Thanks Chris, good sound advice for someone just starting out with LRF like myself who’s a fly fisherman by hart. l use Silver scales materials in my bait fish patterns great movement.
Hi Trevor, I'm really glad to know it's helpful to you, if you ever need any help please feel free to drop me an email. Great to know you love our products too :)
Excellent videos which have helped this newcomer build a starter kit. Wondering if you have a link for that jig head box as it looks really useful. Look forward to browsing the rest of your videos 👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you found them useful, unfortunately the box is no longer sold. It's actually a fly fishing box that Snowbee used to sell. If you look around on the internet you should be able to find something similar.
Great video Chris! A newbie in fishing started this summer, found it hard going amongst the big boys at Brighton Marina group - with complex rig, snood and jig settings, too much to take for a beginner. I find your videos fairly comprehensive and very helpful for a beginner like me. I am now looking to follow your tips and catch a few nice fish. All I need now is some steady weather. Please keep your informative videos coming, greatly appreciate these. Kind Regards, Monjur Elahi
Another great video. In part 3 can you cover some really basic things, such as how to attach different types of rig to the mainline. Every video goes from "this is a rig" to "fishing with the rig". I'm new to LRF and finding quite a few of the basics aren't addressed - I can understand that lures will be tied to the leader, but with dropshot rigs is this formed from the leader or attached to it? Thanks in advance, GS
Thanks for the feedback on the video's really appreciate it. The basics are often overlooked when making video's like this so I will endeavour to rectify that :)
My current equipment is: Rod - Shimano Catana EX 2.1 MTRS 7 to 21 gems Reel - Shimano Exage 2500 FA or Shimano Stella 4000 FB Line - Multifilar 0.105 (I don't remember the name) with a shockleader 0.28, or less, from Seaguar Lures - From vinyl to hard ones, off course in tiny sizes. What do you think? Is this correct or do I have to change (Anything or all off it)? Please I would appreciate your answer. Best regards Vasco, From Portugal Lures
7 to 21 grams is way too heavy for lrf, that range is more suited to fishing big soft plastics and hard lures. I would recommend you look at rods in the 0.5 to 10 gram range for lrf. Reel wise a 1000 size reel is the perfect match for 0.5 to 10 grams. Braid should be 0.4 - 0.6 pe ( 6lb - 8lb ). Small soft plastics from 1" - 2". Hope that helps.

Hi! May I ask what is the leader you showed on this video? Im curious to know what's the breaking strength/thickness. Thanks
Found both these videos really helpful. Subscribing was easy decision, looking forward to browsing rest your videos.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the sub :)
Great advice Chris..
Nice video. 👍🏽
Thanks Mark :)
Hello my friend,
I saw a Shimano Catana EX right?
Wath are the specs of the rod, if you please?
Hi, for lrf you need a rod in the 0.5 to 10 gram range. The rod I use i 0.6 to 8 grams.
