Episode Details

In this episode, I prepare for an exciting fly fishing trip by respooling my reels with 70-pound hollow core line by Cortland.

 I'll show you how to make the connection between the fly line and the backing using an eye splice and compare its strength against a Bimini twist. 

We go through the step-by-step process to create an eye splice, then test its strength, reaching 53.7 pounds. Next, I demonstrate the Bimini twist, which maxes out at 39 pounds. Which method will you choose for your fly setup?
