Watching from Delaware. Can’t wait for the warm weather up here !! Love the videos

[@flatsclasscharters]

Thanks Matt… appreciate you following our channel

[@junior_MCXI79]

I file my barbs down on trebs. I ordered some of the BKK hooks that i inquired about a few videos back. I generally only use single inlines on my big topwaters. Full size super spooks with the middle hook removed and on halco roosta poppers. I personally use 1/0, 2/0 or 4/0 (big hook for the big ole poppers) owner inline hooks and owner split rings on everything with a split ring.

[@flatsclasscharters]

Very nice share appreciate the feedback and advice

[@user-tp4bc7qc2e]

Good job

[@shawnewing1175]

Awesome video I use single inline hooks on all my hard baits on a 7/6 medium heavy fast action and I love them like you said you just have to use the right rod with them

[@flatsclasscharters]

So many anglers love the inlines but figuring out that rod to lure balance is everything

[@shawnewing1175]

True that's the trick the right set up

[@jeffspencer4317]

Kinda came to the same conclusion. I use Medium for treble hooks and MH fast for single inline hooks. I changed out some for inline, but still prefer treble with squashed barbs. Wish mirrolure would sell w/ barbless hooks.

[@flatsclasscharters]

It’s always about cost and providing varied options but I will mention it to Mirrolure

[@coopercoming8524]

Nice video

[@Tristan1990.]

Hi CA, I moved to Florida last year from the north east where I was fishing for stripers and blues. Your content has been invaluable for learning the St Pete fishery. I did change all my trebles out for singles, however I was also missing fish. But I liked the ease and conservation elements of the inline set up. To combat losing fish and to get the best of both worlds I started using both style of hooks on my plugs especially with topwaters. I’d hang an inline off the back and attach a treble to the center of the plug. I started doing this as many striper plugs utilize this setup and some manufacturers even sell plugs like this including Super Strike. I found this dramatically increased my hookup ratio. Have you tried this approach before? If so I’d bee keen to get your thoughts. Thanks!

[@flatsclasscharters]

I haven’t tried that combination personally but have heard that many anglers are doing that and that it improved their hook up ratio

[@teetimeaz]

So I use inlines on my hard lures. But I also use 18 -24 in leaders. I do not like casting my knots through the guides all day long. My exception is if the rod is set up for trolling.

[@flatsclasscharters]

Have you tried the modified Albright or FG Knots? They move through the rod guides easily for me…

[@teetimeaz]

@@flatsclasscharters FG. And my guides on the bait caster rods are small. They impede the knot some. No backlashes. But I can see the knot damage at the end of the day. Spinning rods seem better.

[@DonKilpatrick-tg3qi]

Wish you would do some bloopers , bet you have some,

[@flatsclasscharters]

You have no idea 😂

[@pinecone5058]

Look like you had a slx reel on that Fitz rod,?

[@flatsclasscharters]

Yes its the SLX DC

[@henryschmidt636]

What happened to video 1.0? Watched, commented now it's gone and video 2.0 is up. All clips and discussion of the Zillion is edited and now only a lowly SLX appears and I don't think that was even in the first video. Re-win Shimano sponsorship?

[@flatsclasscharters]

No not any of that actually just a mix up on the clips from two different videos my friend

[@henryschmidt636]

​@@flatsclasschartersmy mistake, I apologize.

[@petey17ford]

Wow, a season or so ago, you "sold" the concept of inline hooks with many MirrOlures like sliced bread.

[@flatsclasscharters]

I approached them about why not have offerings with inlines but they couldn’t sell them… after some experimentation I had to up power and action to get consistent results. Hence I made this video for all those frustrated by missed fish. Appreciate the feedback, Pete

[@petey17ford]

​@@flatsclasscharters I appreciate your reply. Confidence in using the inlines, with no grass issues, declined along with their hook rate. The fishing along flats of the mid-coastal waters in Texas suffered.

[@bi0ticoutdoors102]

I do like those inlines on the mirrodines for that slower fall rate. Almost makes them a floater/diver that snook really like.
