Loving the content....even getting in to your older content. All hail the Lip Blade! Being from FL I don't get to do your type of fishing on these streams etc...I find it very interesting and it's on my bucket list. Keep up the good work and rocking that blade!!!!!!
@@HobieWanKenobi Or they get mad and start throwing their gear. Or drinking while operating a boat. I seen one the other day tossing torn plastic baits into the lake smh..
Great tips for skinny water fishing... that's something we do not have a lot of in Mississippi, atleast in my area. Gotta watch out for Cottonmouths, Rattlesnakes & Gators too... Lol 🍺 🎣
@@HobieWanKenobi Yes, they were horrible this year in Michigan, worst than Mississippi. Last year was completely different up there, almost no mosquitos. You guys had perfect breeding conditions for mosquitos this year... Thank you again for taking time to do these videos 🍺🎣
I use that exact same Plano box when I'm wading small streams in SE MI. I find it really handy, I keep my floating minnows on one side and sinkers/suspenders on the other, plus one divided row for terminal. Plus the latches so far have proven to be very strong, I've had bad experiences with two-sided cases before from the latches failing but that one youve got is much, much sturdier.
Greg with the small guides on bfs rods is it better to use your main line or line with a leader. On over hand cast line has been snapling on the brade be hind the not.
Casting light lures on light line, backlashing can break line easily. Using a leader will provide some cushion when using braided line that will give you less chance to break your line on a cast. Braid is really finicky.
Howdy. Did that belt come with the waders? If not what belt is that. Also what short (shorter than 6 ft rod) would you recommend for tight trout fishing with a shimano calcutta bfs hg
Very interesting! A backpack would be too much of a load for my back and it would start to hurt too soon. I prefer carrying my stuff in a hip bag. This way, I have no weight on my back and can fish throughout a complete day (well….I don‘t have to care about camera equipment ;)). With regard to your rod prototype….this plastic/rubber material doesn‘t make a high quality impression. Maybe a different design would change the esthetics? Keep on doing your good work Hobie and greetings from Germany.
I used a hip bag for a while. It works and is more accessible than a backpack. I keep my lures in my waders so, anything that would be needed beyond that, isnt needed quickly. For the rod, the grip is carbon fiber. This is also a prototype. The reel seat threads are not exposed and there are some minor cosmetic differences.
@@HobieWanKenobi wow…Carbon fiber….this is for sure a completely different story and of course high quality…I got the wrong impression in the video, sorry for that!
@@arnemueller2112 No problem. Carbon fiber is not used very much on BFS rods. I wanted to make the rod different and performance based, not overly focused on cosmetics. I want customers' money to be paying for performance. I never used a rod that a fancy reel seat or AAAA Portuguese Cork made a difference when catching fish.

Thanks 😂. I have some bass fishing and bluegill fishing I still have to edit so, a little more applicable.
I am looking forward to seeing it!!!@@HobieWanKenobi
This is great, perfect information to help get started.
Everyone has they own little ways to get ready for trout. I have changed things a little since this video too!
You're probably my favorite fishing channel. Just real fishing, like the rest of us.
Thanks. I have watched a lot of fishing videos and yeah, lots of them focus on everything besides fishing

@@ForYeshua1 Thats a shame.
Very good video again 👍 from uk wales🏴
Thank you Ben. Looking back I should have shown all my gear and such. Maybe in a later video

Biggest thing I have to watch out for are mosquitoes. They are TERRIBLE May in late June. They are manageable after that.

The snow and ice melted pretty early this year. By the way, that Zephyr BFS video is going to be coming soon

I have been liking it. I been using it for years. I had a prior one for ice fishing I broke but, they are not expensive and readily available.

They belt came with the waders. I would suggest the Tsurinoya Ares or a short glass rod. So much fun...and functional.
If you haven't yet, 2in easy shiners can be great. I only fish stocked trout in a pond however I don't think anything wouldn't hit it at this point.
Those baits work great for bigger trout in lakes. In rivers like I am about to fish, they would get pushed around in the heavy current.
Love the video!
Glad you enjoyed it! I changed out some of my gear for this year
Dont know how you dont lose those sinking ryukis. And the stretchy jig looks nice for crappies as well.
I am careful tying knots and, I check my line for abrasion every so often.
Always nice to see what you use and the specs of your gear. But wheres the load-out fishing part 2 😂
I will be filming that sometime soon. I will go over what I pack with me and lessons I have learned over the years.
What is the plastic you were using on the jig?

Good evening! What is your bait box?
Hello. The box is this one: Plano 3449-22 Small Double-Sided Tackle Box
@@HobieWanKenobi 👍
You are very welcome.
Wanted rod info....
Custom NFC glass?
That blank is a contender for the rod.
@@HobieWanKenobi what was the green rod you were using or is it a secret? Looked like an NFC fly blank build.
@@robcarey4189 That one was an NFC blank modded a little
@@HobieWanKenobi what weight and what length did you go with?
I love the single hand grip. Got an NFC order in the future.

@@HobieWanKenobi I must admit that cosmetics are important to me but you are obviously right 👍
This rod will have nice cosmetics. It will not add to the rod's cost as much as some other stream BFS rods.
What rod are you using?
That's a custom rod I am working on. There will be a small batch release coming soon.
I’m interested!
@@HobieWanKenobi когда будет релиз удилища? Нужно больше информации!🙏
