I’ve watched about 30 videos of Tyler’s in the past couple weeks and have become a better fisherman than I ever thought I would be
That’s what I love to hear!
@@TylersReelFishing surprised you haven’t sold a course
Also thanks for the help. I snagged a 4 and a half pounder at my tournament with a shakey head yesterday. 👍
Why’d you snag it 🤦♂️
It is amazing how leader technique changes by fishing style. I enjoy bank angling, large weights, large casts, and thick thick leaders connected the thinnest line we feel comfy with.
Really enjoyed this video helped me learn more since I never use leaders.
Awesome!
Amazing video bro. You never fail at informing us about new things 24/7
Always my goal!
Always pull them down left or right depending on there direction of travel during the fight. If you don't want him to jump. Reel in like crazy if they do jump. That works for me. I like your informational videos. Thanks.
I felt the pain with the beast coming off. Keep them rolling Tyler, good info.
I lost two giants today both over 5.... Gotta keep moving and keep casting. Awesome video as always and thanks for the tips!!!
This happened to me the other day. You were doing a good job keeping the rod tip low. When the bass jumped, that “dogging” tension on the line from the fish set you up to miss it. I would set my drag even more loose. It creates less opposite tension when that fish comes up to jump
Thank you I was wondering about leaders
leaders are also go with braided line because they allow some elastic for the fish. gives him a little stretch. Also good to use with a swivel to keep your line from twisting from a spinning fish.
Nice video. These really help new anglers. I’ve been learning all about knots, but haven’t braved the FG knot. I’m still trying to perfect the double uni. Dressing it can be difficult. Thanks!
You got this!
Thanks for the vid man keep it up 😃
Great video really helped me out but I use the Albright knot for leaders
You always make great quality informational videos kept it up bud
Thanks for watching josh!
Great video! Ive watched so many vids on this topic and you nailed it thanks!
Awesome, thank you!
Tip: There’s a tool I use for my FG knots that allows me (with practice) to tie an FG knot in under 5 minutes consistently even while I’m out on my yak. It’s called the Daiichi Knot Assist 2.0. Never thought I’d spend $40 for almost tying tool but it makes it a breeze to tie FG knots. Another TH-camr says the FG is not for light lines but you can go down to a 2# test with it. Definitely worth looking into.
I’ll totally check that out!
Saw another video where a guy tied the FG knot... if you leave a longer tag at the end, you can burn it with a lighter... that will keep it from fraying. Noticed that on your FG knot. Great video :)
Thank you Wayne!
This video couldn’t have come out at a better time ima go gar fishing this weekend
Awesome!
fantastic info thank you
I am glad you enjoyed it and learned along with us!
I have seen guys sweep their rod tops left and right, towing the bass into changes of direction. I assume it foils breaking the surface and those lure tossing head shakes. The only other factor I can guess on, is whether you think you rod tip was too stiff or tip was too fast. It seems like keeping tip down is the way to suppress the jump, but right as he does break surface (anyway) the lure gets more lateral throw space because the tip is directly to his side, versus the near-zero left n right jerk of the tip if you had it directly above. Seemed like you were head that way at the break-off. I think bass can shake faster than rod tips can recover. And maybe the fluoro needs to have more stretch? Possibilities!
Four wrap surgeon knot. Small profile, and passes through the guides almost silently, and is super easy and quick to tie, especially in cold weather. I tie on 6-8 feet leader with copoly usually 8 pound to my 50 pound braid. Great vid as usual!
Great insights!
When you feel the bass to jump start cranking as fast as you can so that tension stays tight no matter what's going on because holding your lying down is just going to let your rod tip bounce I know everyone says put your rod tip down when the fish jumps well put it down and crank crank crank
on my spinning reels i use 20L.b. braid and 12 to 14 mono or floro and i use a BLOOD KNOT and make 6 or 7 wraps at each end of the knot. and it holds up very well for me. for me the BLOOD KNOT is easier for me to tie
Good advice
Oh that jumping Bass, I feel your pain. I fish straight mono or straight Fluorocarbon in the super clear water I fish. I am thinking of trying leaders next year to save some money especially with Fluoro. The info in this vid will help.
You’ll get way better casting distance and less wind knots on braid for your spinning rod
Also using a leader, especially with new / young anglers, when they break off you leave less line in the water ie trash. 👍
in the world of surf casting we use something called a shock leader and we use one because it takes the force of casting heavy leads and baits
I love you showing us your misses. Thats the real deal
Tyler this rubbed off on me this week. Lol. I lost 4 fish in two days after this. My wife said “you sound like Tyler”. Lmao. We love the vids bud. Keep it up.
Haha that’s great
Sweet boat wrap👌
Thank you!!
Try the Loon Outdoors UV Knot sense? saw a video a week or two ago of this being recommended. Smoother for going through the eyes, and makes the knot stronger. For what it is worth.
Hey buddy, I just stumbled on your channel and am very impressed with how you make everything so easy to understand, loved the video, and I just subscribed. Great job , keep them videos coming. I will be watching and learning something new 👍
Love to hear that!! Happy to have you on board
i use the john collins knot for my leaders. its incredibly strong and almost never snaps off
The worst reality in fishing..... big (and small) fish will get off. My best bass shook a chatterbait right at the boat and it was a horrible fishing. Keep making awesome videos. They have been a huge help for me personally. As for connecting knot, I go with the Royal Polaris knot. Has yet to fail me fighting fish.
What length do you use?
Great video i love the channel
I appreciate it a ton!
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the trend of micro and midi guides. I find that these (even the midi guides) make it very difficult to fish with a leader on bait caster gear. My first midi guide (Shimano SLX) I had either significant or partial impact from the guides affecting my cast ( FG Knot getting stuck in the guides). I would say as many as 1 in 10 casts would be less than optimal. This caused me to move that combo to straight fluoro setup. More significantly, I find myself looking for older rods as all the new specs have either micro or midi guides. Thank in advance. Love the channel!
Micro guides are trash
Hi Tyler, you should check the GT Knot since it's easier than the FG and science has proved it through tension tests to be the best connector knot. If you search the tube you'll get that video with strength comparison 💪
GT knot is what I use
I’ll check it out
Hey Tyler at 6:40 you say you want the leader knot outside of the reel. Totally not at all saying your wrong but when I go to Lake Erie or ultra clear water places I sometimes use 20 foot leaders. With the FG knot I’ve found I can do it perfectly fine 👍. But you also said it causes some damage to your leader line itself and I’ve also had this problem but only on certain reels, sometimes the line guide on the reel has some play and I’ve found that on certain reels yes the leader line rubs against it and causes some damage. But I’ve just played around with other reels that I like until I find one that has no play or “space” for your line to dig into 👍 just thought I might be helpful 🤷♂️. I’ve only found very few reels that do this ands it’s usually the lower end ones that cause some of the damage. Not to call out any brands but I had an abu Garcia Revo S and I had that problem with it, but that’s the only so far
I think ( and I could be completely wrong) that the term leader comes in part from the textile industry, or may go back even further when textiles/ fabrics were hand woven. It's basically a tow, line, or woven section (which is disposable and cheap) that allows there to be tension on the material you are working with, making it easier to work with, and not lose the valuable material due to distortion/damage. The leader material would be afixed to an anchor on one end and the valuable material started on the other allowing tension to be increased and the valuable material to then be woven. It's carried out throughout the composites industry now, and we use paper leaders to keep tension on the product as it goes through a machine of basic compaction rolls, and then rolled up at the end of the machine. Without that leader, our product wouldn't be able to pass a series of physical characteristics tests required by the customer.
Uhhh who cares?
@@chuckscherer951 Did you watch the vid, or did you just come to the comments of a randomly picked vid, just to scan comments until you found one you thought would help aid in you showcasing how much of a douche you can be ?
Always wanted to know what they were. Now I know. Everyday is a school day. Cheers dude.
Hey Tyler I have a fishing tournament and was wondering if you could do a video on fishing deep humps on lakes
Eventually yes!
Sometimes I'll use mono main line and floro leader because floro is ultra clear but mono fish can see.
NICE VID 😉😃
Hey bud just wanted to say great videos recently found Jesus and am living a new life congrats on all your success he is all powerfully be blessed my brother
That is so amazing! And fills me with so much more joy and people catching new PBs 🙌🏼 PRAISE GOD
Once you have a fish on, keep the tip of your pole above your head. Tip up! It will hold the fish. Tip down it becomes easy for the fish to spit out.
😎 nice shades! 👍🏼
The best!
Caught my first giant bass ever last night ( for me) but he jumped at the wall and I lost him. So here I am researching lines, and what’s best so it hopefully doesn’t happen next time
The FG is where it's at, nothing compares IMO.
You sir have a new subscriber
That’s awesome! So glad to have you around!
I really want to go fishing but it’s cold and snowing but I will try the leader but t he pond I fish in can be clear and murky so what should I do tie a leader or keep my braided line on my spinning reel. Like your vids you really make me more knowledgeable about fishing so can help my friends!!
No need for a leader in true dirty water
What if the water can vary each time I go out from clear to dirty would I then put a leader on
I use braid to floro on spinning reels simply to eliminate wind knots
You asked for feedback here so I will say this. Watching a Swindle BassU video he said something that really stuck with me in my fishing. You can't quote Swindle perfectly, but this was the essence, "I don't let the fish take me on a tour of the boat. I'm not leaving the front deck. That don't mean I won't play a fish, but you're not going to see me hanging off the motor catching a fish."
Great insight!
Dude, I feel your pain!! That's the worse feeling to have a big one and then it gets away!! :(
Hey Tyler do u know of any good utlralight spinning combos amazing vid as usual
I don’t use those a whole lot
But if you’re fishing in water that has pike or musky it would be a great investment to use a steel leader so you don’t lose your lure.
Maybe a video on the Tokoyo rig sir
When spooling the baitcaster reel for the first time, it was recommended to use mono first and connect it to the main line (braid). This prevents the braid slipping inside. Do you use the FG knot to connect or a simple double uni knot will suffice?
In the spool, double uni
@@TylersReelFishing awesome. thanks!
Using a leader with braided line is also due to good fish can cut the braided line a lot easier due to their rough mouths than fluorocarbon and the best is mono. But Braided cast well and has good feel cause it doesn't stretch. So using a fluorocarbon or mono leader with braided line is good practice. To tie your leader on use a FG knot. It's shown to be 20-30% stronger then other knots over multiple tests.
Thank you for the input!
What's your opinion on swivels? Are there advantages and disadvantages for using them for your leader vs just knotting the lines together? Or are they more of a specialized use?
I never use a swivel. They are clunky, and if you reel them through your guides it’s gonna destroy em. It’s also 2 knots (one to each side of the swivel), so more to go wrong. The swivel also sinks at that point, so it will make your line have a weird bow in it underwater. Just don’t do it haha, there are no advantages to swivels over a good leader knot
@@TylersReelFishing Awesome, good to know! I had heard a little about them but was unsure, thanks for the info!
Bloodknot 🤙🏼
Tyler I'm going to buy the lew's super duty with the power handle 7.2.1 gear ratio can or do you own one please tell me how to use it please I'm going to use it for snook and redfish you are the best and I can understand the way you teach on the gear you use
Super great reel! Make sure you click through the Tackle Warehouse links in my video descriptions to order! That tracks you to my account and helps me make affiliate income👍🏼
What about in a bait caster? How long should your leader be in a bait caster?
When you forget you have homework due tmrw and u realize when your about to go to bed 0:54
John 3:16
Can you do a video on when and why to use a snap swivel
I don’t use one
Great Video! How long does it take to perfect the fg knot, oh and does it effect your casting distance.
I can do one in like 5-7 mins haha. Yes, you get more distance, but to me it is about the strength
oh alright sounds good I'm gonna have to learn that
Can you do point fishing tips
Wassup Tyler!
I've been fishing for 25 years of my life and I actually prefer the double uni knot for that reason actually. Because if I have a really strong monster fish on there and I'm using heavier braid I'd rather break a leader with lure on it.
Instead of run the possibility of breaking a $70 to $80 rod because my braided line won't break. Of course I was taught to go by diameter of braided line in equivalent to monofilament instead of actual lb test which is why I run that possibility in the first place.
But it's just the system that has always worked for me because when I first started using braided line the technology just wasn't there. And braided line back then would actually break at far less then what it was actually rated for back in the day.
So everyone just went by diameter in equivalent to monofilament instead so it's just kind of a force of habit at this point.
Sometimes it doesn't matter how tight u can keep the line, when they jump, if it doesn't hook them where the hard parts n deep, it'll come off.. had my fare share.
Do you Suggest to Connect the Main line (Braid) to the Leader With A Swivel or A Knot is More then Anough?
Thanks For Sharing Mate.
A knot, every time. Don’t use a swivel for freshwater
When using a swivel or swivel clip for spinners etc would you recommend braided line on the reel with a double uni knot to a couple feet of your fluoro (enough to go from reel to the tip of you rod) then tie on the swivel and more fluoro to your spinner?
Or just tie the swivel to the braid then fluoro to your spinner?
1. Don’t use a swivel or snap
2. Yes braid to fluoro works great
@@TylersReelFishing Thanks! Just worried about line twist with spinners. New with braid to fluoro. Tend to target stocker trout here in WA. Working my way into bass and using crankbaits etc
Best thing about Ugly Sticks is their durability as well as great price
I like those glasses! Where ya get them
Hey Tyler: You can split the difference. The Alberto knot is easier to tie than the FG knot and stronger than the double uni-knot. On all my spinning reels, braid as main line works amazing with this knot as braid-to-fluoro leader knot.
Learned it from these two videos th-cam.com/video/WgUilEfdGO4/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/roHMWeL9yCQ/w-d-xo.html
Great insights! I have heard good things about the Alberto, but never really looked into it
Man, that was a big bass! Is that Travis?
Yes!
I have a lake near me that has one part of the lake dark and one ultra clear. The entire lake has topped out hydrilla Matts near the shores. The dark part of the lake is the only place I can catch fish and I have tried jerkbaits spinnerbaits chatterbaits and Texas rigs. You name it. What can I do? Thanks
You’ve got the right idea for dirty water. Check out this video for clear water!th-cam.com/video/nZ-fNejYG70/w-d-xo.html
I'm no pro like you bro but I think you had to keep your rod low
Can't be a good fisherman, because he doesn't cast and reel with the same arm!🙊😄
I believe it's called a leader line simply because it leads the main line, meaning it is out in front of it.
Dont let them get within 3 feet from the surface within in that is their response to jump, as the fish comes closer to you drop your rod and wind it to you not up to you.
TRF word of the day: "gottahm" (near the end of the vid)
Was a little late today due to a lot of school 😂
Very informative video but I don’t understand this ,fish can see the leader or the line but can’t see fake lures ? Interesting.! .
Maybe life bait with FC would be a great Idea .
I will try to learn more about FC because I love fishing
Thanks
Of course they can see the lure haha! You are convincing them with the clear leader, that it’s swimming and appears to be real.
I only have 2 reels. 1 spinning and 1 baitcaster. I put straight mono on my baitcaster and braid to mono on my spinning reel. I have fluoro and I want to put braid to fluoro on my spinning reel but then I can't throw topwater. Any suggestions?
Stop throwing mono on your baitcaster, first off. Flouro is a much higher quality line. Then do braid to flouro on your spinning rod. Then get a 3rd bait casting combo, or at least just a reel, and have straight braid on that for topwater. You can’t do everything in fishing effectively with just 2 combos
Loosen the drag, don’t horse them unless you’ve got the gear ie rod and reel. Also rod tip down. I’m a fairly new angler and these what I focus on.
Yea.he new it was gonna break , and still yanked
how long do u make the flourocarbon leader
If fishing in clear water, would you use a fluro leader to catch bass even when there are known presence of pikes?
Yep! Pike are gonna snap you off if they are set on that, no matter what line you got (except steel)
Does the knot for leader impact the cast as it goes through the eyes
Not at this line size. With 50lb braid and 20lb fluoro yes that knot would impact casting distance. But a double uni or FG on 15lb braid to 10lb fluoro will have little to no effect
When you feel he's about to jump lower the rod level so the jump is also low and close to the water. Reducing the amount of time the fish has to toss head side to side out of water.
I did that though…
what rod are u using?
Do fish see the line itself or the shadow the line casts?
Wish I had the answer! I’d assume it’s the line. Thin thin fluoro doesn’t cast much of a shadow
The only knot I can tie consistently without fear of it failing is the palomar. Could you tie a swivel to the braid using a palomar. Then tie florocarbon leader to the other end of the swivel using the palomar as well?
Yes, you could. But don’t. Learn the double uni, it ain’t that hard
You think you would every come to NorCal cause I got some good spots
He might not be but I’m down I’m always looking for new spots to fish 🙌🏽
Seaguar Tatsu 👌
The best!
I've been having problems with these fall bass. Any baits you recommend?
Omg a lipless crank bait all you do is real in fast then stop then real in fats then stop it and keep doing that it catches mega fosh
@@pl4life306 Thank You
@COLE BUCKNER Thanks
...why are some lines called Leader line? What makes them different to be designated as such?
Rod tip up my guy! Gravity is your friend when they jump.
Additional tip: Asset domanince with a steel leader when your all out of leader line.
Haha
Hey tyler I use the gt knot...super strong and easy. You should try it
I’ll check it out for sure!
When you fishing on Gibson again. That’s the lake I fish on and saw you caught zero last time. Redemption video???
I don’t think I ever got zeroed on Gibson... at least from what I remember haha
Give the GT knot a try. I have a video of how to tie it on my channel. Very strong!
What is the purple rod that you have?
I know its been a year but looks like a KastKing Royale Legend Pro to me
