Light Lures Not Casting Far? Use These Tricks To Cast Further! 

you know its a good day when humbug posts and i got on youtube just to look for a video like this thanks for coming in clutch

Helpful reflection and review

Bro I love your stuff. Keep it up.

Great video, thank you

I like the way you broke down how fishermans get their trips ready for the next day. Also an great insight to getting the best distance on ul.🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great video. If you can get away with lighter line try Varivas Super Ester line- I use 2.3lb (0.117mm) and have caught many 20”+ trout, bass, walleye. It is very slick -kinda plastiky, super sensitive -as much and perhaps more than braid because it doesn’t go limp, no stretch, sinks which will help get and keep your tiny lures down and will send your them out like a rocket. I suggest spooling at least a day before fishing -so line ‘adjusts’ to your reel, and to ‘just more than slightly’ under fill the spool when getting used to fishing with it. It can ‘jump’ off the spool. Need to close your bail immediately after lure hits water. I use a 2lb 6’ flouro leader attached with either a blood knot or 3 turn surgeon’s knot (with rods that have micro guides and knot goes through great and does not get frayed like braid does). Unlike braid it can develop line twist, but can be managed in the usual ways. Comes in clear, neon orange, yellow, and red. Does not ever lose color or fade. Great for watching line for subtle takes. Definitely has a learning curve, but I absolutely love this line! I use Trout Magnet 2lb mono as a backing line attached with a blood knot. Comes in 140 meter spools. I can get 3 reels worth.

Awesome video brother. Found the next ultralight I want now. Love trout fishing!

Another Great Video, thanks for the in depth explanation of what and how to use it. Beautiful location

Suffix and j braid is no joke, I alway fill any spools as much as I can to maximize distance both spinning and baitcaster. Oh yea I caught nice trout on a med hvy mod fast rod!

Nice video there brother, beautiful lake by the way. What I wanted to say or share is, when i work a hair jig, I always make sure its very wet before i throw it a few miles out. otherwise it functions as a parachute. keep up the good work. Peace.

I switched to running braid + floroclear leader a couple years ago and never looked back. Great video, I really appreciate your work! With your Albright knot, how many wraps are you doing with the leader?

I’m pretty new and just got a st croix triumph 7.6 med heavy fast action rod. I was wondering if that was a good purchase. The fish around here are bass bluegill Muskie crappie and catfish

Question, Id like your opinion on the Omen Gold, if you ever held one? Thinking about the 6'9" ML. Balance OK ? Do you think it feels similar to black omen 6'10" ML. We have. - I never seen one of the Oman Gold. & Need to decide ? Thanks for your help. Ray S

I've stop doing altra light rod got tired of braking them on trout just go with light power rod. And use monofilament line for everything I fish. Why is fly fishing so soft rod and Long rod and hook weight only. And flexible is the key to fly fishing. Other ways to get the lure out where you want it to go. Practicing is the next key to light fishing what I dune for my hole life. Bass fishing is new to me with 12 lbs line is like for the weed eater replacement line. Like the slingshot throw for trout fishing in high Rocky mountain streams N.M. Desert fishing is so fun up to Colorado.

Jig head for trout fishing 🤔 never herd of that for trout fishing. My father and grandfather would be 😮 that's not for that. That's what they would say to me. Big fly and spinner, pistol pet fishing my family.

What he's basically describing is a prototytical LRF or even better ULRF rod...If you can find 4lb braid even better( suffix nanobraid for wxample but there are much better quality braided lines in Japan), it will catapult small lures out there. The japanese know what they're doing...As far as lures are concerned soft and hard plastics won't cut it as far as casting distance is concerned. Metal jigs like the shimano soare metal shot tg (tungsten) come as light as 3gr (less rhan 1/8 oz) being so aerodynamic and made out of such a dense material will shock you with how far they will reach out there. The denser the material a lure is made out of and the more aerodynamic the shape of the lure (think teardrop style shape), the furthest it will cast. Combine it with relative large rings for the size of the rod and rod imserts made out of friction resistant material like torzite and this will also agfect the casting distance in a big way. Lastly, the use of silicon spray on your line will also help reach further out (e.g varivas pe line conditioning pro).

I disagree about the braid being most important. It's gotta be having a rod with the low casting weight.

Your background is quite distracting... 😊

Baring mistakes do not run your leader through guides ever.

I tried Suffix 832, and I LOVE it! Thanks for the recommendation 👍👊
