Never Get a Tangled Fly Reel Again!

[@ruebdogg1]

The hair looks absolutely FABULOUS today Brian!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. This was a few months ago but his hair is still FABULOUS. We think he got it cut the other day. Twice a year....need it or not!

[@GeorgeLeite]

Great channel. I was into fly fishing as a teen. Then life happened. Now after 40 years i am ready to pick it back up. Your beginner series is great.

[@Der_Kleine_Mann]

A life without fly fishing is no life 😜

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for being here and keep MRO in mind for your future fly fishing needs.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Agreed!

[@orosflyfishing7807]

Great ideas Brian! Thank you for sharing. We've been using our Oros indicators at the end of the leader, but reeling it in until the leader hits the rod tip. We like how you did it running the line through the hook keeper and then attaching the indicator to the end of the line. It's a great way to start or end the day.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for being here!

[@stevewilliams5173]

I have some of the oros that I bought from you. I can now put them to use until I need an indicator. Great idea.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. It works!

[@charlieboutin3341]

Had a good laugh when they mentioned the peg-board in the background. “I’m Not responsible for that!” 😂 Great tips for reel storage. Have a safe and fun 4th of July MRO crew! Thanks guys! 👍👍🎣👌💥🇺🇸

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching and same to you!

[@toddwhitehead1907]

Loved the rubberband tip and love the indicator tip even better. Thanks for all you do for us!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching!

[@j.d.7574]

Chuckled at the "Christmas Vacation" reference. As always, enjoyed the video and thank you.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for being here.

[@michaelraum3393]

Just found this channel and I really like it! Useful information presented clearly, and the guy reminds me of Jeff Daniels so that’s a big plus

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.

[@richardjones2129]

Thanks Brian for a good Oros tip. Theres nothing more frustrating than getting set up at the water n have to detangle line n leader b4 tying on a fly to fish with. God Bless n Fish on!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for being here.

[@scottgraham3492]

Love both of those items that you showed! I will have to get a couple of those Roros and use that.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for being here.

[@jyoung11jy]

Thanks for sharing this tip Brian! Over a year and still no underwrap... except now there's one less excuse for how that last one got away!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. His video on spare “excuses” should be out soon. Stay tuned.

[@jyoung11jy]

And does this mean I'm on a team of scientists and chemists? If so I need to ask for a raise at work!

[@sturisa]

Thanks Brian, I know exactly what you're talking about. I better check my reel right now! I don't have any of those OROS strike indicators so I'll try the rubber band trick.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching!

[@skylazart]

Nice tip thanks! Those time saving tips are awesome 👏

[@Madriveroutfitters]

[@markcook2980]

[@RoryLynott]

Super smart, love it. Thank you!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@pmdun45698]

Pretty handy tip. Thanks for sharing.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@GeorgeSemel]

Well, for 4 decades, I just thread about 6 inches of tippet through one of the open holes on my fly reels. I need to buy some of those indicators. I am also in the market for a 6 wt fly rod too!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

We'll be happy to help!

[@tomm6431]

Simple but great tip.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for being here.

[@larrycipollone7202]

Awesome idea! Thanks

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@jimholland1592]

You are brilliant 😉
Y’all have a safe and happy 4th 👍

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching and same back at you!

[@myrlstone8904]

A question - do the knucklehead knob extensions stay firmly in place ? Compatible with the Lamson Liquid reel series? If so, they’d be a great help to me, 75 year old stiff fingers. Great tips in today’s video.
Thanks

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Yes, the Knuckleheads should help you out. Feel free to e-mail or call the shop if any further questions.

[@williamnybakken1486]

Great tip. Is the book about leaders still in the works?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. The book is getting close! Stay tuned.

[@dominiquesauvage2547]

Great idea thank you

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching!

[@robertprestwood3093]

[@sinsini2952]

Can somebody help me here?
My new set comes with free fly line, but i dont know what type of line it is... the sign "this ends to the reel" is not there also, so i dont know if it is weight forward or not... the size of the two ends are the same also😂... so im confused

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Please contact the folks at the shop directly and they will be happy to help. You can email them or give them a call. Thanks.

[@rustydog96]

Wonderful idea….seems so logical…why didn’t I think of that??

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@agashamnon]

I guess "mad scientists" was a bit too on point @ 3:02 😂

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Probably so? Thanks for watching.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@jeffdurocher8669]

Just today i wondered how my line was so messed up. Now i know.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Happy to help. Thanks for watching.

[@averagejoeswhitetailextrem3438]

Pro tip. No more wasting time at the ramp trying to get my line out of there.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Happy to help!

[@warrenhorne6432]

This trick will stop the Tippet/leader getting caught between Spool and Reel Cage wrapped around Reel spindle.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

And much, much more. Thanks for watching.

[@feeblesmith]

Two peices of Lego blocks also works well for this.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching.

[@RyanGr33n]

Am I the only one who just threads my last fly back through all the guides, reels everything up and just sticks it into the cork handle?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Yes.

[@pecosnick45]

Do it with airlocks all the time.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@JB-tz9pi]

HAHA i learned this the hard way the other day.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Most do at some point. Thanks for watching.

[@pizzulo8111]

Fly fishing with a bobber. 🤦‍♂️

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Yes, that’s pretty much what it is.

[@jasonsfishingagain312]

Male and Female? Did you just assume that bobbers gender?!?
🥸
What I always do is leave a few inches of leader out and thread it in and out of the holes in the side of the spool. It stays locked in there and I can still play with my reel like a 40ish year old child.

[@Madriveroutfitters]
