Why not take a tiny piece of lead free wire and jam it into the slot of the bead to secure the bead in place? With that being said, you have a neat idea there.

I don't see a strike indicator. I've never tried a squirmy before, but want to this season. Strike indicator unecessary? Whoops, never mind, I see it now. Great way to tie that one!
@SoggySleeves3 ай бұрын
Definitely not required! Although I was actually using a small indicator in this video. One of my favorites ways to fish this fly is as part of a tandem streamer rig. Even swinging it on rivers has been very effective. I can’t think of a way I haven’t fished this fly.. I guess other than as a dry fly haha.

why no 10 foot floating head off of the chucker?
@SoggySleeves3 ай бұрын
Since making this video, I have been using a 10’ floating MOW tip on and off. I actually don’t notice much of a difference with it or without it. My roll casts lay out straight just fine either way. I will say that I find it helpful to add a MOW tip if you suspect your chucker line is a little too light for the rod you’re using. The little bit of extra weight can help load the rod better.

@robgrubb4203 ай бұрын
so no switch chucker fly line? or skagit head? you are just using 30 foot of t14 tied right to the lazar mono?
@SoggySleeves3 ай бұрын
That’s right. This is just for my sinking line set up, stripping beetles, boobies, buggers, etc. Lately I’ve actually been using my full-intermediate line as the running line, and attaching the 30’ sinking tip to that. Easy since they both have a loop-to-loop connection. I’m sure I lose a little bit of distance, but the thicker diameter intermediate line is easier to handle, and tangles a little less. As an added bonus, I often find myself removing the sinking tip, and just fishing the intermediate line with a slow, hand-twist retrieve.

Attaching the backing to the lazarline which knot do you use if if seen other setups it looks like a double loop as the nail knot is to slick what's your take?
@SoggySleeves5 ай бұрын
I usually do a loop-to-loop connection, with loops big enough to put my reel through. It makes it easy to add or remove portions of my overall setup without having to unspool the entire thing. To create the loop with the lazar line, I just do a double surgeons knot (use gloves or something when synching down to protect your fingers). I use a Bimini twist when making loops with backing. It’s probably overkill, and in reality a double or triple surgeons knot loop would probably do just fine, but I’ve always done the Bimini twist, and applied zap-a-gap afterwards, and it’s never failed.

Dude, love your videos! So, just to clarify, you are not using a switch chucker or switch line per se…more like a combination of lines starting w backer, mono, sink and finally leader? Looks like over hand casting using the water to load your line on the back cast and then at the very end, the two hand grab for the final forward cast. Looks pretty challenging, not to mention wearing gloves. How long to get that down for an experienced fly fisherman but novice Switch user. (Been coming down to Pyramid for a few years but my aging shoulder and forearm are begging for a rod/casting change up.)

I'm so grateful that you said a 7wt rod and up , on the get-go. The reason for this is that it's so important to think about the fish and that fish's future first. It's so critical to have the right rod to get it done . I say this because my years and Mentors of fly fishing always said use a rod that will bring the fish in without killing it , don't overwork it or play it out , otherwise you jeopardizing that fish's health and life . Way I write this is because I see way to many people out there using light gear like a 5wt or a 6wt . This just blows my mind. You're going to kill that fish . I see this behavior in humans, especially on the Trinity River catching steelhead . If your going after larger fish have please have the Decency to use a rod that can bring them in fast and get them back on their war . Respect what you love. That's all .
