I'm giving you a subscribe and like for the simple fact that you're the ONLY channel on YT that has taken the time to clearly outline the exact weight and size of EACH split shot that is used. I know I speak for many salmon/steelhead anglers
@@dinobernardi170 It sucks when you have to do it in the water. Luckily, if you are running a heavy enough shot line, you rarely have to do the hard part on the water. Usually you only have to replace your leader when on the river! (If you snap off only your leader snaps)
The great part about pegs, are you can peg the bead as tight as you like to! I peg my beads tight enough so that it holds firmly in place, but can slide without breaking the leader line. Thanks for your comment.

I'm trying to het into centerpin float fishing..I use a fly rod rn..Seems to be alot more going on..all those shot ..this that the other thing..Just Seems like way to much to do to catch a fish..I already spend bucks flyfishing..What may I ask is going to be the benefit from going through all this..thanks in advance
@@hookedonthehunt97 Not in NY. The sale of Small Lead shot is illegal in New York. The use of lead shot is allowed in NY if made personally or bought out of state. In PA and other states you can buy it in store. I’ve had luck purchasing from eBay or other websites out of state and having it shipped in!
looks awfully long is this because your fishing deeper water? I would assume if i’m fishing something shallower just shorten everything up to fit what the depth i’m fishing?
It can be one of 2 things. 1. Casting too hard. You have to lob and swing your rig out. 2. using the same size split shot the whole way down your rig. If you start with big shot, and go smaller and smaller on your way down your line, it will get tangled less.
What dictates the weight of my float I notice that I have 3 options for weight I’m a little confused on that I’d be using small 2.5 gulp minnows and single egg and some woolly buggers 1/16 3/32 ounce
It's actually to much weight it's a set up for 10 plus foot of water in a pool or current. Where I live average pool is 5 to 8 ft deep and this set up is to heavy...one would have to alter it to condition

Thank you so much for your kind comment 🙏 I’m glad I helped
Great video helped me a lot with float fishing! One thing I need help with is how to float fish on the river!
Couldnt imagine rigging all that up on the water with cold hands

love this vid. it helped me so much
@@hookedonthehunt97 I’m glad it helped!
My question is once the fish bite the plastic bead then will the bead slide or is it tight enough for the fish to let go then take the hook? Thanks

ty for show how to put my centerpin setup i alway buy from your web
ok thanks
Good day. Thanks for the video. Please tell me, should I put egg in bags on the hook or leave the hook empty?
شرح مفصل ممتاز جداا
Thank you very much!
Do you find the raven line to be real bad for line twists off the spool? Ive used the sufix siege and the yozuri hybrid and find they arent as twisty
@@Pun4200 Yes. I have noticed that as well. I have since switched to PLine CXX on my Centerpin Setups. More abrasion resistant and less twisty.
you need to put more tackel on site because i need few more thing
brother

I tried this setup. My sinkers keep getting tangled. Any help on why it does that.

Will you send me some rod holders my dog chewed mine up
Get some off the site!
@@firstlightfishingcodang it
dont see weight n bead you showing
@@mechanicauto9704 Unfortunately, we Can’t sell those lead weights in NY. The beads will be added to the website soon!
Seems like a lot of shot
I like to do 10 to 15 split shot per rig. I know some guys use 1 to 3 giant split shot. All works. Up to your creativity!
