Indeed sir. Im waiting for the Trout West water bobber series if you wanna talk about a killer technique that nobody uses anymore. It was a killer in the sierra years ago, well its been “years ago” that I tried it up there haha
Ah I miss that lake. My folks had a place up there for 20 years. I lived there for a while. It was always a great escape from flat land life. It's one of my favorite lakes to catch trout.
Rob, thanks for another great video. A video on how you spool your reels with the Sinister Braid would be greatly appreciated. Tight lines Brother! 🎣 🤙🏽
Hey Rob, thanks for all the videos, great stuff, has definitely expanded my way of fishing for trout and my arsenal. I usually use 10lb braid on my spinning reels but it's time to replace , I've been looking at the 6lb sinister braid, is it as good as it seems in the videos
Great vid as always Rob.😀👍 You mentioned using the braided line with a fluorocarbon literature and I'm curious, does the braided line cast better with the lighter setups as opposed to using say a full spool of just fluorocarbon line? If nuthin else I'm also thinking the braided line would provide more strength to the setup for setting the hook, no?🤔 Keep the vidz comin my friend. Hope you and yours are well. Peace ✌😎
Yup, thats definitely the idea. The braid is much thiner than mono or fluoro and casts way better. It also doesn’t have any stretch which really improves sensitivity. I use the fluoro leader as the trout cant see it in the water and because it has a little bit of stretch and that acts as a shock absorber preventing the hook from ripping out of the fishes mouth 🤞
Great info. We missed Green Valley while in Big Bear, but Big Bear was on fire! Lots of trout and Cathy and I tried Bow fishing for Carp, very Interesting!! Thanks again for the posting of your videos!!
I just received the 6lb but haven’t fished it yet. I know the 4lb is alot smoother that the Phenix stuff so i would imagine the 6lb is the same way. Ill probably take it out for a test run on Friday
Absolutely. Ive caught brookies and cutthroat on it. I don’t recall catching a lightning on it unless im forgetting but I know they will definitely hit it 🤘
I typically use a 5-6’ leader but sometimes Ill tie one the length of the rod 7-8’. It really comes down to personal preference but minimum do at least 5’
The chemical they put in tbe water to get rid of weeds & algae was interesting. I did not know they used chemicals and great they found one that dosen't effect the fish.
