Just had to revisit you leader/bite guards...going out Wednesday to some Tiger Muskie water. Miss ya bud!

Awesome video! Would you change leader size for an 8 wt rod ? Or stay the same? Thanks!

Mr. Kotter -🎉 let’s bring on disclosure

Honestly one of the best general fly fishing videos I've watched. You're a phenomenal teacher! Edit: Also can't wait to catch my first Musky at Lake Audubon this spring!

Tell us more about the 9 weight leader system you use thanks

Let’s say I want to fly fish for pike… but I only have an 8 weight rod. Can I still do it?

Very helpful thankyou! But what kind of rod was that pike musky 10 wt

Not new to fly fishing but new to pike and musky. My question is about leader setup. I’ve always made my own but not sure about this application. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. A combo for Lake St. Clair fishing about 10’ Any suggestions? Thanks 🎣🎣🎣

My plan for this spring is to try fily fishing for pike in my local waters here in Michigan. I'll be starting off with my 9wt St. Croix Avid. Can you provide a list of materials and lengths that you used in the video?

Such a fantastic reflection, thank you for capturing the essence of connecting with community!

Which knot do you use for the loop in the bite guard?

Love this set up. It’s my new “go to” however I do have a question. Now that all my flies have 8” of bite guard on them, how do I store them? What do you use for fly box? I’m guessing if I have them in there current box the leader will become bent with memory. Might be a pain to try and straighten out while fishing. Curious to see your set up on storage. Thanks!

Do you cut of the front taper of the Depthfinder lines ? I'm assuming that as they comes in 30' heads and you say you around 24'. I personally like short heavy head 20-25' I never fish the depthfinder. I have use shooting head and mono shootingline started whit that in the 80s the only bad part is the junction! In the old Cortland whit lead tread you could push in the mono in the core and come out the side and do a looking nut and wind of whit tread and glue. But as the new standards come to play this is not working any more. We don't have Musky here in Scandinavia but big pike we do have. And they take on big flies some days! So that 10/11# is ideal here. Most people go for 9/10# rods and lines. Intermediate is popular here but I basically never fish pike whit those. Sink 3" and sink 9" cover it as I'm see it.

This is now 100% my new set up!!!!! Thank you!

Nice strong leader setup. Another more time should be spent discussing / showing the knots you are using.

Hi, have you ever used a glass rod for Muskie?

Love the “haven’t broken a tooth yet” because whenever I do that people ask why I don’t use clippers. I also do not use clips

Awesome info!! Thanks for sharing. No Muskie in my area, but plenty of Pike ;-)

Awesome video. What's your opinion on a entry level Pike Musky rod reel combo. That's not going to break the bank? Fishing dark water rivers in Northern Minnesota.

Hi nice 😁 That's the only knot that works perfectly! What you use for Tarpon as well. Nail knot but I use way more then 50lbs specially nearest the flyline! I go 80lbs but I my down size to 40lbs at the tip if needed for those days fish is grabby and not bite at all. For big flies I go 3' of 80lbs mono and a 1' wire that's how I do it. Like your channel 👌 Best regards from Scandinavia and Sweden 🇸🇪

why dont you use non slip loop knot to fly?

Thanks for the info. Just started researching musky fly rods. On a side note, where you poking these pigs in Kentucky? Keep up the good work!

Do u ever use a 2 hook system

Where are the best places to purchase musky flies? Thanks for the video it cleared up a lot of questions.

Why would you exclude the brand?

Really digging the videos brother

Thanks so much. What wt rod do u recommend.

Same leader on a 8 to 12 weight rig?

I spin fish and wondering if I could tie this on a 1 or 2 oz jighead and, In your opinion, get a similar action? Great videos!

Nso how does it have an outboard motor on a jet boat...???

Dumb question since I'm not a fly fisherman. What's the advantage of zap a gap over regular super glue?

Awesome info brother! I was wondering, what reel do you have paired up with the 12wt rod?

Great info. Just came cross your CZcams channel. Don’t have face book. Can I get to premo tail with out face book. Thanks

No jaw spreaders . They are barbaric things that should NEVER be used . If you chin hold a Pike , it will open it's mouth anyway . If you care about fish care , do NOT use a gag or jaw opener/spreader .

Grunt Style!!

awesome cat , really enjoyed it, thank you.

We need new content!!!!!!! Lol

I don’t even fish for Muskie or pike but I’m holding an imaginary Muskie rn and I don’t want to hurt Imagi-Muskie.

Hey there Pogo I tried to buy from your kit but there seems to be a problem with the link, thought I should make you aware

Interesting leader setup that I’m going to try. Question though; I feel like the swivel would cause the leader system to hinge during the casting stroke. Does this not happen or do you have to alter your cast somewhat from a regular leader system to prevent it from hinging?

Best Musky & Pike rod, reel, and line break down ever! Tight lines all!

What was it that you use for the bite guard? And what do you use for your main line

i love the way this guy explains things so easily. Anyone know where he’s located?

Great info thanks, I'm going to try fly fishing for pike this season, subbed!

Hey Pogo, do you see any issue running ~3 ft 30lb salt hard mono to a barrel swivel with bite guard with a lock snap on the end?

Me suscribo saludos desde España

thank you, awesome video,Thank you for sharing, I don't understand when you say that you take out 3 o 4 feet out the shooting head? Please advise¡¡¡ Best regards.

Great editing on this! Real life fishing, friends and family having fun! Awesome.

I have always just used the welded loop for my muskie fishing and I feel like it goes into the guides decently for figure eights. Would you suggest using a nail knot even if a flyline comes with a loop?

Just found your channel. Great tips
