HOW-TO: Catch Flathead On Flies With A Sinking Fly Line 

Good stuff, Andrew! Let us know how you go. Make sure you tie a few Clousers in chartreuse and white... Deadly colour combo!

Glad you like them!

Thanks mate! 👍

Thanks again, Steven! I really appreciate your support.

Yep.

Thanks, fishing sister!

Thanks, Jack!

Thanks Mick! It's a Beastmaster Snubby 5.0. Made in Hervey Bay: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aZJxiwqiIgg.html

Thanks Mitch. I'll get onto Keith and see what I can find out.

@@StarloGetsReel that would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Anthony! Spend a reasonable amount on a rod. At least $300, I reckon. It’s the most important tool. Next most important is the line. An intermediate (slow sink) is a good starting point. You won’t get much change out of $150 for a decent line. The reel is the least important component but get one that won’t corrode and give it a rinse in freshwater after use. There’s no need to spend more than about $100 to $150 on a reel. Add $20 or $30 bucks for some backing (used braid will do the job). So I guess you’re up for about $600 all-up, unless you can track down some second hand gear. Good news is you can use it for a range of species in fresh and saltwater. 👍

@@StarloGetsReel Thanks champion, you have given me a lot to think about, being on a budget I am tossing up between the fly set up , or a rod and reel to chase kings in and around Sydney Harbour, and all my fishing is land based, so i need to think about which set up i would get the most use out of, so thanks for the help, much appreciated Starlo,

@@anthonycox1870 no problems. I must say, I think you'd probably get more use from the kingy set-up. Fly can always come later. 😉

@@anthonycox1870 You can get into fly fishing cheaper if you want to see if you like it first, eg. Maxcatch VAccess rod, Eco reel, fly line gets you into fly fishing for around $100. It's not as good as top notch gear of course, but I've landed 2kg salmon on such a setup and it did it easier than my $600 Daiwa spinning set did. There's also South Pacific from A1 fly fishing who do a good starter combo. However, without casting tuition you'll likely struggle to get anything shore based.

You can get a complete fly rod reel line for around 350 pm me I send you wich fly rod you need my mates a pro saltwsterfly fisherman he's sponsored by diawa and no I'm not trying to sell you anything just trying to guide you so u don't waste yre money

Kingies on fly are awesome although the bigger versions are a handful! 12-weights and heavy tippets…
