Great video. Thank you, Chad! Glad I watched your video because everyone on fly fishing forums are all talking about doing perfection loops. I’ve always been doing surgeon knots too like you mention in the video. Would you recommend doubling up on the amount of loops you do with surgeons loop knot or regular surgeons knot? Or two to three would you say be plenty on butt section and wire tippet and Fluoro leader connection? Thank you!
I would say you should use what works for you. If you haven't experienced any issues with your standard surgeons knot, why mess with it. My game is targeting apex predator fish and I try to keep everything as simple as possible. There is no theoretical reason why you couldn't do more. Go with what you have confidence in, until as fish forces you to alter your ways.
Sure. You really want to get muskie flies down, as the fish tend to suspend deeper. Obviously, you need the space to make the cast, but otherwise it would work fine.
@@InTheSpread hey so in this video you mention how saltwater rods would be too fast for musky setup; so what about a glass rod? im lookn into the orvis 8wt superfine glass for smallmouth streamers and the occasional musky bite, let me know what you think please thanks.
What loop knot do you use for the fly end of the rio wire bite? Just a non slip mono loop or something different? I’ve noticed issues of reduction in breaking strength and looking for a better knot to use.
It really depends on the size fish you may encounter and the weight of the flies. An 11 wt may be more suited for heavier fly patterns and if there are much bigger fish in the system you are fishing, then a 12 wt is the answer.
Thanks for this excellent video.
@BarryMcKee3906 Thank you for watching and the compliment.

Banyak terima kasih kepada Anda. Olahraga memancing memang luar biasa. Muskie adalah predator air tawar teratas di Amerika Utara. Diberkatilah Anda.
can you use a Spey rod using SKAGIT casting? I swing big flies for salmon and big steelhead. 400 grain sinking is typical.
Sure. You really want to get muskie flies down, as the fish tend to suspend deeper. Obviously, you need the space to make the cast, but otherwise it would work fine.
Nicely done. Tight lines!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video, thanks a lot for this. Tight lines!
Thanks for watching and your comments.

The jam knot work real well.
You talking about having heavier sinking line but then using super long leader. So what does it matter in small streams?
The leader is 12-18 inches. For times when I use a wire bite, I would tie a longer butt section. What do you mean by small streams?
You mentioned 9wt...is that ample?...whats the best over all rod wt for 6in to 8in flys?
It really depends on the size fish you may encounter and the weight of the flies. An 11 wt may be more suited for heavier fly patterns and if there are much bigger fish in the system you are fishing, then a 12 wt is the answer.
Would you fish the same set up for pike?
@@paulvfishing you absolutely could.
Who makes this boat hull?
Hyde drift boats
I use 40# flouro leader no problems ✌️❤️
Good stuff
12’ leader?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
thank you
the way keeps that musky in the net is embarrassing. obviously it cant breathe. take care of the fish, man. also get an appropriate sized net
the fish is in the net for all of 10 seconds and we always take care of them, so they swim away vigorously.
