Great video, I so agree with your assessment of both types of fishing the fly rod to me is more like going on a recon mission to locate and ambush where spinning or conventional is cast and relax. I am new to saltwater Fly Fishing and practicing your casts are a must to be successful and for many that have no patience it would be complicated and frustration will set in so this style of fishing is not for everyone and when a person passes that level of casting then they can learn and try wrapping their own match the hatch flies during the off season. I love this type of fishing specially on a long stretch of beach and you won't have to drag or carry so much just enjoy the scenery, Peace.
Really good breakdown. I don’t know anything about fly fishing but live on the IRL and want to get into it. This was a great explanation of the basic differences!
Can you do a video on the flys? Like what fly lures to use for saltwater? That’s the part I’m confused on, like flys for redfish etc all different saltwater game fish. And where to purchase them.
Same boat for both set up’s? I see on a lot of these videos guys fishing from low profile skiffs . I’m used to a 6’ center console casting platform with conventional tackle for (“long distance “) sight casting at reds I’m wondering if i just fish from the 2’ casting platform from the bow I’ll be okay. My fear is that the fish will see me from 50’ and get spooked since my boat has a tall center console . Your thoughts ?? Thank you for posting your content.
2:14. If the spinning reel holds 200-250 yards of line, and you can cast half of that-wow! Could you do a video that shows us how to make 300-375 foot casts with a 1/8 ounce jig? Just kidding-I get what you mean. Generally speaking, if you can see the fish, fly fishing is better. If you can’t see the fish because they are too deep or too far away, spinning (or bait-caster) gear is better. There are a few caveats, like when you are tight to a bank and there’s no room for a back-cast, or if it’s super windy, using a fly rod can be tough. If the fish you’re targeting are keyed in on small food items, fly fishing is better (think trout, bluegill, and sometimes bonefish). And there are many times when either will work equally well or equally poorly.
@@tailwaterflyshop yes its nice but at my place in San diego California it's mostly blind cast unless I go to the shallow sides and look for bone fish.. it's so fun on 6wt with the fight on any fish.. until the winds pick up 🤣

Thank you. I have used your channel to learn so much the last few weeks. Helping me get through the cold of the midwest winter. Thank you
glad we can help Jay!

What backing and main fly line is on the fly reel you showed in the video?
The only thing that's scary is the price - 3 times a spinning reel setup!

i like to use 6WT bay salt and surf
I've been throwing a 6wt recently a lot too. Hits the water much softer than the 8 when it its bluebird skies and no wind

Its fly fishing in salt water. Simple.
