Tj is that the resilure rod? Looks pretty nice! Quite a deep bend to the blank. Looks like a fun rod to use!

[@Baitfinessefishing]

Haha thanks for the comment! Yes it is, it’s a very soft and limber rod, yet somehow still pretty sensitive!

@@Baitfinessefishing I hate to say it but… TWSS 😂. Looks like a really fun rod tho… also TWSS… 🤦‍♂️🤣

hi, how long can you cast with a fully tuned Ambassadeur 2500C on a ul carbon rod? im using 4-6lb nylon and 1.5-2g bait, and it usually landed between 8-12 meters which i think is too short. thanks

[@Baitfinessefishing]

Which spool do you have? What size line and how much line is on it?

[@andy7233]

2518 spool, 4lb or 6lb nylon, like 45 - 50 meter line@@Baitfinessefishing

[@Baitfinessefishing]

@@andy7233 try the lightest line you can use, and only put like 30-35 meters on it. I use about 35 yards of 4 lb fluoro. I can cast 2 grams probably 20 yards. But high end modern bfs reels can out cast a tuned Ambassadeur 2500. I only fish the Ambassadeur for fun, if I need to cast super far I will just use like an aldebaran bfs or something.

@@Baitfinessefishing thank you 🥲4lb nylon probably lighter than 4lb fluoro, just dont know why i can only cast like 8-10 yards, and i double checked the reel, cant find any problem with the tuning parts.

[@Baitfinessefishing]

@@andy7233 4lb fluoro is thinner than 4lb nylon. Not sure about actually weight. When I said a lighter line I meant a thinner line. Yeah you should be able to cast farther than that. But what I’ve noticed with bfs is the amount of line you have on ur spool really effects the castability when get to light weight baits (1.5-2 gram). That’s why I normally limit it to like 30 to 40 yards of 4lb fluoro. When I first started fishing bfs I was filling the spool up like you would a normal baitcast reel, pretty much completely full. After lots of trail and error I see the reel preforms best with very limited amount of line.
