Very nice and informative video! Thank you, Hobie-Wan Kenobi, for featuring the VARIVAS Super Trout Advance "Bush Trail" nylon line. It's the perfect line for the terrain you're fishing. Tight lines!
I have been liking the line and decided to share my thoughts and why I use it. I plan on doing a Bush Trail review video pretty soon. I have been using it a lot and I believe I have enough time with it to give an honest and thorough opinion of the line.
Always very enjoyable and informative! I spend lots of time fishing small streams for brook trout and use many minnow baits as well. It's nice to gain some valuable pointers.
Another great video. Floating lures work particularly well when weather was constantly sunny (high barometric pressure). The trouts are lurking in the shadows and attack immediately when the lure hits the surface. Bug imitations, minnows, insects…it doesn‘t matter.
My first trout caught (after multiple trips, days of fumbling, losing pricey sinking lures, and getting skunked) with BFS gear was on a 50mm floating lure. It is now a staple in my lure box.
These hooks are #10 Owner C'Ultiva 55-SBL. For 50mm baits, I like either a #8 or #10, depends on where I am casting the lure and the profile of the lure.
I haven’t fished a lot of floating minnows for trout but I’ve done well on rapala originals but the trick I’ve found In clear water streams is something bright and flashy moving fast. I rarely have got them on a pause I usually get reaction strikes burning it downstream in current seams and cut bank. The chartreuse silver on sunny days, purpledescent in stained water.
Clear water can be tricky. The reaction strike gets them to make a decision real quick whether to grab the lure or not. Sometimes, it scares them too. Just hve to see what type of mood the fish are in.
Another awesome tutorial dude. I fish floating lures a ton and still learned so much from this. Also, what'll the fish think if I wear my CAMO John Cena shirt?!
Thank you. I learn from people all the time. People do things different and sharing ideas makes everyone better. The fish won't know what hit them wearing that Cena shirt
Really good and informative videos! Always casual and on point! Do you sometimes use spoons to fish trouts? I've started using them to fish with something different, but lack information on how to properly use them in rivers just like the ones you usually fish...
Yeah. With braid, just make sure you don't lock the drag down and pull hard on snags and such. I plan on trying some of the VARIVAS saltwater line for ice fishing.
@@HobieWanKenobi i think skilled influencers like you are in an excellent position to get into your own retail venture. Who doesn’t love a store that sells only what has been tested to work?

What are some of your favorite floating trout lures?
those copies from aliexpress, thanks to China!
What copies are you talking about? I know some people find some real gems on AliExpress.
U know any of those gems from china?
Not specifically but, A few people I know have ordered a lot of lures from there. you get some good ones and some bad ones from the same batch.
@@HobieWanKenobi ok thanks I recently got some from there too. Buying duos and lucky craft put a dent on my wallet

Another great stream fishing video, keep them coming! Lots of great tips watching your content.
I appreciate that! I am glad you enjoy the videos.

That is good to hear. I am usually a sinking lure type angler but, floating lures can definitely produce when others cant.
Cool video. You answered my question about single hook size for another viewer. Thanks.
Thanks. There isn't one true correct way to rig your hooks. Pros and cons to certain setups

Thank you. Yeah, trout are a lot more aggressive than people think.

The Jackson Trout Tune 55F has been my go to floating minnow recently.
Another great video what single hook do you use ? Also what sizes should I be ordering to match trout size hard bait treble hooks

I use spoons but, usually pretty rare for me unless the fish are really finicky. Fishing them slow is usually key.
I really enjoyed your video bro 😎
Glad you enjoyed it. I am going to be making more informative trout videos soon.
Sry for my Bad englisch, What a net Do you use? And from which brand do you have your wading overal?
The net is Handy Pak Net Ghost Series. My waders are the Simms G3 Guide Waders Riparian Camo.
Good information 👍
Many people overlook floating minnows for trout because they don't cast far. Some great properties to take advantage of.
Guys I am using Varivas saltwater braid for my BFS 😇, is it ok? Thanks for another great and informative video.
Yeah. With braid, just make sure you don't lock the drag down and pull hard on snags and such.
I plan on trying some of the VARIVAS saltwater line for ice fishing.
Will you be stocking a broader selection of floating minnow style lures in BFE soon?
I am not sure what BFE will be stocking.
@@HobieWanKenobi oh i was under the mistaken assumption that you owned BFE
@@AT-eq8kc 😂...nope. I was doing some advising and testing of products for them for a while.

Whats your go to hook size for these lures between the 40s and 50s mm size?
I like to have a #8 size hook for most lures in the 40mm to 50mm range.
Where to you the folding net? Great video.
Here is a link to the net: baitfinesseempire.com/product/handy-pak-ghost-series-insta-net/

Handy Pak net Ghost Series
What size Owner snaps do you use?
Smallest I can find 😂. Usually #000 or #00
