Fishing for Spring Bluegills with the new KastKing Zephyr SFS Spinning Reel on my Hobie Kayak! You can find these bluegills pretty much all over the shallows right now. Some of the best time to find them really BIG bluegills!

Shallow spool. Accurately rated lines. Hallelujah!

[@rawrfishing]

Most important for us finesse folks!

[@travisbruno5964]

Great video jimbo thanks brother i appreciate them.

[@rawrfishing]

Thx i appreciate it! 👍👍! More to come

[@timeintheoutdoors]

I have that reel and it’s GREAT! I loaded mine with 2# Trout SOS line with a St. Croix Panfish 6’ Ultra Light. Extremely great setup. Nice video as always!

[@rawrfishing]

That's sweet man! Yeah I wanted this or another shallow spool spinning reel for thin lines and UL lures!

[@mattnguyen1672]

Haha I just lost my zephyr SFS on my celio when a big striped bass just yanked it out of a boat. I was looking it up to buy it again to pair it with 13 fishing defy silver UL rod and saw this video on the google search.

[@rawrfishing]

Lol can Google stop spying on us?

[@chrischandran4439]

Looking forward to the BFS vs SFS video

[@rawrfishing]

Just need the damn rod lol

[@travisbruno5964]

Today is the day I caught my pb so im going out in a little bit to get her again this year.

[@rawrfishing]

Nice! What u catch?

[@scotthooten5967]

I need to get some of those baits by Mule. I love small swim baits but usually after one or two casts the bluegills bite the tail off. I have been looking for something small made of something similar to the elaztech that zman uses.

[@rawrfishing]

Boom! This is it! They got bigger ones too

[@ldsudduthhanover]

Donkey Tail Junior FTW!

[@rawrfishing]

Yes sir the jr!

[@fishnuggetsio1420]

Great video, panfish are pretty fun to catch. What's the benefit of a shallow spool?

[@rawrfishing]

Thx! Shallow spool ensures you don't waste line on spinning reels as it's not needed. A size 1k shallow spool reel is better than a size 500 as well as the circumference of the wraps are larger, which means less line twist memory and further distance.

[@MrRourk]

Very curious to see the size of the cork grips on the Zephyr Spinning Rod.

[@rawrfishing]

Yeah me too!

[@cmoney041074]

I told kastking it makes no sense to release a bfs reel in America only to to keep the rod in Asia. So there response was go to AliExpress and get the rod, sadly I don’t need there reel as I have a Calcutta conquest bfs and a revo Ltx bf8. I only wanted the rod to match my zephyr bfs reel.

[@rawrfishing]

Thx for this comment. I said the same thing! Just need more folks to agree, but that's why I am also asking about rod specs. Whether they bring over what they got and expand it or make a new one!

[@cmoney041074]

@@rawrfishing I need a shorter bfs rod than what I’m using currently as it’s a kuying teton 6’6” light action. Maybe a new one and a short handled one brought for the bfs rods.

[@Fishingguy00]

It’s decent for the price, I like it.

[@rawrfishing]

Gotta get it when it's on sale lol! Them coupons is key

[@Fishingguy00]

[@22lbsboost]

Did you ever try the zephyr ultra light spinning rod? How does it compare to this one

[@rawrfishing]

Definitely better as this rod wasn't really UL. Mislabeled as well as their kastpro braid. The braid is too thick as well. But their Zephyr SFS rods are okay. U can check my channel for that video as I used it earlier this season

[@zachgrube9861]

Where did you aquire the jig heads?

[@rawrfishing]

Tsurinoya store front on aliexpress. Was hoping BFE will carry it soon as they made an order. Just taking time going over seaa

[@Bearclaw_Co.]

Looking to get some of that Kastking Kastpro finesse x8 for my bfs setup and a light spinning set up. Is it a stiffer or limper braid? And does the dye tend to bleed? If the dye runs I'll just get the white, but if it doesn't I'm getting that killer chartreuse color! I've bought lots of braids that are super stiff from the waxier coatings and want to make sure that this isn't that type of braid. Thanks!

[@rawrfishing]

The line is pretty supple. No wax. Colors come off like any other braid. Still see chartreuse but It gotten lighter after 4 trips. Going to use it one more trip before I do a review! But that is on x13. The x8 so far is only spooled onto the spinning reel... and I don't think I will use that enough to do a review just yet:p

[@Bearclaw_Co.]

@@rawrfishing thanks! I think I’ll save up more later on for the x13 if I like the x8. For now I’ll get 300yds of the x8 so I can spool up both set ups and I’ll try it out! Keep slaying brotha!

[@rawrfishing]

@@Bearclaw_Co. It feels like the 13 is smoother, but it's thicker overall. Regardless, both are smooth and supple! Hope you will enjoy it as much as I do. And perhaps there will be a sale as they do that sometimes on Amazon. June 20 and 21 I think is prime day? Not sure if they will participate. Keep an eye out ;)

[@Bearclaw_Co.]

@@rawrfishing I definitely will!

[@fishermankev]

Could you do a comparison with Kast king finesse braid and Phoenix iron feather braid

[@rawrfishing]

Not at this time. I have so much line and a few lines already lined up (pun intended). I already removed all the KK finesse X13 and X8 stuff off my reels if it means anything

[@fishermankev]

@@rawrfishing I just want to see if the iron feather is worth it cause the braid is made for trout fishing

[@rawrfishing]

@@fishermankev so are many of the Varivas ones, especially the ones that are thin yet heavy so it sinks and cast low trajectory.

[@rawrfishing]

@@fishermankev oh there is also a sale this weekend. Stackable discounts too. Fathersday and RAWRFISHING

[@travisbruno5964]

Where do you get those chebrashka heads

[@rawrfishing]

Tsurinoya Aliexpress! Hoping BFE will get em soon.

[@Ribak_na_Tanke]

Cheburashka sounded almost without an accent, just surprised

[@rawrfishing]

Did I say it right? Lol

[@Ribak_na_Tanke]

@@rawrfishing yes

[@TheFishingNomad]

8:18 No. Unfortunately I don't know how that goes lol.

[@rawrfishing]

Really? Most fish doesn't eat when nesting or nest guarding. Very stressful and will need recovery time. That's post spawn

[@pacman_17]

Ai Ya - KastKing sells the Zephyr BFS reel on amazon but doesn't sell a BFS rod to use it with. Huge tactical mistake. Yet they have new releases like a camp cot, camp stove, knives, new braid, lube, money clip. Do better KastKing!

[@rawrfishing]

Feel free to send your complaints to them! I think if everyone does it... something will change! I can't do it alone! Every thing I have done is with yall, the awesome fishing community!
