Try These Two Modifications for the Martin Fly Fishing Combo

-

Before you go fishing with the Martin Fly Fishing Combo, try these two modifications.

  • Mod 1. If you want to change reel’s left-hand retrieve to a right-hand retrieve.
  • Mod 2. Add a section of 30lbs mono to replace the knot used to connect the fly line to the leader with a loop to loop connection.

Works for similar single action fly reels that use a click-pawl drag aka clicker. Do check back for the next video if the Getting Started Fly Fishing – $33 Amazon Challenge… look for DIY Leader Recipe that show how we make our own fly fishing leaders instead of buying them!

Overall, have been pleasantly surprised at the convenience of Tenkara and its simplicity. Definitely makes it easier for quick trips to fish local ponds while out and about and/or on a whim!
