    Last year I got into using BER centerpin reels they are on the higher end as far as cost but they are the best in my opinion. Have paired it with a Bloodrun Skein Cane HD perfect set up for Salmon/Steelhead.

    When i stopped steelhead fishing id switched over to a flyrod. I got back into it this year with a spinning rod. If you're a beginner id HIGHLY recommend a spinning rod. Way easier to cast, can use flies and bait, jigs etc, and although getting a drift anywhere as good as a centerpin is tough its definitely possible and easier to cast. That being said i just got a 10.5 pinland rod whoch has a Tennessee handle so you can use a centerpin or spinning reel and though listed as a 3 weight and ultralight its basically like my light action spinning rod of the same length which has been just fine. Ive never used a centerpin, so until im used to casting with it ill probably put my spinning reel on when fishing bigger water and need to cast further. For a spinning reel, im never spending more than what a Pfleuger trion or president costs. Most reliable spinning reels ive used, good drag, only difference between the two is the number or ball bearings. Like he said, mono is where its at for float fishing, i used braid a lot this year and it worked decent, but i just didn't want to take it off because it was expensive and didn't feel like using a different reel. Use high visibility to you can keep track of it for mending. Then i always use flouro for the leader because of its stealth, and i make it long as i can without having to put my float on it. Obviously its lighter than my main line, its 6 to 8 lb..mostly 6 even if im not salmon fishing, and putting the float on the main line to not lose it. Sorry for the essay, not trying to sound like an expert im sure this gentleman knows more as ive only just gotten back into it.

  • @isayoldchap1
    @isayoldchap1 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great video overall. Certain brands of monofilament float but many do not. Raven mainline and other similar brands are made specifically for float fishing. Those have been treated with a special coating to give that effect. By itself mono has neutrally buoyancy causing it to sink albeit slowly after it breaks through the surface tension. Braid does float but I don't consider it great for float fishing because during the winter months it freezes due to absorbing some of the water. Plus I find it harder to manage and it tends to wrap itself around the rod tip which gets seriously aggravating.

    Hey Matt, have you ever tried or heard of people using brook/speckled trout roe. Apparently it is the same size as brown trout and gives great results. Lmk what you think ?

    • @MatthewMazFishing
      @MatthewMazFishing  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes! I've used it myself, ive had good luck on it. I prefer smaller roe as I find it milks quicker. This is what ive found in my experience, however most often im using beads!

    • @MatthewMazFishing
      @MatthewMazFishing  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thats sweet man! I personally prefer using mono. Ive heard of some people who use braid however mono is more buoyant where as braid is a more neutral buoyancy. Therefore, mono will sink less making it easier to mend your line. Mono also does not soak up water in the same way braid does, further reinforcing that it is more buoyant. Hope this helps answer your question! Dont get frustrated, it takes time to learn to use a pin, im sure you’ll be a pro in no time!😁

  • @IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13
    @IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    If I use braid I like to step it up to at least a 30# test for it's flotation properties. A 30 pound braid is about the same diameter as a 10 or 12# mono line so you aren't sacrificing anything and getting better casting and line flotation.

    • @IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13

      But I also am not a centerpin guy. I fish casting and spinning reels. But someday soon I will make the centerpin purchase

    • @MatthewMazFishing
      @MatthewMazFishing  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The problem with braid is it’s made of fibers. It’s a fabric-like material. Therefore, it soaks up water. This causes it to be less buoyant. Increasing the diameter would not fix that, it would actually soak up more water and make it difficult to mend and manage your line. I know people that use it, im personally just not a fan. To each their own!

    Okuma floatreels are ok. Rods too. Luhr Jensen & Rapala are some other reel/rods to check out.
    For Niagara Salmon I would use 12# Mainline or more.
    Use a heavier rod that can handle the leader strength.
    Use 8-12# fluoro-carbon leaders for jigs or zonkers or skein.
    fish on.
