Great video

Am a subscriber - great video -what make vise are you using. It has a curved stem.

Hi Gunnar. I am a subscriber and would like to know who makes the curved stem vise you are using.

What brand is your vice?

Hey can you redo these videos sometime! Would love to learn this from your channel but I cant make it though these particular videos

Try the pachmayr pro diamond grip on the sp101 made mine perfect for me

So I’ve been enjoying fly fishing. Where I live I have fished for small native brook trout and stocked trout. Using 2wt rods and sometimes 4wt. I cast a non weighted dry flys 98 percent the time. I have a 8 wt and want to start to target largemouth and do some saltwater fishing as well. I never tried throwing bass streamers and things with weight. I tried the other day and I look like I’m brand new again! Please any tips would be appreciated. I don’t know much about fly lines other than you have floating line and sinking line and you have crap quality vs good quality. The line is floating line that came on my orvis encounter (cheap I know but all I can afford) the leader length looks to be atleast 9 foot. Should I shorten it? Also by what I see you doing, casting weighted flys looks so different in movement compared to throwing a small size 16 caddis fly.

Great video, thanks for sharing.

I have not found that to be true. A rod that will cast a 70ft line will also cast a 25 ft line

Thank you for demonstrating this fly. I have been looking for a large fly l can use on the Murray Cod here as they grow to over a metre long. I have watched nearly all of your videos and l just want to say thank you for the knowledge you share best wishes from Australia

I wonder how much power you put into the cast in order to shoot the entire 100ft. It looks very relaxed and lenient on video. I only manage to get roughly 60ft out with my 8w and a 28ft head (310gr)

Making great memories and the cast didn't look to labored to me I thought it cast well from the video.

You're some personality on video Gunnar!

If you hold back as you unload that flexible rod, you'll cast that rod fine, no tailing loop . With that fast action rod stroke too.

That looks exactly like the river that I live on here in Maine.

First time watcher, I SUBSCRIBED halfway through. Excellent tutorial. Hello from Maine.

Cool video

Well that makes sense thanks for the video

Thank you for claryfing that! Very helpful! How about those half size heavier??!! Thanks

Bump

Algorithm

Dry casting without a fly is one thing. I'd like to see this same demonstration with a hookless heavy fly to see how things work.

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!
