I just want to say Joe you are such a great asset to the sport! As a novice you have helped me so much over the past 2 years! It is these videos that you put out that helps me, your great explanations and insight are appreciated! And I am not a free loader, I make sure to support Red's. I bought my Echo Shadow 2 from your shop and have bought other supplies and I encourage all the other viewers who watch these videos to support Red's they deserve our business! Keep up the videos, they are appreciated by beginner angler's like me. If I ever make it out west I promise I will stop by the shop!
Joe I gave this a go this summer! Literally a game changer! Caught so many more fish and all with a nice upper lip hook set!
Thanks for that explanation. I have not given enough consideration to why it works so well. I use an identical set up down-under in NZ and it works like a dream.
Awesome set up. Thanks for sharing it Joe!! Will try it out this week!! Stay Fish N it!!
Awesome set up! I’m digging the Young Life hat too!
Joe, thanks for this! Great innovative set up. I'll be trying this out this coming season!
Wow gonna have to try that. That hinge makes a lot of sense!
Hey Joe Yes ! It is a really cool simple system. I have been utilizing it for some time now with very good success. Love your vids mate. Cheers Craig (NZ) 😎
Joe, Very helpful, thanks for all your practical and understandable videos! Hey like the Young Life hat!!
You’re speaking to me. I love this setup with the loop and tippet ring
Trying to noodle through how we could make this an adjustable system somehow but it’s making my head hurt . The ease of adjusting any style of indicator up or down (including wool) without the fixed ring/hinge (to deal with water with lots of depth changes) may outweigh the advantage of having the hinge. Will definitely put this into practice.
Excellent system - Thanks for sharing! Man that T&T Contact is a handsome looking rod!
Thank you for sharing Nice video I just tried this in the San Juan river in New Mexico with my own built in leaders and I caught more fish using that rig then then using the rio leader and a Thingamabobber I would recommend this rig to anyone for fly fishing
Been doing it that way for years, but not with the tippet ring at the end. Great idea for an even better hinge.
big thing i noticed in stillwater with yarn is theres no resistance from the yarn when a fish takes it so they dont spit it immediately like they do with really buoyant ones also the yarn is so sensitive to everything its just the best and its not close also not as much tangles if any once youre used to it and dont have to keep your casting loop so open
Going try this setup next trip out! Creative!
Great video Joe! I love the NZ indicator system but am incorporating the tippet ring hinge this season. You do a great job of explaining your topics. Thank you!
Thanks for another cracking how-to video! Do you think it would work just as well if you had the loop in the tippet and the ring tied hard to the leader? Then you could use your regular leader and ring and tie less knots switching back and forth from nymph to dry fly
This is super helpful. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks!
