Awesome vid - instructional and entertaining! I bought a new pair of canoe paddles and someone took them. So I refinished my old ones in a "Hello Kitty" motif. So far, nobody's wanted to steal them.

I approve of these tactics!

Thanks brutha! Just got my first drift boat and I’m excited to hit the rivers on the Kenai Peninsula! Kenai is closed at during the king season but I’ll be hittin the Kasilof regularly!!!

The end of that was 😂 hilarious! Well done content too. And yes I had a handful of fiberglass splinters and it’s no fun!

How did the refinishing hold up over the last several months? As a rafter primarily, fisherman secondarily (who uses their oars a ton between both worlds), I don't think you're doing it wrong. But if I did this myself, without watching your video, it would have been massively more complicated. So you are right.

Great vid, thanks! How about a video on counterbalancing oars?

Love the fiberglass splinters, friends love them too!

Thanks from a fan from somewhere other than your home state but who currently resides there. I resisted watching this. WTF does it have to do with me? Then I realized I have a “push pole” on my 13’ Whaler that is used to push off rocks. You know? Where the rockfish are? I vaguely remember that they were there. I think I might remember that. I might find out if we’re ever allowed to fish again. I moved to MD from NJ for fly fishing for striped bass. Seems you were ahead of the Huge fly fisherman curve. I’ve got another Stay In Place project thanks to you. Thanks.

I was confident the paco pad wouldn’t injure him. Risky, though.

@joewaterman5216 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing this topic. You mentioned counterbalancing oars. Any recommendations on how to counterbalance?

@HugeFlyFisherman Жыл бұрын

In short; take the blade out, take the foam plug out, add lead shot, add fiberglass resin. There are some nuances.

@mickfarrell6622 4 жыл бұрын

Are shoal cut oar blades really that much better for fishing than standard blades?

@HugeFlyFisherman 4 жыл бұрын

Personal preference, but I like them a lot. I’ll never go back to square blades.

@AboutTrout 4 жыл бұрын

I agree. Shoal cuts are the light

By far the best part of the video. More of Jr. Please.

So, I got my oars used and pretty beat up. Realistically, how much of the old varnish do I need to remove? I don't need them perfect lol. There are just some big gouges and deep spots. Do I need to go with heavy grain sandpaper before the red scotch guard...or just get them smooth with the scotch guard and call it good? TIA!

@HugeFlyFisherman 4 жыл бұрын

Light prep, heavy spar varnish.

@IWillNotArgueWithMorons 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! Heavy...like 4 or 5 coats?

@HugeFlyFisherman 4 жыл бұрын

At least 3

@Wy.ty.onthefly Жыл бұрын

How many cans did it take to get 3 coats?

@IWillNotArgueWithMorons Жыл бұрын

@@Wy.ty.onthefly Oh 1 can will do 4-6 coats I would think. Didn’t use the entire can! Good luck. Just make sure you get even smooth spray and let it dry an hour or so between. Cheers.

My IQ is lowered. Not from watching this of course, but from not wearing a safety masking and inhaling fumes while trying to do this myself.

Has anyone ever mentioned that you look a bit like another KZfaq fly fisher named Captain Quinn? You both have beards, you both are comedic, you both do "How to" videos, and you are both full of yourselves.

No but I like his videos. And yes.

Actually, he’s way more humble than me. Seems like a good dude.
