This is our first gear review video. In the video we review the Blood Run 3wt Ultralight float rod. #centerpin #troutfishing #steelheadfishing #deschutes #flyfishing www.ebay.com/u...
(Somewhat 😀) SCATHING review my friend!! 😩That rod is great for the D. I have caught multiple Steelhead on that little gem. 😀 Jimmy Legs for the win - I am confident that one day you will come around to the dark side 😉. And yes, I am a great fisherman.
@@droppin-floats For me the rod is great fun - that is what I like about it. Small floats, small gear and good fun even with average trout - which is most of what one catches on a daily. I never used it with a Center-Pin though ... that may be the difference. I always had a tight-ish line from rod tip to float so I rarely missed fish. I also used 30lb braid - made the connection much nicer and casting better (I alsu used nice mono, but the braid was better) My drifts were also quite short ... between 20-60/75ft ... upstream a bit, reel in to keep the connection between rod tip and float, then slowly reel through the drift and once the float was looking like it was coming tight, flip the bale and let it run for another 20-30 ft. and then reel up.
@@droppin-floats Could be ... I tried both and enjoyed the braid much more than mono. But the spin reel may also be the ticket. It works just as well as a center pin (imho) for drifts. Maybe not as smooth, but smooth won't distract a trout. Your looking for quick coverage of an area - grid everything out in a 50-75ft. rectangle in front of you and hit all the rows (river direction).
