Quick off the cuff video discussing the AFTM system for measuring Fly Lines relative to Line Wt. Class. What is the system? What information does the AFTM system provide? Is that information currently relevant in the industry? AFTM reads as follows: A uniform 6wt line 30ft long, should weight 160gr. Which can be written as: The Volume of a cylinder x the Density = Mass (Pi x r^2 x h) x p = M r^...

Modern Musky Meat: Bucktail Dubbing Brush Design - Best River Fly Style

A full Step by Step focused on modern style Musky Flies. This video breaks down how I build my Bucktail Dubbing Brushes for building multi-sectioned extended body flies for targeting Musky. Bucktail Dubbing Brushes are not "the allusion of bulk", as many flies claim to be, yet most still fall far short of such (besides Popovics' BEAST which is the Gold Standard). But instead, it simply builds b...
Using Water Weight to Cast Monstrous Flies - Echo Musky
Переглядів 3,6 тис.7 місяців тому
The weight of the water can be a positive and negative aspect of a fly. So often, it is called out as the issue with casting big flies, but that is not entirely the case. Depending on the material composition of the fly, the Water absorbed by the pattern can often be the biggest aid in casting the fly out to distance. In this case, the Water tension of the bucktail reducing the overall profile ...

Introduction to Dropper-Shanks: Custom Shank Building
Beautiful. Have you ever weighted this fly or put eyes or a weed guard on it?
Just finished the explanation of the numbers, sounds awesome; I wonder how likely this is to be accepted by the fly fishing industry?
Looks great, can’t wait to tie
Yeah - youre good - and you know your stuff. Impressed (and subscribed)
Gunnar, l'm just getting into big fly tying. I know you love mono thread. It has alot going for it, but l have one problem I can't get away from. A few wraps and it starts twisting, making bad looking Flys, but more importantly weakening the mono. What am l doing wrong, and how do l fix it. Thanks buds. Being a big fly newbie, your tutorials are so helpful for me.
Are you buying pheasant pelts with wings to get that marabou or do the pelts without wings still contain the good marabou?
Gunnar, I have split many types of feathers mostly waterfowl.. You might try pinching the base quill in your vice or clamp it to your table with a wood working clamp from the hardware store. And please, this is how I was taught by some great classic Atlantic tiers. when you begin the splitting process pull out and and away from the quill at approximately a 45 degree angle. Anyway, thanks for all of your great tutorial videos. Young may you have my admiration. you are one hell of a tier. Please keep it up. Kind regards
Can I use normal braided backing for this? I guess it's not gonna be as clean but it might work.
Wool head is also my name
when you test for the frequency, you said you measured 432 grains and put to tip with rubber band. That is not the same amount that deflected the rod 1/3 of length. THere was barely any deflection. I don't get it. what am i missing?
Great tip about those Aquateko swivels. Thanks for the great intel on the leaders!
Do you have an updated link to your store for materials? The link above says page not found. Thanks.
for a 4wt would you recommend the 8' or 8'6"?
My understanding of balancing your flies with your fly line set up is finally starting to grow thanks to you. Thanks again, 😁
The only and perfect way to chose a fly rod is by feeling the fly rod when you are at the store shopping for it, just be aware of what is the most of your presentation is going to be to that particular fish. Forget it about numbers if 5or whatever weight is nonsense. The same goes with the line, I don’t shop fly line by weigh but sometimes I use grain weigh as reference point. But you never go wrong by learning to feel your equipment. 🤔
Great video, I really like your explanation of how the two different flies have a different movement. This is the first time I've heard that.
Great vid! Was wondering if a 6 foot rod is harder to cast for beginners like me. What do you think?
Hey bud, do you have a good trick for getting your flyman tank motor to run slow like that? The adjustment plate on mine can only do so much. Thanks 🤘🏻 love the sculpin. Last time I tried pec fins I had a lot of trouble getting them equal. Your videos are full of great teachings. I'm a complete rookie. But pretty obsessed
Love your work, today I can’t see 100 the porpoise of the entire single hand test casting a switch rod 🙃 Perhaps is a profitable content issue, but we need to be more realistic about the casting conditions Gunnar I know you know also, that everything you see here will change as soon conditions change… Be well brother Keep up the good work 🤛🏻
Mano y Mano….
Looks like a gold fish 100% nice I am going to tie this up in the 7 8 Inc range for some pike in montana
Old man here - tying your stuff these days - you CAN teach an ole dog new tricks - I love your teaching, great stuff and I have made killer big flies - Thank You Very Much!!
does anyone have an opinion on whether to measure the entire length of the rods or just the blank all the best Hannes
Now that is a thorough review!! Nice job as always Gunnar! Looks like a great “Big Fly” rod!
But , you never weighed the baggie! You go through all of this, even weighing the rubber band but not the baggie. God stuff even if slightly flawed. BTW, that's my favorite streamer rod too!
Good point. Plus weight of paperclip in the original measure to “full deflection “.
Gunnar you're the man
I really like this! Thanks for bringing this information! Love it.
Nice but why is the total rod length used in the calculations? Shouldn't it be only the length from tip to handle. Otherwise two rods using the same blank would produce different results if one had a fighting butt and the other didn't.
Awesome 🤘
Not one single big shot top casting video tells you any of what you showed here, this is the best acting guide on youtube!
Great video, just got a 7wt combo and looking at upgrading the line for streamers, feel a lot more confident buying now!
When does the Brammer custom chippewa rod come out?
Totally informative video (I'm a techie type). I have a number of Winston 5 piece LT rods (circa 1996 or thereabouts) that I am trying to find modern fly lines for. This will be what keeps me from purchasing the wrong line for a particular rod. Thank you. God bless
What a legend!
Nice to see this video. It is important to remember that the CCS doesn't measure "rods." It measures action, power and speed. Pennies should be 1986 and thereafter. The forward support point for the rod should be a location that is equal to 10% of the rod's total length. Dr. Hanneman was quick to point out, however, that ERN = ELN (effective line weight) was only a suggestion for matching a line (at 30 feet) to a rod. Otherwise, ERN is simply a measure of power, higher numbers being more powerful than lower numbers. Same with the AA (Action Angle). Higher numbers indicate faster action. Subjective terms are not used in the CCS. Dr. Hanneman was a friend of mine. I published the original Common Cents System articles in RodMaker Magazine in 2004. In your case, 133 pennies equates to an ERN of 13.31.
Very well done, thanks. Could you do the same calculation on a commonly used Spey rod? Then the people who own that rod could compare the result to what they already cast on that rod. Would the result apply to both Touch and Go casts as well as Sustained Anchor?
From many years of flyfishing i believe this is all BS. I have several rods that are rated for lines that are 1 or 2 weights to light as far as i am concerned. The line system was generated to clear up the confusion but the line and rod manufacteres have muddied it all up. The system has become worthless imo.
The weight of a line changes as you move more or less of it beyond the rod tip. Any rod will cast any line AT SOME DISTANCE. The same rod that loads nicely with 30 feet of a #6 line might do better with a #7 inside of 30 and with a #5 at much more than 30 (beyond the rod tip). Sadly, few manufacturers today still adhere to the original AFTMA line weight standards.
Hi Gunnar, I love your video, I have two questions, do you calculate the entire length of the rod with a handle, and where is the contact point where you attach the rod at the front all the best from Iceland Hannes
A walk in thee woods with Gunnar while he pontificates nothing but facts
The data base you will be doing for rods will be really useful. I’d like to see the data for the Echo rods and BC Big Fly rod you previously reviewed.
Gunnar, thanks for reviewing! Lovely rod. Did you fish it in spring at better temperatures? I'm very curious, tia!
Hilarious. The caveman’s routine 😂
Chill out, man. You sound as if you were witnessing the second coming. It’s just a fish. Good grief.
This was a fabulous video. I just started open water fly fishing for smallmouth and was strip setting and still losing fish. Now I see what I was doing wrong was only doing 1 set and not until It was right
How would it affect the action of a deceiver if I finish it with a longer craft fur dubbing loop? Two stacks tied in straight, three reverse bulkhead stacks of increasing thickness, and then long craft fur head draped over the bucktail. Worried it might affect the density/water push, as the bucktail butts are concentrated from the 50% point on the shank to the 25% point, with the craft fur on the front quarter.
Excellent video and music Gunnar. The fly is kinda nice too…
👍 nice
Cool
Hi Gunner! Hey man I love this one! Where do I get the recipe and some of those long hooks?
Probably shoot better if you weren’t wearing your kid sister’s jeans.
