The odds of my favourite and most informative channel that I’m subscribed to posting the EXACT video I’ve been searching for the past two days is slim to none but of course you guys come in clutch as per usual! Thanks again MRO for keeping my knowledge and techniques as sharp as possible🤟🏽

[jonmiller]

Happy New Year MRO! Please keep these videos coming as my fishing improved due to your helpful videos! Can't wait to fire up my Echo Streamer X this year!

Brian, check out Saltstrong's videos on mono vs fluorocarbon for abrasion resistance. They tested mono and fluorocarbon lines with the same diameter and the mono always beat out the fluorocarbon. I was surprised by the results since the industry is always saying fluorocarbon is more abrasion resistance. I think the main positive for fluorocarbon is the visibility.

Thanks for this; I'll try it for my next pike fishing adventure in Canada this summer.

Lost a bunch of my best Bass lures to Pike and Muskies clipping mono leaders like a pair of nippers. Bass often seem more hesitant to strike when wire is used, so it creates a catch 22 situation.

When you use a 8" or a 12"musky fly
On a intermediate or a full full sink
Line don't you want to keep that leader short ?

Thank you for the video. You mentioned using an albright knot to attach wire tippet to the mono. What knot do you use to tie the wire tippet to the fly? And do you ever use fly clips in this setup to make changing flies easier? Thanks!

[oskarszvagins]

Thanks for your videos. Is it option to add braided line instead of wire?

[SportsRacer]

So for trout in the sound or other fish like blue fish, or anything that would bite flies, will the flourocarbon work?

[telsonalves]

Excelente vídeo, bem.explicativo.
Parabéns.

That feeling when your new fly rod from Mad River Outfitters shows up at your door...

That feeling when you realize the rivers are frozen and you won't be able to use it for four months...

[maxsteinberg]

Could y'all do a video on calico bass? There isn't a ton of info online. Could be a Q&A or a video...

[johnnylightning]

I noticed the PFD in the background, are you guys expecting a flood? But seriously, good stuff Brian. Pike are one of my favorite fish to fish for. Keep the good stuff coming.

I have zero experience fly fishing for toothy critters, which I plan to change this year, so I have to ask: what knot do you use to tie on the fly to wire? Thanks for the great content, please keep up the good work!
