steelhead set up

[hodgey911]

thats sorta stupid u can fish like that but there way better results from a float some split shots an swivle with a 2 foot lead and a tiny hook

[hitmhard]

@hodgey911 The one place where I fish most use this setup. But I have seen some float fishing and wouldn't mind trying it.

[normiefive]

No information. Weight of leader missing. length of leader missing.Extra beads serve only as distraction

[hitmhard]

@normiefive Maybe you should try reading the description!

[Saugeendrifter]

dude makle the switch to float fishing, you'll lose a lot less tackle, usually just your hook. make sure your leader from your barrel swivel is at least 2 Ibs lighter than your main line. float fishing is more sensitive versitile and you'll lose less tackle

[jkhightower]

@Saugeendrifter I dont know... You might save money by not loosing tackle, but you spend 5 years worth of tackle on a good floating rod and reel. I seen one the other day at the bait shop for about 550 bucks. And that was just the reel. How ever... If I had that kind of coin, I would surely switch to floating. Would love to try it some time.

[topwaterpros]

hey nice set up!, would you join our forum? the link is on our channel.

TOP BEAD IS  USELESS

[wikiwikiwias000]

how do you drift with that kind of set up

[wikiwikiwias000]

do yu use this setup in still water or harbors/piers?

[hitmhard]

This setup is for drifting.

[commanderdouche]

@hitmhard yeah no its not fucktard your bottom bouncing essentailly, but to much terminal tackle.

[dirtbikemike69]

There's no purpose for that top bead...?

I've found that unless Im fishing LOW water I like a fixed weight vs. the sliding setup.

[hitmhard]

Really theres no good purpose for either beed to be honest. This coming spring i'm gonna try just a two way swivel a drift sinker and attach the leader line to the two way. This setup someone showed me last spring. Good luck this coming spring!!

[jazzmandave]

The top bead stops the swivel from jamming up into your top guide and possibly causing problems. The bottom bead protects the mainline knot.

[dirtbikemike69]

I've never had that happen and I never use a top bead. Why would you reel it that far up to cast?

[jazzmandave]

In the heat of fighting a fish and possibly trying to land it on some types of banks or boats, reeling the fish in close to you, one day you might reel up to the swivel faster than you meant to, but also I like it there for storage of the rig....I can just reel up to the bead, snip off the leader and Im done.

To each his own, its not a big deal, just easy to do and I like it.

[JamesDafydd]

Thanks for the vid. Just starting out on the steelhead side of things and need all the help I can get. Is there anymore to add to this? What goes on the swivel clip, any float??

Thanks again.

[hitmhard]

Thanks for the comment! A drift sinker go's on the swivel, and the wieght of your swivel depends on how fast the water flow is. As far as the floater i use either a little corky or a little styrophome* ball. If you use a spawn bag you have the option to choose weather or not you want a floater right in the spawn bag or one w/out. Another tip, watch your drag. You need to tire these fish out to bring them in. Good luck!!

[ReallyPsilly]

That's exactly what I use for Coho in Oregon.

[airesivan]

Thanks, you are the only one in this whole youtube that taught me that.

[mrzipperlips]

yeah thats the terminal end of a sliding drift rig. I like to solid tie the rig myself, take the beads out, and minimize it. ever try fish pills instead of corkies?

[hitmhard]

No, i haven't tryed pills, what kinda pills are you talking about?

[Warrin70]

good set up

[mrzipperlips]

go to the madriver manufacturing web site.. they make em- deadly
