Really cool little tip for cleaning up your fly fishing rig and swinging hooks for travel, via a car, boat or on foot from Dom over at Troutbitten.com.
I don’t miss hook keepers on fly rods, since pretty much all of my fishing is done with 9′ fly rods and 10′ plus leaders and I’m fussy about winding fly line back in through the rod tip.
This video shows my preferred method of rigging for travel I’m in the boat or hiking through brush. (The tip is hook your point fly as far forward as you can reach, so you can keep several feet of line out of the tip ready to cast). But it too has issues when you rig with a true dropper off your tippet. Free swinging flies catch everything.
