Your the first person that I've heard that says that! I've said this to my buddies for years, and to this day they think I'm crazy. And it's not just fly leaders. I believe the same is true with spoons! Which is even harder to explain due to the non absorbing spoon material. But....I believe it.
Awesome video! Love every video you make as they are very informative and honest! Keep them up and happy fishing!!!! I have learned so much from your videos I can't wait to get out on the big pond when I get my new boat and setup for it!
This system works great with hootchies also been doing this since 1985 on the west coast you just have to cut the hole in the hootchie head a little bigger
Just curious, why not put a swivel at the other end of the leader instead of that half hitch? It would make changing flies easier and never hurts to have an extra swivel in there.. would it hurt the action of the fly?
Also why are all of salmon candies flies blue, green, or some mixture? I like using tried and true colors and methods but I’m always trying new colors and methods, that’s half the fun of fishing
our hottest fly is the Hulk UV, hands-down. and sunny day or dull day, it doesn't matter, it just catches. now something i have found, is that their leaders have very poor quality-control. never, ever put one on out of the package. i've yet to find one that has a knot tied properly. every one is different, no two knots are the same, and most aren't even fishing knots. but worst, not one of them has been pulled tight. and the leader lengths, in the 24 & 30 inch, they've been spot-on. but the slider fly leaders, oh my. 9 leaders and every one is a different length, from 11" all the way to 19". one might as well just order their trebles(which are superb) and tie your own leaders. oh, and, something i've done, is i'll fish the fly backwards, running the leader through the opposite of normal. i find it gives the tinsel more poofiness and makes it pop/pulse. not positive it produces better, but i catch with it that way, so that's all that matters.
Then why do many top salmon anglers scrub their lures after catching a fish with dish soap? I know when i lose a good flasher and fly combo its hard to find a combo that replace it. So, i cry when i lose or break one.
I couldn’t figure out why big part of leaders are always new in my box. Seems those couple always getting used and abused. Anyone wants to exchange my brand new leaders to your worn out ones 😂?

Thank you, Salmon Candy works awesome on my side of Lake Michigan too
Great video Russell. A bit confused though some guys swear by scent so do you have to put scent on the fly or just pull it natural. Thanks Mike.
Thanks Russ! Good stuff!

We have new colors this year that are different for sure
The loop knot is easier to tie to leader measurement and absolutely no need for a swivel on a fly our hootchie rig because they don't spin

Hey there I live in picton where can I by some of your flys
www.thereelshot.com or salmon-candy.square.site
So same beads on every color of fly? You believe bead color does not matter?
I believe it is a small viable that is mostly covered by the fly. The clear uv beads work great and help simplify the puzzle
Great info. Thanks
Hi Russell, love your video's, what's the color or name of that tape you have on that second flasher you show?
That is a new salmon candy flasher called Russell's Black Magic with transparent uv tape over it
Do you have them for sale?
Steve Lajoie they are on the site
Do u think the skirt material can hold those enzymes also?
Kyle Matesic I’m sure some but the fly slides up and down the line so Alot of the time it’s not even in the fish mouth
Russell’s Fishing Tech I’ve never thought about this but I think there’s a lot of truth to this. Thank u

I don't know anybody on the great lakes that do that. They might talk about it in a joking manor.
