Almost lost my paddle the same way. That strap on mine at least was hard to use because it was so tight so I just didn’t bother. Paddler dropped right into the lake but luckily I noticed it.

i like your video and your animations keep it up bro!

I never knew River2Sea made the whopper plopped. You heard them mentioned we in American. Videos all the time but never seen one here.

Oldtown makes the best kayaks. I have autopilot

Nice setup, Earl! Looking forward to more videos from the boat!

You don’t use it much due to the price point? Dude, I buy the good stuff to use! 😂

Really nice

I do the same with conventional baitcaster but for bfs i do the same but when it hits ground i tighten up the cast control a hair then use the magnetic brakes, lower for calm days higher for windy conditions

I want to try one of the bluegill glide baits or swim baits . I’ve never used them but would love to try

So I'm at heart a ultralight angler and primarily stomp creeks. I'm fairly new to bait casters in general. However best ways to learn is jump in both feet. I also like how bait casters are less movement during cast arm/wrist, thumb bar, cast , retrieve. All can be done one handed. I only have 2 catches on my BFS setup just started on this journey this year 2024. My all time favorite baits are swim baits, micro cranks, micro jigs and I'll clean up on Smallies all day. I haven't thrown anything under 1/16 oz. Still stick to my spinning setup for those.

My dude, a good finesse jig will do you wonders. And jigs aren't as boring to throw as folks make them seem. I throw jigs places folks throw hard baits and get just as many bites, usually more. And since I still stink as an angler probably. Caught 3 citations smalljaws this past season. I tie a lot of my own jigs (95% are finesse jigs) . Hybrids ( hair ,synthetics & silicone/rubber skirting) , hair ,traditional ,spider/loose ball, and some hybrid fly style baits . Mostly fish rivers for bronzebacks , but Largies,pickerel,fall fish, big shad,panfish flathead &channel cats all have no problems with the good ole jig... even some of my more experimental mod jigs

Nice to come across your channel. For me, my top bfs baits #1era mini glide, #2raptor mini glide, #3-5inch Berkley nessie #4glilling twister #5era mini swim. I literally have spent hundreds customizing raptor glides. I saw the website last week and brought 20 blanks for $45. I sent the Jmax kid a pic of my custom colors and he stole 4 of the patterns without giving credit

What hook size is the era bait? Looking for an upgrade treble hook for it.

Always interesting to see what baits people from different countries use. They differ a lot, but there is always inspiration to be found!👍😀

Have you tried tiemco pdl finese jig evo. It's a good jig with a small ewg hook has multiple weights . I think you would like it.

If you had to choose between the maxed raptor or the era baits tiny glide which would you choose?

My go to's were the 2.5 yamatanuki. 3in senko, strikeking micro spinnerbait , zman mini flashback and the zarra puppy.

Belgium, always did ul , try it for fun now i like under 4gr budget bfs

hi man i wonder bettwen conquest bfs 23 and milionaire 19 wich reel is better... smooth, cast feel, hold feel... i hope u reply me😊

Thank you , good info

Karashi, that's all that needs to be typed.

Was that a website?

Thanks, I enjoy these ones because you use lures that people typically wouldn't use in Australia.

Hey bro do u use steel leader for the pickerel?

show us your perfected zenon

"i have a feeling iol need the net"....casts...lunker. i guess the guy that cut the tree down did you a solid

What makes a good skippung and pitching reel? Im guessing its wll about how the brake profile is set up.

I love the T wing concept. Should I bite the bulley and het onr, soo what im missing out on with my CDM gear?

What you this is real gram test for this model? I have 1610BFS L one piece, and think it’s slightly heavier vs what Shimano rates, I would say 5-12, but not 3.5-10.

Thanks man, used this to do a deep clean on my SLX for the first time. Glad I decided to do it myself....not as intimidating as the diagram makes it seem.

Combo looks 🔥

Great Video.. new subscriber ! I'm late to the party ! But I have the Alphas SV TW 800-S on a Fenwick Elite Bass 6' 10" m/l rod, I'm running 8# P-Line "original" co-polymer, put in some hybrid ceramic bearings & a clicking drag ! I use it for finesse jigs, Ned rigs, 3"-4" soft paddle tail swimbaits. 3"-4" wacky Senko's , etc.. Great combo !! It's a bit more stout than BFS. I have BFS gear as well ! I also run a Salamandura SV TW 70 on a Fenwick 6' 10" m/l Techna PX rod, another Great Combo !! keep up the great work !!

where you get the deeper spool bro?

Great video as always Earl!

that little bottoms up looks like a great little setup to catchem on

Man that knot you almost didnt catch anything worth showing. Glad you havent became a cdm "budget" guy by the way either.

Not in new York state.

Try the exact same thing with a 8inch pink bubble gum trick worm.

What rod is that

For some reason I'm only getting notified of your shorts. None of your actual videos are showing up for some reason. I just thought you should know. As far as this reel goes, it's only $20 or so cheaper than the SS Air which I already have, so I'm out on this one.

Nevermind, saw your other videos- looks like a big smallie! Pound for pound, nothing fights better!

What did you have on? Big catfish? Whatever it was, it looked like it was going to be a beast!

Good day What is your favorite BFS reel to date? Top 1 ultralight 1-9 grams lures. Thank you))

Ryuki spearhead is my favorite trout lure

What rod?
