In this video, Alex breaks down fly fishing in saltwater and how it compares to sightfishing with a spinning combo.
These two techniques look very different, but really aren't too far apart. The cast is probably the most recognizable difference along with the reels and line. The rods are very similar as well.
In a nutshell, with a flyrod, you're casting a heavy weighted line, and your lure tags along for the ride. However with a spinning rod, you're casting a weighted lure and the line tags along for the ride. Once the lure hits the water, things are basically the same: you work the lure to get the fish to eat it.
If you haven't tried fly fishing in saltwater yet, you really need to give it a try. If you can catch fish on artificial with a spinning rod, all you'll need to perfect with the fly rod is the mechanics. Everything else will fall into place.

Thank you. I have used your channel to learn so much the last few weeks. Helping me get through the cold of the midwest winter. Thank you

glad we can help Jay!

Really good breakdown. I don’t know anything about fly fishing but live on the IRL and want to get into it. This was a great explanation of the basic differences!

Great explanation! 👏🏾👍🏾

Can you do a video on the flys? Like what fly lures to use for saltwater? That’s the part I’m confused on, like flys for redfish etc all different saltwater game fish. And where to purchase them.

What backing and main fly line is on the fly reel you showed in the video?

@jaycobarrubias3957 6 месяцев назад

Same boat for both set up’s? I see on a lot of these videos guys fishing from low profile skiffs . I’m used to a 6’ center console casting platform with conventional tackle for (“long distance “) sight casting at reds I’m wondering if i just fish from the 2’ casting platform from the bow I’ll be okay. My fear is that the fish will see me from 50’ and get spooked since my boat has a tall center console . Your thoughts ?? Thank you for posting your content.

The only thing that's scary is the price - 3 times a spinning reel setup!

2:14. If the spinning reel holds 200-250 yards of line, and you can cast half of that-wow! Could you do a video that shows us how to make 300-375 foot casts with a 1/8 ounce jig? Just kidding-I get what you mean. Generally speaking, if you can see the fish, fly fishing is better. If you can’t see the fish because they are too deep or too far away, spinning (or bait-caster) gear is better. There are a few caveats, like when you are tight to a bank and there’s no room for a back-cast, or if it’s super windy, using a fly rod can be tough. If the fish you’re targeting are keyed in on small food items, fly fishing is better (think trout, bluegill, and sometimes bonefish). And there are many times when either will work equally well or equally poorly.

i like to use 6WT bay salt and surf

@tailwaterflyshop Год назад

I've been throwing a 6wt recently a lot too. Hits the water much softer than the 8 when it its bluebird skies and no wind

@thatonebeone Год назад

@@tailwaterflyshop yes its nice but at my place in San diego California it's mostly blind cast unless I go to the shallow sides and look for bone fish.. it's so fun on 6wt with the fight on any fish.. until the winds pick up 🤣
