Pre-tied musky setups?

[skyriver]

Ok musky guys. Do you carry your flies pre-tied to the bite leader?

I do and have had some challenges trying to find storage solution I like. The closest thing out there that might work is dropper rig boxes. Orvis makes one, but that's for wrapping 3 or 4x, not 100 lb fluoro.

Well, I may have a winner. Time on the boat will tell.

Anyone up for some musky BBQ tools?





I should probably refine and market the damn thing. I hear musky guys will buy anything.

I’ve been using these:

Now I’m O-fer about 8 on the fishing but the clips are fast change

That's brilliant!

Yes, but since my bite tippets are only about 8-10 inches, same length as the fly, they fit right in the box. The teeth are only a couple of inches away from the fly, so I don't think you need those long `bite tippets.

Yep, but like Phil said, ~10"

I tried the fastach clips, and love how quick it is to change flies but every now and then they get caught in a position where they impede the desired fly action, so I went back to pre-rigging.

Oh, for rigging, I just wind them up in a little circle. When I use them, unwind, stretch, attach, fish.

I like the longer bite tippet. Not sure exactly why, but in my experience it seems to help with the action. 8-10" is probably better for figure 8s.

Like this.....then right into a repurposed Plano pistol case...

If things keep changing offshore like they have been, you guys will be ready when PNW billfish becomes a thing.

You don’t even need to coil it up. Or maybe that would help my luck

I keep them in a large Tupperware that I glued foam into. I keep my knot too kinky on the flies and it is looped. I can change a fly like a pit crew a tire.
