i'm considering going lefthanded baitcaster. it seems more logical, using two hands is not optional, but with right hand you cast with one hand then pass the rod to the other to free of the right hand again for reeling, which is a step you skip with a left hand caster., cast right, reel left. the clicker in a reel (well actually ther is normally two, one for when you turn the knob and one for when it feeds out line (both tend to just be little metal tabs that makes a noise with no actual contribution to the function.

Also, can I justify investing in yet another rod and reel? I await your next BFS adventure. Thanks for this one.
@FishAnything4 жыл бұрын
I will be doing lots of BFS adventures in the future so stay tuned! It handled pretty well and there was a bit of wind this day. I think that it is really advantageous for fishing around cover and whatnot just because you increase accuracy. Open water bass such as this trip probably not necessary. But definitely fun!

@0:40 you can slow a spin casting set up down just take a bit of practice, about as much as learning to bait cast. Also the jury is still out on the whole cast right, reel left on bait casting rigs; personally I run either or depending on if I’m jigging/fineness fishing or cranking hard plastics, spinners, etc.

I might get this Shimano Alderbaran in the future. I bought that Tsurinoya XF50 reel and matched it to a KastKing 6' UL rod. I like the combo but @raWr Fishing did a video with this combo and had some reliability issues with the reel (slippage). I have one left hand retrieve reel (frog rod) and it's definitely odd for me. I can do it but its weird. Spinning reels on the other hand, I like a left hand retrieve. You caught some nice bass out there with the BFS and it paired well the Ned rig. I'll have to try this. Ugh, so much to do....can we put more time in the day?

1) I love how much you just binge watched my videos. KZbin algorithm might finally reward my channel thanks to you hahaha 2) I have heard good things about that reel for the price but to your point, who knows if it will last. The Aldebaran 12 BFS XG is definitely a solid pickup and it isn't quite as pricey as some of the higher end Aldebarans. I would recommend it for sure. 3) if you ever figure out a way to put more time in the day, I will pay you a lot for that haha

Yeah I definitely think that this won’t replace my spinning setups by any means. That said, it’s super fun to fish with and very precise.
