you give such good information in your videos. you don't seem like the kinda fisherman that has to keep everything 'secret'. thanks dude your a good guy
Frankly, it's a great fly that's simple to tie. That being said, I downsized it to a much smaller hook and tied a half dozen micro streamers hor trout fishing. I have no doubt it will work for them. Well done young man!
Yeah everyone kept asking if I sell and I said I don’t , so decided to show how to do it lol Maybe I should make a couple and sell and pay for my gas on the boat lol
I grew up in Kailua Kona my dad always said pink white and blue skirts for aku and it worked well .. fast forward decades I move to Hilo and following my dad’s teachings I went with pink blue and white but did not do so well so i cut open a akus belly and found they were eating orange shrimp so I switched to orange skirts and bam I got more bites … maybe Hilo is in some kind of weird zone
Just stumbled on your channel, MAYJAH, mahalo for all the tips and stuff. Kasso Grad, 88, Haole Boy grew up that side and moved to Halawa about 20 years ago. Hey where you got your mylar and pink hairs and stuff, Nankos?
Great video! I'm in the process of tying some skirts for a ballyhoo dredge rig. I'm using Mylar, flashabou, and crystal flash. Do you have any recommendations for how bushy they should be? I don't want them to mess up how the ballyhoo are swimming. I appreciate any advice! Tight lines!
@@HicksHooks shucks I’m not sure how bushy to make them for trolling ballyhoo but I’m sure you’ll make it good. I would probably just use flashaboo lol
I’m so sorry I don’t know off hand… I just go to Nanko’s fishing supply and point to size I think… but make sure they are quality stainless steel … and as for size just go with the size of fish you going for… a size down or up won’t make that much of a difference … Hope that helped
Shoots I’m sorry I don’t know off hand but just choose the size that you think would work for you cause I think I could go a size down or up and I would catch… but in the tray at Nanko’s was the one kinda in the middle , it’s about $3.50 a hook or something , Hope this help a little
Great job! I don’t know if you’ve checked out any of the many fly fishing tutorials out there but you’re correct. If the fish are there ans they’re hungry, they’ll hit that lure hard. Continued good luck and thank you for sharing your insights and your videos!
@@onfirefishinghawaii dang. I’m over in San Diego and looking to start trying this style of fishing out here. We only use irons or live bait here. No one carries fly fishing lure stuff. Nice lures!
i just checked amazon for you and all sold out... however try check hobby or craft shops... i think would have... can also look on line for lateral scale tinsel
Thanks again Brother 🤙 The brand is sumo fish design… you can check them out on Instagram @sumofishdesign and let them know you found them thru my channel just so they know we making a diffence
I JUST TRIED TO BUY IT BUT OUT OF STOCK IN SIZE LARGE. I MESSAGE THEM AND TOLD THEM I WAS WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL AND ASK WHEN WILL IT BE AVAILABLE AGAIN, THX.
Sorry I don’t know the size off hand , I just went to Nanko’s and got the Japan ones that was about $3 per hook I think the were about 1.5 inches , so just think of it as use the hook for the size of fish you trying to catch… I’ve caught 40 lbs on em, but sometimes they swallow it and I’ll lose em…

How do you fish with these? Fly rod, trolling, size line? Weight?
Mahalo!
Aloha Bruddah Joe,
Awesome idea. And it works.
Paul
Action!! 🤟🏼🔥🏆🔥
Mahalo Mike
What watch are you wearing there?
Aloha uncle, just getting into fishing and what not. On your pole do you not have any weights? Is it just the the leader line to lure?
No weight… just mainline to small barrel swivel to 30 lb fluorocarbon leader… then just tie it on the end and drag it around
Genius
Mahalo
NIce jig. Joe what size hook is that??
I’m so sorry I don’t know off hand… I just go to Nanko’s fishing supply and point to size I think… but make sure they are quality stainless steel … and as for size just go with the size of fish you going for… a size down or up won’t make that much of a difference … Hope that helped
@@onfirefishinghawaii ok. I’m going to size them according to the fish and try this out. Thanks
Aloha Joe, thanks for the tutorial! What size doubles are you using for aku?
Shoots I’m sorry I don’t know off hand but just choose the size that you think would work for you cause I think I could go a size down or up and I would catch… but in the tray at Nanko’s was the one kinda in the middle , it’s about $3.50 a hook or something , Hope this help a little
@@onfirefishinghawaii ok thanks, I'll go look and make some, mahalo!
I well trying to do that
Do you just run these flies straight to a leader without any lead or bubble float?
Yup just mainline to barrel swivel to 30-50 fluorocarbon leader straight to fly… if you see the birds by the buoy they going bite at the surface 🤙
Great job! I don’t know if you’ve checked out any of the many fly fishing tutorials out there but you’re correct. If the fish are there ans they’re hungry, they’ll hit that lure hard. Continued good luck and thank you for sharing your insights and your videos!
Thanks, will do!
Where do you buy all the supplies for them flies. Thanks for Video
since i live in Kaneohe , i picked it up at Nankos... but i also pick the same stuff at J&E in town,
Hi, what brand is the Mylar and thread?
The one i get from J&E in Kalihi is generic and doesn't have a brand... but the one i got from Nanko's in Kaneohe, says "lateral scale" brand
@@onfirefishinghawaii dang. I’m over in San Diego and looking to start trying this style of fishing out here. We only use irons or live bait here. No one carries fly fishing lure stuff. Nice lures!
i just checked amazon for you and all sold out... however try check hobby or craft shops... i think would have... can also look on line for lateral scale tinsel
Hi, I just subscibed to your channel good content and wanted to ask you what brand is your t-shirt of the octopus you have in the video? Thx.
Thanks again Brother 🤙
The brand is sumo fish design… you can check them out on Instagram @sumofishdesign and let them know you found them thru my channel just so they know we making a diffence
I JUST TRIED TO BUY IT BUT OUT OF STOCK IN SIZE LARGE. I MESSAGE THEM AND TOLD THEM I WAS WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL AND ASK WHEN WILL IT BE AVAILABLE AGAIN, THX.
No weight needed I presume? They look great!
You are correct. No weight needed. The hook provides enough weight and drag
You can also use 5 min epoxy for a finish if you don’t have uv resin. use a small torch lighter to get rid of bubbles.
Nice … maybe I can try that on a couple other projects I got going
@@onfirefishinghawaii yes comes out more clear and is ultra durable. Old school fly tying technique before uv resin.
What size hook is that
Sorry I don’t know the size off hand , I just went to Nanko’s and got the Japan ones that was about $3 per hook
I think the were about 1.5 inches , so just think of it as use the hook for the size of fish you trying to catch…
I’ve caught 40 lbs on em, but sometimes they swallow it and I’ll lose em…
Damn, those look deadly. Simple too.
can you make one for me
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Does that Mylar color have a name? Thanks
Sorry it didn’t come with any labels , I picked up a bunch at J&E in Dillingham, Honolulu
Nanko’s get also
vay.fyi
grand
can you make one for me
Nah no worries everyone ask me to make for them but trust me super easy to do yourself… and when you catch with em, you going be so happy
