Fish on

[@gabrielevens8473]

What kind of knot are you using to tie your leader to the gamakatsu bead hook? I lost a fish the other day, and I think the teeth of the fish was slowly cutting the egg loop knot I used. I used an egg loop knot to get the right hook angle, and also be able to easily switch over to bait if I want/need. Thoughts?

I typically also tie a standard egg loop on most hooks. I have not had an issue like that. Interesting..

Why don’t bobber doggin floats give a specific maximum weight size

[@FishHuntNorthwest]

That's a good question. Most manufacturers mark them, small, medium, large. I think it is mostly due to the fact that the amount of weight you drag, is always dependent on current flow. I find that I am changing weight multiple times per day, so I probably, more times than not, run a medium weight float..

[@rickysimmonds2681]

Because you don’t have to match the weight you can tick 1/4oz on a large float it’s just an indicator

[@rickysimmonds2681]

Think about it like this when a steelhead slams your bead in fast water do they really care about the resistance of the float no they don’t they’re already hooked and jumping when you reel
Down

[@rickysimmonds2681]

@@FishHuntNorthwest it’s essentially trolling your stuff down the river and when it slams or does the classic bounce bounce bounce like it’s getting slammed by a huge trout reel down and swing it’s just an indicator for what your setups doing down there. I like to run a big float because it tows your gear better and keeps it from snagging vs if you ran a torpedo float it’s getting sucked under every time that lead hits.
