How to Make Hookless Rope Lures (and Flies) for Gar

One of the best ways to catch gar is with rope lures (and flies). In this video, we show you how you can make various types of rope lures and flies. All you need is some unbraided nylon rope, a lighter (or fly tying equipment) and something to hang the rope on such as a simple panfish hook, lure, jig head, or barrel swivel. There are so many different ways you can get this done. We’ll show you several methods but maybe you can take information from this video and build on it (maybe even make it better!).

I've been trying to catch gar for so long, but no luck at all. I tried the mississippi and meramec as well as river des peres.

[@SwanseaTitanFan]

How big was your biggest gar? I’ve seen a picture of one taken in the 40s down in Arkansas that must have been 7 foot long. I have a 13ft salmon fly rod that I would love to take out after big gar once I move back to St. Louis later this year.

[@ShowMetheHawgs]

30" longnose gar is my largest. Gator gar can get huge down south. See a lot of guys catching monster 7-8 footers in Texas. I've seen monster longnose in the Meramec. Billy and I have theorized a state record longnose could come out of that river. Your salmon rod will do great. I have a 9ft 7wt TFO that's a lot of fun.
