Video is one of the best tools for fly fishing. You can find great tips and techniques from watching fly fishing videos. You can get these videos for free or for a small subscription fee, and you can even subscribe to the Double Badger Media fly fishing video channel to get updates and fascinating stories behind the footage. The fly fishing channel is briefly described below.
Fly fishing cobia
While a fly rod and line are the most common tackle used when fishing for cobia, the fishing lure is also an important consideration. You should use a baitfish-patterned fly. This fly sinks and should be cast at high speed. When a cobia swoops down and strikes the fly, the hook will likely be cut off. Next, you can practice sight-fishing to catch cobia.
The first step is to dump the whole fly line into your backing. After the line has sunk, you should quickly take it out and strip it off again. Using a sinking line can help you catch more cobia than you might otherwise. Weighted flies are also available. If sight casting is difficult, you can also use a sinking line and a weighted fly. Keep a fly rod on hand for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing to tarpon
Fly fishing is the best method to catch big tarpon. Tarpon are not like other saltwater species so it is important to know what to look out for when choosing a fly fishing pattern. The right size hook and material can make all the difference in your success. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver is one the most popular patterns for tarpon. The streamer is tied onto a 2/0 Hook, which will drive home the fly.
You need to understand their natural feeding habits when fishing for tarpon. Tarpon are most active in the morning, so fish only after the sun has set. This will give you the best opportunity to get a strike. If the sun is setting, you can fish at night for Tarpon. You should remember that tarpon are predatory and it is best to avoid artificial lights during the day.

How can I tell whether my lure is working properly?
Look out for movement as you cast your lure into water. If there is movement, your lure is operating properly.
How big should my tackle bag be?
A large tackle chest is required to keep all your fishing gear. The size of tackle boxes will vary depending on how many items are stored inside.
To fish, you will need a Bobber
Yes. A bobber keeps the bait safe from being taken by other fisherman when they are fishing. There are two parts of a bobber, the float or the line. When casting a lure, you attach the hook to the end of the line, then cast out the line and let go of the rod. The lure can sink in the water if the bobber isn't used.

How To
Why would you want to use a spinning rod instead?
Spinning Rods can be used to cast your lure directly into the water, without needing to leave the boat. If you don't want your casts to take too long, a spinning rod is a good choice. A spinning rod will allow you to cast from any position, while maintaining control over your line. There are three major components to the rod; handle, butt and reel section. The handle holds the rod and allows you to grip the shaft. The butt section is where you attach the rod's tip to the hook. Finally, the reel seat holds the reel onto which the line is attached. There are many types of rods today. Some are designed to be used only for certain types of fishing, such as casting or trolling. Others can be used to fly fish, spin fish, baitfish, and so on.
The type you catch will affect the type rod you choose. For example, if you intend to catch large predatory species like pike or bass, you'll need a heavy-duty fishing rod. For smaller species such as salmon or trout, a lighter rod might be better. You could even go so far as to buy several rod sizes depending on how big the fish you hope to catch is.
Spinning Rods can be used for more than just freshwater fishing. They are also used frequently for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinning is more heavy than its freshwater counterparts. It requires stronger materials that can withstand saltwater. In addition, saltwater spinners usually feature a larger diameter rod with a shorter length. This allows them to cast further distances. You should be aware that saltwater fishing can have its drawbacks. First, saltwater spinning rods do not come with reels like freshwater ones. Instead, one must be purchased separately. They are also quite costly. A spinning rod is worth considering if you enjoy catching bigger fish.
A method of fishing that involves using a spinning rod and a weighted lure to cast into the water is called spin fishing. The weighted center of the lure turns as the lure moves through water. This causes the lure's motion to be unpredictable in the water and makes it difficult for fishes to see. Fish may mistakenly consider the lure food and begin eating it. The lure will therefore attract more fish. The fisherman can then reel in the line attached to the lure. After the lure is retrieved, the fisherman can continue the process until he has caught the desired number.
