That 1st rod and reel bought back 7 years ago and i still have it i did upgrade the rod and its my go to fly rod as it was my 1st fly rod and reel i have now 5 rods and reels
I make a crawdad pattern on a 60 degree jig hook with a tungsten bead out of nothing but a pheasant skin it can be stripped on 4/5 WT fly rod or dead drift it under a bobber on ultralight spinning gear. Look for it on Gunnar Bramers RU-vid channel.
Hell yeah i gotta make one. I use spinning, fly and centerpin and have used this or anjig similar for all three and its great. Ive always put down a thicker chenille first and was curious if anyone did one like this.
I just bought a 9' 5wt first fly rod and watching this video is kid of making me regret my decision. But one thing i had in mind is to go upstate n.y to fish for salmon so idk if i made the right decision?
This gentleman obviously loves his 4 wt and it’s not something that can be argued as it is one man’s opinion but please don’t regret your decision. The 9’ 5wt is an excellent choice! It was my first rod and the 7 1/2’ 3wt was my second. Later this year I’m hoping to add a 9’ 7wt to round out my lineup. The 5wt will cover most of the bases plus give you a solid foundation for what you get down the road. Enjoy it!
The 5wt is fine. I have been fly fishing since 1974 when 6wts were the norm. We caught plenty of fish. To this day I live near and fish the Beaverkill, Delaware, West Branch of the D etc. You cant go wrong with a 5wt. And, in the wind you will be happier that you had a 5 wt over the 4wt.
For a fly reel I can order one from Amazon for 30 bucks if anything go wrong with my fly reel one day shipping. I put more money into spinning reel or baitcaster reel from Japan
There is no substitute for a high end reel ($500+). You get on a big fish or really any fish in the tropics and you’ll appreciate it. My first trip to the BVI I had a sub $200 reel and the first fish I hooked the drag was smoked. Some times you have to spend the money. Cheap Chinese made reels are a waste of money if you’re planning on them doing more than holding your line.
Por puro capricho y/o por moda,no hay más motivo real más allá del gusto personal del pescador. Las cañas de bambú son más pesadas,más lentas y suelen estar torcidas,nada que imposibilite su uso para pescar pero el carbono e incluso la fibra de vidrio tienen claras ventajas. Sobre todo el precio prohibitivo de una caña de bambú refundido. No hay color.
The poor guy in the video missed a guide when lining his rod. We as "guides" or advocates of the sport must ensure the people we're teaching don't inadvertently/ accidentally destroy their gear due to something so simply overlooked...
