    Just returned from Christmas Island in April. After an extensive internet search in preparation for my trip I can say with certainty that Red's Fly Shop offers the most comprehensive information to make your trip more successful. I will hold my tongue concerning the outfitter I used and will definitely use Red's Fly Shop for my next trip. Thank's guys. Your informative video's were a blessing for this first-timer.

    Thanks for the loud music for the 4 minutes in the beginning. Loved it with bleeding ears :)

      Yea that music sucks. Finding free music that doesn't do that can be hard.

    Great video, Joe! Brings back great memories of Xmas Island. I want to say your guide looks like Totene...I can’t get enough of your casting either.

      I did not get a chance to fish with Totene, but he is great and the other guests loved fishing with him. Thanks Cachi!

      Yes, Totene got me into my first 25lbs GT. It was all thanks to his preparation and skills as a guide. He taught me how to hold the line in preparation to cast. That was priceless! I only wish the other guides had taught me this trick at the beginning of my trip; I had Totene on the fourth day!

    Why not just use one 11 weight?

    • @redsflyshop
      @redsflyshop  5 лет назад +1

      You could, absolutely. Most folks want to have 2 rods on a big trip like this. I envision the 10 weight being able to pinch hit as either a Bonefish rod or a GT rod. I always have my guide carry an extra GT rod if that is what I am fishing for, you can get a double (guide hooks up after you do), or if you snag in the coral with one rod, GT's present just grab the other rod. For me, this system makes the most sense.

    Good video in general, but the line management advice is complicated and perhaps unnecessary. Why not use a stripping basket?

    • @redsflyshop
      @redsflyshop  3 года назад

      Several reasons, and we're not blind casting in surf we're often walking long distances between opportunities. Baskets are awesome if you are bombing casts for stripers in the surf but I wouldn't want to walk flats all day with one.

    • @mvnowak8350
      @mvnowak8350 3 года назад

      We'll have to agree to disagree on this. I find no discomfort whatsoever with wearing a basket all day on the flats. And there are only advantages (apart from the fact that they look a bit silly)--I can cast much more quickly and farther with a basket, and its somewhere to place your hat and sunglasses when posing for a photograph! Surprisingly few people use them, but those that do swear by them. (PS. The collapsible baskets are horrible to use and wear and consistently cause tangles)
