Nice early action! Regarding the break offs and hook sets when you are using braid skein fishing for kings I found you need extra cushion somewhere. A little bit softer rod, lighter hook set, or what I do is add about 15-18in of heavy monofilament shock leader between my braid main line and my flouro leader say 20lb mono (keep your float above it on your main line). It gives you the extra stretch you need when setting the hook or for blistering runs. Or frankly you could probably run a mono leader instead of flouro. Just some thoughts from personal experience float fishing with braid. Tight lines this season and keep the videos coming!

I like setting the hook even harder than you. You’re on the right track with braid. I like to use anywhere from 50-70lb test straight to my offering. Ditch the bobber and just pinch a few heavy split shots on. You’ll figure it out eventually.. there’s definitely a learning curve and takes some guys quite a bit longer to comprehend.

When fishing kings preparation is key. Good line and a good knot. If you have those I don't think you'll break the line on the hook set unless you try. I always tried to have the smallest less visible line I could. But over the years have learned in situations where fish especially big fish are aggressive, They will bite with a tow rope on it. I think 60-70 lb braid and a Palomar knot is what you need. Not much can compare to the KING.

Explain to me how rain gets them biting? In the PNW rain doesn’t affect the bite. River level does. Rivers on the rise after a heavy rain shuts off the bite as fish will be on the move. Rivers on the drop after it stops raining for a day or two can make salmon hold down in pools turning on the bite.

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Not 100% sure. Pretty spot on every time it starts raining here, the fish start biting. Maybe the sense of them knowing the river may rise, or just something different who know

I don’t think your leader should be breaking that easily regardless of how you set the hook. What knots are you using? Maybe try Palomar knots when you tie to swivels and other tackle. Also lubricate your knots well when tightening them. I used to have leaders and egg loop knots break all the time before doing these two things. I use 20lb Seagaur red label for my leaders. It’s very strong and flexible. Hope this helps! Great videos!

Suggestion: this is a guess that you are newer to float fishing judging by your hook sets and breaking off. If you don’t know how to use a pin do not use one. Just use a spinning rod or use a level 1. I learned this the hard way too, only use pin if you know what your doing

Skien bite is slow, give them time to take it in and expose the hook. Then tighten up, don't yank. You ain't bass fishing on Bill Dance Outdoors. If you have to set so hard switch to 20 pound mono, and lose the split shots that might weaken your line. Those first 4 "bites" could have been dragging bottom, or bumping the sides of fish with your bait below them. Had you pulled slow tight rather than swinging for the fences you might know.

broi is opulling the bait out of the salmon mouth and is getting upset... dude you're literally yanking those bobbers so hard, no wonder the line gotten messy from backlash, not only are salmon bones are thick, they're going to take a minute to hook yet you rip the hook that's barely set right out of their mouth.... frustrating video to watch

@@EnderDragonGamerz02 still have to swing a little to get hooks through skein and set right. Also a small river so could tone the sets down a little with being so close

Maybe if you WERENT BASS FISHING! Say your not go back and look at how your hook sets are!!! Take a bit easier and pull the line back not jerk like bass

Always look a little bit more on camera. Was set a few feet deep with a long rod. Easy to send a bobber flying 😁

Not a bait fisherman

Why are you putting the eggs so far above the hook? Is it a regulations thing in Michigan? No one over here in the PNW runs their eggs that way. No one. That looks like an Alaska flossing rig. Not going to lie… tough watch. Breaking off fish and yanking it out of so many mouths. Woof.

@@PNW-GuyDudeman the eggs are attached to the hook by a loop knot?

[@PNW-GuyDudeman]

@@sbsoutdooraction3055 Run an egg loop knot. That way, you can put eggs (or skein if that’s what you guys call them) directly on the hook and secure with the egg loop. Lose the bead entirely. I guarantee you a 20:1 hookup ratio. Try it. Run it through that same hole. And hook up everytime.
