Why not just tie the braid directly to the top barrel swivel? In other words...braid to barrel swivel to fluoro (slide weight) to barrel swivel to fluoro to hook? I feel like there is a good reason that I'm just not wrapping my head around.
@haltysalty75379 күн бұрын
Good question! I actually asked Ben the same question and what he said made since to me. It's two part- 1. The double uni knot (braid to leader) and then leader to first barrel swivel, is less likely to break or pull loose than braid to swivel. 2. Braid tied directly to swivel has a tendency to twist up and tangle, which I have experienced many times myself. To me, the second reason is the more important one. Thanks for the question.

Isn't it illegal to use a drone to spot fish and fish them in the same day in North Carolina?
@haltysalty7537Ай бұрын
North Carolina law (G.S. 14-401.24) states that it is a class 1 misdemeanor to fish with an unmanned aircraft system (a drone). However, it also specifically states that using the drone for "spotting, locating, recording, broadcasting, or streaming video of fish" or "deploying bait" is an exception to this.

@haltysalty75372 ай бұрын
Great Question. I set my drag on "strike", which is the same tension you would want to fight the fish. No more, no less. This allows the drag to hook the fish. The circle hook sinks in immediately and typically will not come loose. This has been a popular video and I'm getting ready to make a new one in which I clarify in detail many of the questions that have been asked since it's release.
