fish thé Skeena or dean

[@jodybasham5351]

Spin-n-glo with a pink worm has been deadly here on the Umpqua. Went 10 for 14 last weekend on the lower river.

[@danielcole8609]

We all know that Cameron really didn't have any bait on that Rod so he wouldn't catch a fish and make Marlin feel bad.

[@nwfishforage5158]

Looks like the umpqua where I go fishing. I need to go soon!!!

[@gregoryatchley4051]

Looks like a local river I know

[@philhildebrand9266]

Nice vid Cam. Was looking at local regs to see when i can get out next, has anyone tried steelhead in a bay? Puget Sound feeds my local rivers and has an opening so i am curious of how i might attack them.

[@dennis2146]

This is the first video I have seen from your company. I really enjoyed it especially since I have never fished for steelhead but would like to do that. You offer a very well done video presentation. I found myself watching your rod tip in case you got a bite. Where are you located? Tight lines.

[@Radeo12]

Wow great little tutorial on plunking! Can you also plunk weightless?? Maybe just add a few split shots on top of your spin glow and then a hook and bead? That might also work. Who knows. 🤣 Great video as always!!

[@bushape2591]

YAHHH plunking is hella good time Dibley beach Rainier Or.

[@adamderby4922]

Same thing on the Washington side near county line!

[@richardness4469]

Will system work in salt water, Bush point, Whidbey Island

[@FlyTech541]

I just caught my first steelhead on a tiny nymph crazy! I had all my gear that day also spinners plugs eggs now I wanna catch one off spinner gear but it seems harder

[@RenegadeBeef]

How many here keep switching from watching him and watching the rod tip?

[@conradmarch804]

I am thinking of upper Columbia/Roosevelt trout fishing and how to apply these techniques, slower, lighter and spin n glow. Stay tuned!

[@PinkBlondeBarbiexo]

Can I do that set up with a shrimp or roe bag with floaters in it ? Also do I need a bead chain ? ❤😊 I’m kinda new to this

[@anthny6912]

Can you recommend a rod to me for float fishing for fall/spring chinook in rivers?

[@timothyalton3821]

7-10 foot spinnng or centerpin reel 10lb. mono

[@ML-ks2lj]

I'm allowed three poles here I usually setup 2 and cast with one. The river we fish is like 14'-45'.deep depending on the section fishing. Very strong current. We use 2 pound weight to keep our gear from bouncing down the river. Im not a huge fan on that weight and wear and tear on my reel and it takes from the fight of the fish. And 99 percent of the time "tight lining" is a mortal hook up on the fish. So if I do setup like that I'm going there expecting food on my plate for a couple days. If I want to catch and release I'll only take my lighter gear for casting or bouncing or whipping

[@Rt2comments]

Could u add a bead right behind the slide and add a plug?

[@manfredbuchholz7126]

this works tie on a roe bag or a small pink marshmellow bang your on !!

[@caleblynch4814]

What size weight should I use

[@clarkriccobuono3903]

Great video Cameron. One question, some use a 3 way swivel and drop their weight about one ft. You prefer slider above the swivel? Why?

[@brendanwoerner3352]

I would answer this as saying this is more of a east coast technique. You can literally put the clicker on and have your reel in freespool and the fish swims away with the bait and feels no resistance. Thus allowing more time to set the hook. I would add that I would switch to a barbless circle if possible depending on your local regs to allow a easier hook set and doesn’t hurt this fish if needed to release and you never really lose a fish if you have the correct size hook.

[@wallmunky503]

How do I keep my line from fouling up?

[@karlliechty5262]

Can you plunk in high water with spinning rod? Recommendations for rod & reel?

[@speedbird1598]

Oh yeah! I can't give a good suggestion for the best rod/reel, but anything heavy enough to safely cast the weight you are using. If you are gentle you can cast over the limit by a little.

[@TheTruth-ge7fj]

yes, this rig is great when is 30 below degree weather because you won't deal with frozen eye in your rods

[@thundarpheeshy]

you forgot the bell

[@Klips360]

What river is this

[@legionssb777]

My man here better not have associated braid with abrasion resistance... fluoro is abrasion resistant, braid will get frayed and cut super fast on rocks lol

[@charlesmeyer8113]

Since we are worried about gut hooking would a circle hook work?

[@garlichoto4669]

Can you do it without lead weights since it's a high probability of losing it? That's a lot of lead you are poisoning the water with

[@TheTruth-ge7fj]

try a big metal something.

[@inmotion81]

Kokanee videos and how too please

[@cluelessfisherman4555]

You guys should show how to run a double rig setup with a spin and glo and a plug....that setup has been deadly for me.

[@shanghunter7697]

Never saw a fisherman wearing gloves to handle bait/sprays is this an OCD thing or are these bait/sprays toxic or ?

[@westcoaster3763]

keeps human scent/oils off the bait. Might help increase your bites maybe

[@mikebutler5395]

I have watched a few of your video's and I don't see many fish on ? I can send You some of Mine with Fish. Also I don't have any Sponsors to support Me just the fish. I fish the MIDDLE ROGUE.

[@snook91901]

"we'd love to have you as a sub"

[@grahammcgee5775]

What’s that lure called

[@tarkanozer9692]

2.5K comments I wonder who forwarded this to the ATF lol

[@TheCoreTurbo]

If no fish is caught in the video I assume it doesn't work

[@AddictedFishing]

You know what they say about assumptions...

[@MINITMANRADIONETWORK]

Those darn steelhead won't read the script.

[@stephenblakely9804]

Braided lines??? Nose pickers!

[@ryancather8106]

Ohhhhh he dropped a river name beat his a$$ LMAO 🤣 jk

[@tylerdfoust6071]

I think you guys give great tips and I really don't mean any offense, but why aren't you showing us that your rigging and techniques actually work by showing a couple hook up's? I feel like you're advice is great but it's missing the reason why I watch fishing videos.

[@MINITMANRADIONETWORK]

Lots of their other videos actually show catching and not just fishing.Check out their whole channel.

[@davenotyerb4923]

A tutorial is more convincing when there’s a catch included with it. I know that this rig works well though.

[@oregonsurffishinghi-way1016]

where s the fish.... lol....

[@pxmediamike]

You guys use rubber gloves? :(

[@dlmad4561]

your shipping fees are to damm high

[@AddictedFishing]

dlmad4561 What we’re the charges? What we’re you trying to order?

[@chrishyson1900]

Everything made sense but e braided line...I’m speaking from experience don’t use it..tangles way to much ..25lbs maxima mono slays 10ft 6 set up

[@aluptown]

If the fish are there they will bite anything ? Never used these dyes ? Junk !

[@SirPraiseSun]

Man that rig is so complicated how about just throw a maribou jig n be done w it...

[@kenneth4483]

Is anyone else realize that he didn’t catch a fish?

[@brandonhenifin4802]

Oh he didn’t catch a fish every single time? No way. We should sue

[@farhadnawab7642]

Too much yacking. This is the most boring way to catch steelhead.
