Thank You Gunnar !!! It's come a long way from The Chosen One I tie for Smallmouths and catch a ton of fish. We are upping our game for a trip to Tennessee and chase river Muskies in April. Enjoy your details that really make the difference when you're working at the bench. Take Care - GP

I really appreciate the longer videos and detailed explanations. I am fairly new to tying flies and started making custom jigs for Crappie and Bream. I’m moving into some larger ties for Salt water, primarily for Reds.. I always appreciate learning new skills. So thank you

Awesome video. I know nothing about muskies so my question was going to be why is hook placement so important even on a big fly? It doesn’t seem like short striking would be a problem for a fish that swallows such big bait whole but your explanation of how they hold their prey really gives a good answer

Looks very Brad Bohen inspired with the schlappen, flash, bucktail rinse and repeat sequence. Simple yet effective. I like it Gunnar. 20 minutes always turns into 45 minutes lol 😆 and I am fine with that.

What weight rod would you want at a minimum to cast this fly?
@Gunnar_Brammer Жыл бұрын
This is 10wt territory. You could get away with a stiff 9wt and Shooting head, but 10wt would be for easy all day casting

Would you consider a Buford head in this fly as an alternative to the bulk heads? Curious is it would have more or less T-bone consider the length of the fly? Thanks

Great video as always! How is your hook up ratio with a 2/0 hook in the middle of a lot of hair?
@Gunnar_Brammer Жыл бұрын
That 2/0 SA210 is more like a 4/0 equivalent in wire gap - also, bucktail does nothing to block or impede hook ups unless you are grossly overdressing the fly.

Well this isn't a typical "recipe" video for sure so I get what you're saying if that's what you're looking for... But it is one of THE most comprehensive videos for understanding musky fly tying concepts. I'm rarely happy with musky flies, and given the amount of material that can be wasted just "getting after it", I do like a having a deeper understanding of what I'm doing along the way. It's a great video for that. I'm very proficient with trout, smallmouth, striper, and salt patterns, but (good) musky flies are a different category entirely. I've watched this video many times and still reference it periodically.

What size wire would you use if you wanted to make your own shanks for musky and Pike
@Gunnar_Brammer Жыл бұрын
.051" is what I use for my custom Musky shanks, but you'll need a wire bender to use it. .043 and 0.040 are also suitable for the Esox application and 0.040 might even be smaller enough to use Looper tools on or simply round nosed pliers.

@@Gunnar_Brammer I have a wire bender lure maker and wanted to make sure I was using the right size wire. Thanks for the information and enjoy watching your epically long tying videos ha, ha, ha. Looking forward to seeing more musky Pike fly tying videos tight lines.
