Worlds 1st **Completed** MTB SLAM on a Fly Rod! Crankbait, Jerkbait, Dropshot, Jig 

Westin, your editing skills are unmatched. Every time I watch I see you get better and better🔥🔥 best fishing RU-vidr no KIZZAY

1st time you used conventional baits with the fly rod I was pretty critical. On your last fly rod vid I recommended putting away the 10wt for an 8wt. Being a purist fly guy, I hate to admit I chuckled when I saw the MTB box in your hand. Throwing those hard baits and jigs would have been a lot easier with the 10wt. Looks like the two handed strip worked with the hard baits. With flies, most times a single handed strip will be more productive. The two handed strip works better with larger, faster fish, like tuna and roosters. Search "stripping fingers" for finger protection. My favorite is the Buff brand stripping guards. As a purist I want to be a hater (but I can't!). Keep it up, and I hope my snobby fly friends can sit back and enjoy your passion.

I've never heard of Seaborn before. Where are they located here in DFW? I'm on the hunt for a 9' to 10' ft 2 piece in an 8 or 9 wt as my next lake rod. Was going to get a TFO rod but would be happy to support a local company if they have what I'm looking for or for my next fly rod after that. Also,d that was a sweet video! That was pretty crazy using those heavy conventional hard baits with those rods. Way back in the 30s to 50s before light & ultralight spinning gear was a thing, it wasn't a foreign idea to have hard baits for fly rods that were made for fly fishing. I've acquired more than a few in my vintage tackle collection over the years. Still on the hunt for a Heddon Fly Rod Punkinseed lure that's not over $100 to $150. I swear the smaller an antique lures get the more expensive that it gets. LOL! I should make a video throwing some of it just to piss off both the fly fishing purists & lure collectors at the same time. LOL!

Love these vids....don't let any so called purists talk down to you...fly rods are versatile enough to handle almost any type of lure...and I can guarantee that there has been a lot of experimentation over the decades...so keep it up...any type of spinner or baitcast lure will have a matching fly version if you search for it...but... your way is very entertaining. Anything that encourages others to get outside and enjoy the sport is a win.

No

Love that double hand retrieve, we do it often for stipers on the coast seems to fire them up

Cool challenge. Have to try something similar with one of my flyrods

This was a fun video, but imma just stick to flies on my fly rod. One of my favorite things in fishing is trying random unconventional things because it might work, or it might just be fun, but this is just a touch outside of my comfort zone lol. Keep up the grind and I see no reason why 1M subs can't happen in 2022.

What’s good Westin I’m thinking about to getting in to the fly fishing game what’s a good starter cambo you recommend .🤟🏾

That opening drone scene with the 3D was peak RU-vid editing

Yeah kind of defeats the purpose of a fly rod but this was awesome. Hey nothing like thinking outside of the box!! I think I will stick to fly's on my flyrod though but definitely interesting to watch.

I think I won't try this haha. I stick traditional as you say. But thank you for the excellent content.👍🏻

I use my flyrod with corn for carp so using a MTB isn't that bad. Can't wait to see a crankbait on a flyrod though.

cheers from Canada bro , great content .did you end up making a video using these rods for fly fishing ?

Good video. I'm glad you didn't give up. Most people don't know that the fly rod was the only game in town up until about 50 to 75 years ago. In fact the first inline spinner was cast on a fly rod.

Nice job bro! May I say u... Slammed that challenge. 😂🙄😑 This is interesting because some people might wanna see this being done but don't wanna do it with their gear. So, u did a great job of showing how it can be done.. Never thrown a fly rod in my 34 yrs, but u really got me wantin to get me one and try it out. Keep it up brother!🤘🏻

When you cast don't flick at the end. You need slow gentle movement for the most effective cast

Zany my man, but got my 👍🏾

Catchin fish is catching fish

What did i say last upload? They just get better im tellin yall

Part of life is realizing boundaries are made to be broken

💥💥💥

I can’t believe u caught all those fish on a lipless, 🔥vid

Dude this was insane to watch I have a 5 wt rod. I’ve been planning on making more fly videos and this has inspired me to just pick up the rod and go out to some creeks in Fort Worth.

westin what is even this poor fly rod

hey man. Love this video. I filmed this video and it is set to drop in a few days. On difference though... I did it on conventional gear. I thought it was crazy when it took me two days. your the man. that was crazy

How do you get into this place??
