I liked your video a lot, great info. But please don’t throw away the tag ends of your line like that. Even if you pick them up later, tossing them to the side like that makes it look like your discarding them then and there - we want our fisheries to remain as pristine as they are now for our kids and grandkids to enjoy.

@C.Abbenfield 11 ай бұрын

I absolutely agree. Very comprehensive and also enjoyable video, but lately I was just shocked by the amount of garbage and leftover plastics left by fellow fisherman at fishing spots, so I think we all should try our very best to advocate taking everything with us at all times. Keep up the great work Alan!

Great video again Alan, The mistake I made when I started soft plastic fishing was that I had too much slack in the system. Especially when there was wind creating a bow in my braid. I started having more success when someone showed me how to work that line between tension and slack and watching for that line to dip when you contact bottom. Great sp101 here!
