GINK AND GASOLINE IS ABOUT A VISION. IT’S ABOUT CHALLENGING OURSELVES AS FISHERMEN AND SHARING THE EXPERIENCE. WE SEE IT AS OUR MISSION TO LIVE THE DREAM AND BRING IT BACK HOME TO YOU.
Watched a friend of mine struggle with this and came across this video which helped. Definitely still a moment where I'm glad I fish barbless. Just gotta stand far away from my buddy before he hooks me next.
The leader length doesn’t really matter but I’m usually using this technique on very small streams and commonly fishing a leader around 6 1/2 to 7 feet.
No comments since 22? I have the redfish and still rock it. Now in 2024, I wish Sightline would add a Large mouth Black Bass, a Catfish series, a detailed Brook trout, Bluegill, Seatrout and update some of the usual stuff. Its easy to get stale in art and there are so many new subjects to create.
So this video has been ups long time but it helps explain the difference between glass and carbon fiber , it’s the feel 👈🏼 I ended up switching to carbon for different reasons, I don’t fish fresh water anymore because saltwater interests me more and bigger fish , but then you make improvements to your tackle like carbon fiber for reasons like , it’s strength, it’s durability, the lightness when casting the flats all day especially with 9-10 -11-12 wt rods saltwater carbon rods have a stiffer back bone and this affects the casting of the line and here is we’re my problems come in “because you don’t get the feel” 👈🏼. You don’t feel the line load up , you don’t get the action of the rod because of the stiffness of the carbon fiber , and of course people say well put a heavier line on it or a longer taper with more weight, and I’ve done it , but it doesn’t feel right , like a glass rod , I’m trying to get use to my carbon rods in my search for sea monsters , but my glass rod will always be there to pick up the slack 👈🏼 literally 😆👍🏼
The first thing that needs to emphasized in fly casting from a boat is to take the legs out of it. If you rock the boat by transferring weight between the feet in the casting motion, you will scare away the fish. Simple as that. Casting 60 or 80 feet at that point won't matter, because the fish isn't going to eat anything anyway.
Simms did say that they will be offering a sole replacement service. Not sure if it's rolled out. I love my pair of these boots. As mentioned, the laces are a *little* short AND The tongue could be a little longer to prevent fine gravel ingress.
Pulling out about as much line as you’re going to cast, clearing it and then stripping it back in is really important but not discussed. If you don’t do this, the line is going to be on the deck in reverse order of the way it comes off the coil. That is, when you shoot, the line that gets shot first is on the bottom of the coil and is going to tangle. Pull out, clear (cast it all), and then strip into coils. That will help prevent tangling when you shoot.
I just bought an SSR V and I'm taking it out tomorrow for the first time. It seems like a great reel, and for a bona fide spey reel, the price is really good.
Hi Louis, Like this rod. My question is final. What do you advise me? Orvis salt big game 9 foot #7 or, Scott wave 9 foot #7? I will use the rod for big perch, pike, aspius and for salt sea trout and sea bass. Price is almost the same, just like power I guess. What about recovering after throwing a line? Accuracy and that kind of things. Please help me for taking the right decision. Greetings and tight lines overthere.
This question has me a little confused. Here in the US at least, the Orvis Salt / Big Game is a fly line, not a rod. I would have to know which Orvis Rod you’re referring to. The H3 and Recon are both great rods. The H3 is considerably more expensive. Orvis has the best customer service in the business and with their interchangeable parts, you be up and fishing much faster if you broke the rod. The only Orvis model I would not recommend is the Clearwater. Great rod for a beginner but not in the same league. The Wave is a wonderful rod and very versatile. You will not be disappointed.
Thanks for your reaction. It was Recon salt. So Scott will be my choice. Scott is a little bit more expensive than the Recon salt, but I can use Scott in fresh and salt. I will visit a shop and will throw a line and make my discussion. Greetings and tight lines. @@GinkandGasoline
Hallo Louis, That is a great review about the rod. Can you tell Me is that a 9foot 6 line or a larger rod? tight lines and greetings from The Netherlands
dont see the point in a waterproof bag unless you carry your phone or camera in it. regular sling packs are water resistant anyway and everything you should bring in a pack is designed to get wet... plus what use is a waterproof pack when its raining and you need to open in. oh and chest packs are way better than slings
yeah who needs their phone in 2023 anyway? especially when you're outside in the wilderness where NOTHING could go wrong! also, soggy snacks make for a lame fishing day... upgrade your game Rambo!
For me the big reason is keeping my fly boxes dry. Once I was out on a day long trip where it rained the entire time. But we're not gonna cancel because of rain unless it gets dangerous. Spent the whole day out, my pack got soaked, all my fly boxes seeped in water. Putting away hooks wet will cause them to rust and also ruin the fly dressing, in other words expensive flies destroyed. Had to lay everything out to dry, each tiny little fly.
