now thats pretty neat. never saw or heard of that before. thanks for sharing.
your right about metal coat hangers being rare. my cousin locked her keys in a car and i had a heck of a time finding one. |
If metal coat hangers are getting rare use a bottom bouncer,,,
|
very interesting idea, have to try it sometime.
|
i have used the same type of set up but with a nail on the bottom in place of the coat hanger, works real good
|
why would this method work better than just sinkers on a drop line?

Ive tried everything that can be found in the cab of my pickup for weight at one time or another.. everything from .450 brass to nuts and bolts. While other things do work smaller heavier objects snag up 10x as much, produce less bites and there is something about the way a coat hanger floats and bounces off the bottom that makes the fly dance in the way fish seem to like. Never found a duck or fish that can chow down a lost piece of coat hanger. And yes they are cheap.
Im not asking anyone to toss away splitshot or bottom bouncers, next time your out bring a piece of coat hanger and try it against what you already use. I would be interested in some of the feedback. Also if u cut the hook( piece i was using in video) off and cut the bottom u end up with 2 long U shaped chunks that work the best. The hook will will work in a pinch but the U shaped pieces are choice. |

sweet vid billy
thanks for posting that |
This is also the method I use to catch white fish, work really well.
The one and only fly I use is a royal coach man, always works for me |
i have been using this method for years on the bow and i find the coat hangers depending on how big you cut and set it up with is just enough weight for cast out and sink to the bottom and depending on how much current you are dealing with. i also put a rubber band around the coat hangers first then tie the line to the rubber band or snap swieval (spelling).

Very cool! I am not sure if you said in the video or not but how far from the fly to the coat hanger?

If you cant feel your coat hanger bouncing on the bottom use more... If your constantly having to flick your rod tip to keep it moving you have too much. If your using 12lb line like i was just toss a big piece on and hope for the best! |
People use the rubber band so if they get snagged the band brakes leaving you with the fly.
At least that's why people i know do it. |
That's really cool! :)
