Tungsten Battle (Jig Off and Slotted) 

Thank you so much. I hope you will continue finding new stuff in my videos. Otherwise i am afraid they may get boring for you. Best Vladimir 🍺🍺😀

@@Oholisfliesandfishing Hi Vlad - I saw a video by Kelly Galloup the other day which is about tying dry files on a jig hook. The idea is to get the tippet (a short piece of fluorocarbon) under water near the eye of the hook. His video is about 2 year old. I haven't seen anyone else do this. Have you?

Glad it did. Cheers 🍻😀

Thanks a lot.... Another thought for you.. You can combine them with classic shapes to get more weight for flies. First you put jig off with indent facing backwards then add classic or slotted to make it fit that indent... If that makes sense.. 😀🍺🍺

Thank you so much Trent. I didnt switch to jig offs completely but i am having more and more of them. I think those are superior in some cases.

Thanks so much for watching it. Milligram scale is a good idea. 😀🍻

Thanks so much for watching 🍺🍺

Thanks for that information. Cheers 😀🍻

Thanks so much 🍺😀

Thanks 😀🍺

exactly....unless you want to balance a fly...in that case jig has it's benefits. Tbh, i dont make balanced flies... Cheers, Vladimir

Hello Hank. Glad to see you on my channel again. And glad i could help. Same here.... Jig offs are really cool stuff. Rarely new products are as useful as this one. Cheers Vladimir 🍺😀

@@Oholisfliesandfishing I've always been here Vladimir. I'm subscribed to your channel on the account we use on the TV so you are being watched on the BIG screen ;) I lurk but say little because, if you recall, I live in a warm water fishery and I'm fishing larger flies for bass, walleyes and pike. The smallest hook I use is a #10 and my typical fly is at least 10 cm long tied on a 1/0 hook. Just a bit different from what you usually tie :) Been using the Jig-off on Dragonfly nymph, skulpin (small baitfish) and leech patterns. I'll be testing a "stand-up" caddis larva pattern I'm working on (for carp) as soon as the ice is off the rivers. I do fish for panfish so I have a box of nymphs, dries, terrestrial and poppers in the smaller sizes. You would recognize a lot of your patterns there... just tied on larger hooks. Take care Vladimir, all the best to you and your family! Hank

@@hankvana2149 glad to hear that you are here. I watched once my video on my friends huge TV and i was surprised how good footage is. I am glad i bought camera that can record in 4K. I also live in place without trout. Most of flies i need here are damsels with light weight or no weight and ants... But i always long for trout fishing 😀 Al the best for you and family Vladimir

Thanks 🍺🍺

Thanks 🍺🍺😀

Thank you. Condor substitute is material i got perhaps more than decade ago... I never saw it after that... My best guess is dyed turkey tail....

@@Oholisfliesandfishing thanks

@@chosses1 the primary feathers from any large bird will work.

Thats also true. Any feather with long enough barbs will do the same..

Hi, i live in china so i am lucky to source it from the factory. I do send them to my friend to Europe and he sells them further. I can hook you two up if you need some.

@@Oholisfliesandfishing ya I'd love a connection if thats ok
