One extra pro I find for the Oros, you can mix colors so each half is a different color which helps the visibility. They even sell a classic red/white.
That was one of the first things we did too! Mix and Match!
Very objective and balanced review, Chris. These are both A- products for me with a slight edge to the Oros for ease of attaching and the inevitable adjusting
I agree. I'll probably use the Oros from now on but I definitely want to bring the large size into the shop as the medium is borderline with heavier Nymphs.
@@niccollsvideo I hope the shop does bring in the large Oros 1.05” size for the nymphing situation you describe, I would pick some up for sure. P.S. the stock photo on the shop’s webpage shows a large pack
Have used both, now find Oros to be much better. It’s inline and cast better. If you mix colors, orange white, easier to see. Oros for me…
Great presentation and content! You are very articulate and you express yourself well, and I enjoyed the pace of your speaking.
Appreciate it Richard!
Airlocks all the way used them for years but I put two rubber washers on to stop them moving
Not a bad idea at all. Maybe they should start shipping them that way. I know some people who take the rubber out and find that works too.
I also still have one of the plastic ones and they ride a little higher and make less of a splash on the water as I prefer them but can’t get them anymore
@@grahamkay8711 Totally! I have one left and I ironically never use it because I don't want to lose it.
I lost mine last year at beaver and went out of my way to get it back lol but I still use it every time
Smaller air-locks don't have as much force against them, mass resisting acceleration upon casting and lifting off the water, and resistance as they are pulled through the water. I only use the tiniest ones, as they are every bit as buoyant as I need. Same with Oros. The smaller the float , the fewer problems the float will produce. I used to use Turn-On strike indicators. Those were NOT super floaty!
Would love to see you do a video about carrying cameras while you are fishing? What camera do you think is the best to bring in your pack?
So we personally like the Olympus Em1-Mk3 platform because of it's ruggedness, and the computational technology and IBIS that let us shoot without a bulky tripod. Lately we use the newer OM1 which is very similar.
THe Oros make it a bit harder to see where your line is to get it in the slot b/c the full radius of the body obscures it. Plus it's 'smooshy' and tightening them down on the line means your torquing on a 'smooshy' body, not a harder, stronger, yet tiny, nut.
if you change the color one on side you can see when your nymph rig is at the correct depth because the indicator will flip over
What purple fly line is that in the intro?
That is the Airflo Power Taper. Really nice taper for turning over heavier flies like streamers and nymph rigs.
