Nice man, what line are you using? And what way do you join your leader to the line?

The line is a sort of indicator for buzzer fishing (last 2 feet flur orange). I actually get the lines direct from a factory in China, basically unbranded big name lines but without the crazy prices. They have a integrated loop on the end and I just blood knot my leader to that.

A lad that fishes with me for salmon said the same about a sage rod he had ,he got it from China its unbranded but apparently it was a sage
I never really believed him and always gave him stick with his Chinese copy ha ha

Won't be telling him anyway

I get rods and reels also, it's only then you realize the mark up some of these companies put on there gear....frightening.

Love the corrib. It's a beautiful lake though I've only fished it once but shot duck on it years ago and it's always been a nice day on it.
Seen pics of monsters been caught on it.

Hi gary29428

Great Vid and thanks for sharing it.
I fish out of salthouse ( Cross ), possibly not to far from where you fish from.

I dont fish buzzers but i do intend to take it up , i also plan on tying my own.
Just wondering if you use barbless hooks on your buzzers?

Thanks

My brother in law has a few business's over there and put me in touch, I then ordered a load of stuff as "samples" to check quality.

Been on it about 20yrs now, only living 10mins away now so it's great for popping out for a new hours.....

Had another great day yesterday with 13 fish, got some real good fish yesterday to nearly 7lbs, will do the video tonight and stick up...

thefisherbuy

I was thinking you had plenty of time experience! To get a fish 4lb+ on my rivers are like wining the lottery, must go out there this year!

I think you've inspired me to give it a go over the weekend. I don't know if you remember but you're the guy who saved me one day by offering me your boat birth when my trailer broke down..

Lake Boat for fly fishing,

i need some advice in lake boats, I've been fly fishing all my life and i'm now at the stage where i would like to invest in a lake boat. This i hope will in time be handed down to my children for them to uses. Firstly i need a safe boat that can take a wave if caught in unfavorable condition. I my experience in mostly with sheelin boats and i'm to believe that the wide beam is a good choice, from what i down Lynch and Ganley's are to be a good choice of boat that are suitable for Coon, Corrib & Mask. I have a 10Hp Honda 4 stroke and would be looking to change to a 15 in time however the engine i have is about 44Kg and its heavy, Heavy enough that a Sheelin boat probably needs Hydro Foils?? Aqua Planes on the Stern? Not 100% on the lingo but im sure you get the idea. Either way, i really like the look of the Ganely, However there are Arrow, Lynch, Davidson, Burke, Sheelin etc. I.m a big enough guy and on most boats i've been on i have noticed that the throttle arm can be difficult to maneuver however i have noticed boats where the pilot seat is forward from the engine making it more comfortable. i think this is a major consideration, also i would like peoples opinions on fiber glass in comparison to timber frame. and ballasts i thinks these are incorporated into most of lynches boats. as i said this is a one off buy and i hope to make as good a decision as i can with the information i have and hopefully my children will get this use from this boat too.

Have you any idea if that gear would show up on aliexpress or alibaba?
