*I love it **enjoyable.fishing** recommend I’m using it for my 1.0 Crankbaits and small Jerkbait. Paired with my Assassin. Works great, feels great. Would definitely recommend this setup.*

[@GoodBossTV]

You made fly fishing sound so easy!!! Just the video a beginner needs to watch. As many others have said you are a good teacher. Thank you for your commitment to the sport.

[@ajeetkanda8410]

Wow just seeing this out of the box kzbin.infoUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.

[@joeblow3050]

Great job with the explanation and you speak very well. Easy to listen to without Umms and You knows. Very nice.

[@benfazio3233]

Thanks, I'm from Melbourne Australia not Florida. Your video was very informative, I enjoyed the clear, precise and slow explanations. Well done. I am a newbie and keen to learn more.

[@Freddo4J]

This is PERFECT for a newbie like me! Thanks so much for putting this video out!!

[@dougbauer2678]

That was a great video, i grew up and my father still lives right across from a very small but also very productive creek, (butternut creek in central new york). I am 53 and have fished all my life , just never fly rod. I plan to really give it a good try, Thanks.

[@aggietommyjones]

Thank you so much. I've already watched a few videos here on KZbin and found them quite boring and I didn't really quite understand what they were saying. This video was totally different. I completely got everything you said and understood everything. Now it's 3:30 am here in Texas so sadly I can't watch more of these videos but I will definitely will be watching the rest of you're videos tomorrow. Thank you and God Bless.

[@hf977]

Most informative videos i found on fly fishing came from tightlinesflyshop..... good job.

[@JosephMcCanne]

Great video with clear and concise info. Thanks!

[@dofishbuster]

Scientific Anglers had 6wt 9' kits with everything you need including a fly. That's how I got started and I still use that setup today years later. I liked it so well I picked up the same kit in 9wt for saltwater and those large bass in heavy cover here in the south. I am looking for an affordable 3wt in at least 8 1/2' for bream fishing my pond but I have yet to find one. While I don't forsee ever giving up my spinning rods I do have the flyrod bug.

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

great job explaining things. i plan to get into the sport this spring and there is a lot of things to know.

[@KenoSupremoB]

Best video for beginners by far, Thanks Tight Lines!!

[@blind3mo]

Thank you Tim! This really helps me out for a new rookie fly fisher!!

[@jamesporter5852]

Very good info - it was clear and very useful. jim in gerogia

[@tightlinesflyshop]

The backing is really just taking up space on the reel. The idea is that the fly line will have a lot less memory when wrapped around a larger diameter. If you wind line directly around the arbor it will not fill the spool up. The other benefit is insurance if you get into a very large fish that could take the entire fly line. This can be the case when fishing steelhead or saltwater species. I hope that helps. Tight Lines, Tim Landwehr

[@pampaustenbach5561]

great help.....

[@superhunter992]

would a 6/8 rod wieght, a 9 and a half foot be enough to tackle maybe up to 20 lb carp?

[@NathGrech]

great video.

[@bobgroves2243]

Thank you,,

[@tylernorman25]

Great video

[@chune4109]

Nice vid! Appreciate it!

[@adammcdonald4540]

thank you so much!

[@tacokiller101]

how much backing do you need?

[@heidbrain]

I'm wondering what each weight represents. for example, a number 5 rod. how big of a fish can that handle in pounds? same with the line -how much weight can it hold before breaking?

[@Dorsetlaner]

heidbrain hi there , the acctually fly line is practically indestructible it's the leader that is break able and the leaders can range from 2 pound to 80 pound depending on what you fish for I fish with a 5 waight rod and 6 waight line and I have caught 10 pound European bass (sea bass) on it no problem , just a good fight , and that's mostly it aswell , most rods will handle most fish however it just depends on how easy you want it to be .

[@spencerrens7887]

Amy Vardsveen, i would look to get a 8wt rod. Id probably try to get an 8 ft or a 8ft 6inches

[@TheTrashologist]

Very good video. My question is what type of line should I use if I'm going for bass? large and or small mouth. p.s. I'm completely new to fly fishing, if that makes a difference. thanks. Tony

[@noahjones534]

What is an all around good setup to use for trout and bass. Also what are some good companies to look at.

[@redchaos71]

Okay so I want to get a fly rod primarily for trout but I want to be able to go out and fish for surf perch as well on the same rod should I get a 8wt instead of a 5wt

[@musiclover0127]

Alright I want to fish for walleye, bass, crappie, trout, catfish, and northern what rod would be a good all around rod number for these

[@raymondcrocker9193]

What type of rod and reel should I use for steelhead. I haven't fly fished before but I would like to start fly fishing for steelhead and trout

[@MR_F30]

Raymond Crocker steel head Maybe 8wt. I think maybe because they're bigger?

[@MsBloodwork]

how to get an eyelet on fly rod line

[@57pad75]

what type of rod do I med for atlantic salmon ? Is the 9w 9' any good

[@adlerbr12]

why the Dacron line.

[@Bellaandkelly]

The Tapered leader...how long does that need to be, I was looking online and I see they are 7.5 -9 ft. Is there a difference?

[@jrmunro111]

9ft for trout. 7.5 will work for bass/panfish

[@lFABIAIN]

hello guys well i just bought a 9 foot fly rod and i was wondering if thats a good length. i was a beginner but now i can fly. do you guys think is better to have a 9 or 8 or maybe less

[@nagazinafireworks7594]

Hello, Im a beginner to fly fishing, whats the reason for the backing on the reel I thought all you need is the fly line and the leader line? Thanks

[@narucraze]

Fly line is slick and will slip on the arbor. Backing is to prevent the line from slipping and to give you extra line in case a very large fish, (relatively speaking), takes all 80 or so yards of your fly line.

[@nagazinafireworks7594]

OK thanks for the info....

[@landispatrick9113]

NAGAZINA FIREWORKS ‘o

[@hunterhoughton7843]

Fish ooooonnnnn!!!!

[@jessedavis9798]

8wt is way to big for smallies and average large mouth 6 or 7 wt is perfect 8 wt is for pike and Muskie

[@dienadel30]

eh
