Fishing Tidal Creek with KastKing Zephyr SFS (not BFS)

Fishing Tidal Creek with KastKing Zephyr SFS (not BFS). I was throwing the Eurotackle EPF 1 inch Swim on a 1/32 oz jig and a Trout Magnet on a 1/64 oz jig! Did some nice slaying as I caught 5 different species, yay!

Always learn something new. Have you come across any other sfs type reels? I find a lot of super low drag, small spool options but I don't know if they are in that category

[@rawrfishing]

@@raiderswish the new Daiwa gekkabijin X spinning reel is looking good!

[@deandregibson542]

I take my zephyr sfs with me on all my trips, use it with a BnM TCB rod with varivas 2lb ajing master for crappie and other panfish. It’s a great reel!!

[@rawrfishing]

That's some nice thin line! Glad you are enjoying the reel!

[@22lbsboost]

The blue moon fluoro? How is the memory?

[@markuskuebler9294]

Nice Jimmy I always thought you are a baitcast guy only, nice to see you doing some spinning stuff too ! 👍👍😉

[@rawrfishing]

I am always going to choose BC over spinning. But as I learn more about BFS, I also did some research on shallow spool spinning setups. I can't write off a fishing style unless I truly spent time testing something. So with that said, I don't mind spending a bit on affordable setups to see if it's worth my time for even more expensive ones in the future.

[@72twist]

Where did you get the rod? I cand find it anywhere

[@rawrfishing]

Probably out of production. But you can check kastking website

[@blicky308]

I'm planning on getting the Zephyr SFS for my 5 year old son so we can both be cool since I got the BFS version lol

[@rawrfishing]

Nice. Got it for the same reason and for guests lol

[@yep.fishing]

Hey, since watching your other video on this I stumbled across some Japanese trout stream channels and they are doing these.little accurate BFS casts with spinning gear. Very cool.

[@rawrfishing]

It's certainly possible, but still not efficient as a bait casting reel not as light. But if people enjoy using it for their fishing, then it's all good! We are out there to enjoy right?

[@yep.fishing]

@@rawrfishing yep it's all about fun, that's why I prefer ultralight. More bites!

[@151rummer4]

Great video......actually ordered the zephyr spinning rod yesterday from BFE. Going to pair it with my zephyr 500 reel. cant wait!

[@rawrfishing]

Sweet man! Let us know how you like it.

Good morning from the United States!

[@benskai2475akurfishing]

@@rawrfishing thank you senior the video is very good

[@albertoknot8886]

I definitely love how you fish Little Creek as well as big bodies of water

[@rawrfishing]

I used to fish bigger bodies of water. As I gotten older.... Less energy and more responsibilities.. So I can't go as much anymore as they are further away from home. So I focus on various type of waters closer to home ;) tidal swamp video next!

[@pacman_17]

Another entertaining fishing adventure. 👍

[@rawrfishing]

Thx! I think you'll like the next one too :)

[@pacman_17]

@@rawrfishing I stumbled upon "Andrew's Knots 4K" channel. He reviews a lot of BFS tackle mostly from aliexpress.

[@rawrfishing]

i am familiar with this channel. it's how i got the idea of loop knot jika rig. saved me when i was in hawaii :P

[@xyoojj]

Zephyr rod or dobyns?

[@rawrfishing]

If it's spinning... Dobyns have more options and variety I believe and quality is better. But the price is higher

[@theangleraquarist]

Have you tried the eurotackle M-F braid yet?

[@rawrfishing]

Not yet. Been busy, but I have it here at the man cave :p

[@theangleraquarist]

@@rawrfishing cool. I’m thinking of getting the 4lb for 1/32 and below baits for the ultralight

[@rawrfishing]

@@theangleraquarist it looks thin so give it a go!

[@fishingbr]

KastKing Kestrel or KastKing carbon x ?

[@rawrfishing]

Neither because Kestrel BFS is over priced and over braked and I can't recommend the carbon X as I have no experience nor knowledge. If you want a bfs reel with better quality and performance, Tsurinoya Dark Wolf Ultra would be perfect.

[@fishingbr]

@@rawrfishing I would like a windlass and not a reel

[@uctien2432]

Can it be used for saltwater fishing?

[@rawrfishing]

U may have to check their website. I am not sure as I don't fish salt water

[@22lbsboost]

Why can't they make an ultralight fast action

[@rawrfishing]

But they are all fast tip

[@22lbsboost]

@@rawrfishing their website labels them all as Moderate fast

[@22lbsboost]

@@rawrfishing gonna give it a try though...what length is used in this vid?

[@rawrfishing]

4ft 6 in version here and it says fast on the rod. Are u looking at the old ones or the new green Christmas color one?

[@StalkNCastAnglers.]

Have you ever tried, Phenix Ironfeather Fiber Elite Braided Fishing line Spectra 3lb 175yd Pink?

[@rawrfishing]

have not! but I am interested! how is it and do you recommend it for BFS/Spinning setup?

[@StalkNCastAnglers.]

I have my set-up a Phenix mirage 1/32 - 1/8oz and a okuma stratus 10 spinning reel. And i cast 1/64 to 1/16oz and it's the best fun I've ever had fishing. Check ur messages on Instagram. I'll show you.

[@TeppanGod]

The 3lb has been shit for me, i always have random breaks in it. Not sure if i just kept getting defective ones. My current setup now on all my ul combos are elixir+vanford (5lb phenix braid) mirage+23 vanquish (varivas infinity) iron feather+stella fk (varivas infinity). Ive been loving the infinity line at 5lbs.

[@davidsagastume3700]

That braid is pretty noisy. Give Phenix trout line a chance it’s super smooth.

[@rawrfishing]

Thx for the suggestion. Does non noisy line mean better performance in anyway?

[@davidsagastume3700]

@@rawrfishing no, just personal preference. Love the content bro 🔥

[@rawrfishing]

@@davidsagastume3700 gotcha. I always had a hunch that loud casting line may interfere with casting as sound is created by vibration/friction etc. would be cool if someone in this area of expertise can tell us. But any how, thanks for the love mate :)

[@22lbsboost]

@@rawrfishing it does...that means the line has friction against the guides and won't cast as far...plus in very finesse situations it can spook fish

[@wadec6799]

Got a Spartacus 2 reel I love and lookin at kastking reel to put on my new st croix avid panfish 7ft light rod which would ya recommend? Usually use 4lb fireline not sure if I should grab the zephyr 1000 carbon it's Grey and gold or the bfs orange black reel?

[@rawrfishing]

Don't think that is how it works. If your rod is spinning, u gotta stick with spinning reels. Vice versa... If it is a casting rod, u can then put a bfs or a finesse casting reel on

[@wadec6799]

@@rawrfishing no doubt about it only thing I use is spinning

[@wadec6799]

@@rawrfishing now I know where confusion is there is an upgraded zephyr sfs reel if ya go on amazon one in your video here was released in 2021 it has 94 reviews the upgraded version was release June 7 2022 amd has 16 reviews its the upgraded one that guy says has messed up reverse

[@wadec6799]

@@rawrfishing do you see the new upgraded version of this reel or no? It's a spinning reel same as ya got here in video bit upgraded version only difference I can tell is the old spool is like .57 inches in length and new one is .49 so Lil shorter

[@rawrfishing]

I saw there was a newer SFS ZEphyr, but wasn't sure what was the difference at first. but thanks for sharing the details! I guess perhaps his have a messed up reverse. im sure the other 15 reviews doesn't have any issues.
