Been fly fishing for ~20 years and I learned a lot from this. Excellent video and great explanations!

The best tutorial I have ever come across on how to rig your Flyfishing reel 👍👍👍

For my nail knots, I always put on some kind of glue to strengthen the knot and help it run through the guides smother. It really helps me!

Amazing video!! Thank you so much for making it! I had no clue how to do any of it..and now..I feel like a pro!! Great Job!!

Thank you! I'm very new to this and I've just learned something important.

Thanks! I got a fly rod for my 15th birthday today and this helped out a lot!

I watched a few of these and this was by far my favorite. Very clear. Nice job. I just rigged up a fly reel tonight never having touched one before.

Excellent video! All the information I needed and no time wasting filler footage. Well presented too. Thanks for posting.

So helpful, thanks for making this video! Setting up my new reel tonight, hiking into a lake to test it out tomorrow

This is such an excellent video and super informative. Thank you for taking the time to show us newbies how to properly set up a reel. Great job!

Incredible tutorial - calming and reassuring, Mr. Rogers could do no better and that's meant as a compliment. Watch this after a stressful day at work (super stressful day, add some bourbon) and you will be totally calm and relaxed at the end.

Excellent demonstrate, can't wait for my fly line to arrive to try this out!
