How to Avoid Dropper Tag Tangles when Fly Fishing 

Best trout fishing content on the internet. Using the insights and techniques from your 3 euro nymphing videos, I am catching 3x the number of trout I did in the past and getting less frustrated with tangles, weed etc. Great stuff, and keep the content flowing.Thanks from NZ.

Man thank you guys for the rubber band idea. Absolutely awesome.

Great tips. Topic suggestion....transporting your rod safely while driving from spot to spot in a vehicle that won't fit it all assembled and rigged up

The rubber band is a great tip. Wish I had known about it before there was an entire fly box full of nymphs stuck in the carpet in the back of my SUV. Thanks for the informative video.

Good idea (especially with the new music! 😊)

Thanks - great tips for a maddening problem!

Good tips, thanks a lot

I really like the rubber band idea. Nice simple solution and adjustable.

I really liked your third tip. Thank you.

awesome video keep up the good work!!!

Love the funky intro music.

Thanks, great tips

Other then the self mutilation, the 1620 is faster then a Davey knot and provides mechanical locking without compromise to the line. Well done. Thanks for the video

2 TIps: 1) Instead of method #2 @2:10...still do wrap around the reel base, but then hook the two flies hook-to-hook it's self adjusting because you now have an actual loop. Full tension everywhere no loose line and no need to pop one into cork. 2) On some reels , you can get rid of any seams with a light application of epoxy. Good video, thanks!

Great video made great again, thumbs up, I'll see you in the next video of us my friend 👍🇩🇪👍

These are great tips, especially the ortho band one. Truthfully, though, I was hoping the clip would touch on wind-knots in the dropper tag. Somehow my dropper tags have recently started developing wind knots right at the juncture with the main line. Maybe I've changed my cast stroke without noticing it. It seems like several times during a fishing day I discover these little overhand knots -- and sometimes two, in the form of a figure-8 -- right at that juncture. And wouldn't you know, I lost a great fish last week when that whole knot snapped! Any thoughts? Thanks Devin and TFF team for all the great content you put out.

I use the orthodontic band trick, but I put one on each of the first two sections.

Great tip I have watched your video on landing more fish can I ask do you use barbed or barbless hooks I am using barbless and loosing a lot of fish any tips ?thanks

The 6wt T&T Contact II 10'8" comes standard with an up locking reel seat. Would you go with that version, or get the down locking seat? Thank you.

Great advice. Love the ortho bands!. What are you wearing to protect your legs wet wading?

Love the new music! It’s like the tonight show. 😂 The new San Miguel looks beautiful. Is it as nice as it looks? I want one and a T&T 2wt.

Wouldn't using the orthodontic rubber band method scratch the finish on the fly rod as you insert the hook under the rubber band?

One more, even easier. Point fly on first guide, wrap tippet around reel, drive dropper into cork handle. Works for pretty much any combination of distance between point and dropper..

Intro music ⭐️

What brand and where do you buy the tights you wear under your shorts? I wish Simms made some in camo.

Came here after multiple tangles on the water of the tag fly left me saying screw this and going back to dry dropper. As i look at Ortho Bands though it appears the come in heavy 3/16"(4.7mm) and medium 1/4"(6.4mm). Do you have a preference?

What size rubber band ?

How about a part 2 showing us how to prevent the birds nest i get with those dinks on that bottom fly...

what shirt/jacket is that?
