I saw the icast where you spoke with a few dudes from extreme Anglers or something like that talking about the the BFS rods and reels that we're coming out for 2023. So I started following you and this is the first video I watched and I really really like it but do you have a suggestion as the dwu is out of left-handed reels? Because I'm new to baitcasting and everything I would prefer to stay around that $80 range of possible you have any other suggestions?

Spool it with about 125 feet of thin braid and use 4-6 lb mono and you will have a lot of fun throwing small plastics on a 1/16th jig. Let me know if you have any other questions! :)

Hey man thanks for the info. I’m just starting to get into bait finesse down here in Texas. Curious which reel you’d prefer out of the box. KK Zephyr or DWU?

@rawrfishing

Жыл бұрын

Np my man! The DWU would work best on an UL or L casting rod while the Zephyr would work best on an L or ML. That should help you decide which reel to get first! The UL side is a bit tougher for new folks as there's a lot more to learn such as bearings, line diameter and amount to spool on. But regardless which route to go, u first need to figure out the lure total weight range you want, select a rod, then the reel and line that will work best with the selected lures! Let me know if u have any more questions

@@rawrfishing Thanks! Well I’m a little ahead of the game. I bought a Zephyr and paired it with a 7ft ML shimano rod and plan to throw finesse tubes, whopper plopper 60, 1/4oz blades, and some smaller cranks. I have only used it twice so far. I want to get another setup and was trying to decide on the Zephyr or DWU. I love throwing underspins that are 3g or so fully rigged but I just don’t like casting spinning setups so I rarely do it.

@rawrfishing

I would say get the rod first! Then try the Zephyr on the light rod. 3 grams is doable with the Zephyr just fine and because it have a larger diameter spool, it will cast further.

All bfs reels should handle 7 g. The question is what line rod would best suit your fishing style and location. Likely a L rather than an UL would do. There are plenty of non bfs shallow spool casting reels that can possibly be a better choice if 7 gram is the lowest you are throwing. I am using the Daiwa alphas sv tw 800s for 5 grams and up.
