Burt newbie

Post by Jacklong564 »

Hi all, I’ve recently just bought my first Squirrelly Burt and I was wondering if anyone had some tips for fishing them. In addition to this I was wondering what kind of action it gives off in the water.

Hi Jack. There’s loads of Burt tips on the Riverpiker YouTube films, watch ‘one epic say’ & see how many he catches on the same Burt.

Or you could just buy a salmo slider for 1/3 of the price and it'll work straight out of the box. You can just cast and retrieve, troll it or pause and jerk it.

You could, but it won't do what a Burt will.

In the end, it’s not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away.
