I keep an old digital scale in my tackle box for those emergencies. Funny thing is, I've weighed more lures on it than the weed I originally bought it for.

[@rawrfishing]

LOL...

[@609Fishing]

You make it look so easy! if I casted a trout magnet with that setup, the reel would have exploded 😂 😂 😂 great video as always 👍

[@rawrfishing]

i mean it exploded several times :P

[@RonMTube]

Very impressive Jimmy. Being able to cast Trout Magnets (1 g) was my BFS goal, and some do it with success on small streams, but as long as a rod reel combo can handle 1.5 or 2 g I'm happy, and your setup achieves that goal.

[@rawrfishing]

This is sure an impressive reel and spool. If you want to achieve more distance, less and thinner line would probably get a few more yards! I don't think i would normally cast 1 grams either but that ice fishing jig at 1/16 oz got crazy distance compared to my other setups. I often throw 1/16 oz jigs with marabou feathers. So this is a win!

[@gizmocarr3093]

New discoveries come with testing both line and rods with every reel. The possible reason the heavier lures lost casting distance from previous tests is the lure weight was too heavy for the rod action. The rod was unable to cast the lure because it has too light of action. A more powerful action fitted for the lure weight will improve distance and accuracy.

[@rawrfishing]

Oh yes sir! Haven't even scratched the surface with this reel yet! Plenty of rods to pair this baddy up with!

[@chuelee7201]

I use braid on my daiwa alphas setup using 6lb sufix nanobraid with a 4lb flouro leader with fg knot. I may go 1 step further and make a dedicated trout setup with my 2019 alphas ct setup. You can get more distance with that trout magnet if you spooled a bit less line and used those japanese 3 lb sunline small game braid but those lines are super expensive.

[@rawrfishing]

that is probably going to be my final test whenever my line counter comes in. ANY DAY NOW lol... for now i'll just deal with this. line spooled up for trout fishing. dunno how many snags i'll get from them streams!

[@adhytyaps7027]

I bet there's spool of line rolling all over the place like last time.🤣

[@rawrfishing]

U don't have to! Cuz it definitely happened lol

[@mojondro]

That's cool bro,now imagine fishing a bfs Thai jump frog,im making them in 3 grams and they look so awesome making the little jumps you have to see it

[@rawrfishing]

I would love to throw one lol

[@leonardbrown1512]

If you know your gear then do what you like. I actually thought braid was the one that damages light spools because it has no stretch. I don't use braid because tying a leader onto thin braid is difficult and most of my rods have micro guides and the knot barely passes through the tip.

[@rawrfishing]

I feel that both can damage the reel if they both have high drag. But I believe people use the example of where they put those rubber bands onto a watermelon and the more you put on it, eventually the watermelon would explode. I think because mono stretches during usage, when you reel it back in tightly, it will eventually shrink while at rest, causing it to squeeze the spool. i feel the same way about these tiny guides, but I have success with the tony pena knot and the FG knot. Or you just put 1 ft leader. in some waters, you don't even need leader. straight braided line will still catch! in the end of the day tho, i prefer Copolymer as it's a bit less stretchy than mono

[@leonardbrown1512]

@@rawrfishing I have 6lb mono on my Shimano Scorpion BFS and 8lb Fluorocarbon on my Daiwa Fuego CT converted to bfs. Why do I have such heavy line is I fish rocky creeks for Aussie Bass and Saltwater species like bream and whiting even small flathead. I challenge my gear to the max.

[@rawrfishing]

I would throw heavy lines too on BFS gears. I have no problems spooling on 6 lb mono/copolymer for most of my applications. 4lb is really for the distance with smaller lures. I often throw heavy enough lures that 6lb would work perfectly.

[@fantasticleese]

Good job Jimbo, I was also curious about the mono vs fluoro vs braid on the bfs spools. I've used all with no noticable issues, but I could imagine an issue if you you hook a big hard fighting bass with the drag too high while using mono. Keep up the great videos

[@rawrfishing]

I prefer copolymer lately and that have less stretch than mono :)

[@429fishing_on_yt]

Nice vid! I was excited when I saw you were there. That's a good pond for 🐷 bluegill and the rare pumpkinseed. Also a good amount of small bass. I usually use live worms but I'm sure a small jig will work good as well. also the smallest gulp! alive minnows.

[@rawrfishing]

definitely a great place for them! I love UL tackle, so small fishes in that pond are fun.

[@rawrfishing]

Btw, Were you the guy that I ran into Friday?

[@429fishing_on_yt]

@@rawrfishing Yeah, I usually use my UL spinning combo with 4 lb line but the baitcaster looks cool too.

[@429fishing_on_yt]

@@rawrfishing I wasn't there on Friday but I do go there sometimes. I can suggest some spots in South Jersey if you want

[@rawrfishing]

UL casting is fun! I think i am good on spots. I normally kayak fish unless I cast test... then I default to this pond ;)

[@christopherrichardson1892]

"Spool half way filled"; it's better to fill the spool up vs "halfway" because physics says Centrifugal force can be increased by increasing either the speed of rotation [spool tension & brakes] or the mass of the body or by decreasing the radius [fishing line/spool diameter], which is the distance of the body from the centre of the curve. In layman's terms the more centrifugal force generated because of a decrease in the radius [spool line filled] the further lighter lures can go because these factors help them generate more force. BSF reels are already designed with these principles; large/ wide in circumference shallow spools that are heavily ported. It's all about less friction, less rotational mass and force [loading the rod] and all these things being balanced. I'm not a Pro but I like science and all the sponsored Pro's have science behind them.✌🏾 I love your channel, I'm just getting into BSF from the Ultralight scene.🤝🏾

[@rawrfishing]

Thanks for the physics schooling! I love science but never gotten deep into physics from my studies. That's interesting, I would love to play with more casting if I got more line laying around lol. Its interesting tho how many others suggests to reduce total spool weight. I guess there is a sweet spot somewhere in tween too heavy vs too light. Gotta find that balance based on spool diameter and brakes installed onto one reel? Hope you get your self some nice reels to play with and perhaps can help me understand some more so I can maximize my experience! 🙇‍♂️

[@ziggylamsen5686]

done this same setup, never again unless weights were used..

[@rawrfishing]

There's better setup than this. And it will perform a lot better

[@davidcannon5104]

I think my okuma ultralight rod and reel cast my trout magnet maybe 15 ft max and that’s with the wind.😂😂 Seriously jimmy, how many rod and reels do you have? Must be 100s!!! Anyway can’t wait to watch you catch some trout!

[@rawrfishing]

15 ft via a spinning setup or baitcasting? Lol!! yeah that wind was killer. I ran out of rack space... and corners...and book shelving spots for reel boxes... >_< i think i have more rods than reels tho.

[@ocdfishingaus268]

And just a quick question. Did the roro spool come with that bearing? Or do you need to purchase it separately?

[@rawrfishing]

it came with the Micro Stainless Steel Bearings. There is a Micro Ceramic Hybrid Bearing from Roro as well, but you would have to buy them separately. Might as well when you buy the one for the side plate.

[@sgtpavlov]

Nice

[@rawrfishing]

Thanks man! fun spool!

[@artaddictt8624]

@@rawrfishing I tried it 🙂

[@rawrfishing]

Nice! I guess I should compare stock vs the spool. Be interested in how it casts

[@mikeustan494]

Not to be that guy.... But why are these finesse bait casters so popular when they are super finicky.

[@rawrfishing]

I mean... this reel isn't finicky... but if it is.. it's usually the angler's skill level on casting. but it's popular because they are accurate, efficient, lighter and more balanced than a spinning setup. also the fun factor and the cool factor. Give it a shot

[@mikeustan494]

Interesting. I've been throwing alot of .9 gram spoons do you think this will be able to?

[@rawrfishing]

@@mikeustan494 definitely! By dropping to smaller diameter line and adding less. It can accomplish throwing lighter lures

[@AlucardFeeds]

Hey mate, how are you getting these in the states? I can't find any of these sub $100 on US Amazon, and UK Amazon.

[@rawrfishing]

Hey Dude! What exactly are you looking for? I imported the Reel from Japan, shipped 317 dollars. You won't find it under 100! The rod was also imported, but from China. You can find that on Aliexpress. That is under 100.

[@AlucardFeeds]

@@rawrfishing I am not sure what I am looking for. $317 seems out of my current budget. I picked up fishing hoping it was going to be cheaper than shooting during covid but its adding up. Could you recommend a bfs for me. I currently have a 9wt 9ft fly rod, a 13 ft tenkara rod, and a collapsible medium fast 7'3" baitcaster. I used to live in FL where my fly rod was great, but I live in near Jill's and the tributaries have close tree cover and I can't figure out how to cast with it. So I bought the baitcaster thinking it would be fun. I nest a TON. so I thought simple would be best a rod and line, I just got it so I am not the best yet

[@rawrfishing]

sounds like a lot of moving parts here. I think you first need to determine what exactly you want to throw. that dictates the setup you need to get. Like fly fishing, you wouldn't use a 4 wt rod/line for a _lure_ fly that is made for 9 wt. Baitcasting reels are not that bad once you figure out how to configure it. you should try first playing with your setup and use lures that the rod recommends. Likely your reel isn't BFS, so don't try anything light. I have a video that explains how to configure your reel to cast maximum distance. here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZOVoHhrh6-fi6s. A lot of homework before you go spend money on BFS gears.

[@AlucardFeeds]

@@rawrfishing thanks mate. I totally forgot about the weights of my flies! I have been so accustom to throwing large flies at the beach and open flats. Well, that is unfortunate, I have gear not suited to my area.

Man in my opinion if you are an experienced angler do what you want to do.. specs and what the manufacturer recommends dont matter if you know how to handle your gear. I think most of the specs and warnings manufactures give are for newbies that dont know that much that way the dont f$%& up there stuff!! Do what you do jimbo you're very experienced in bfs and you know your capabilities!!

[@rawrfishing]

thx man! i think i'll be fine using Copolymer lines as it's less stretchy than mono. I am pretty careful so far with my reels and lines, other than letting it run into trees as i paddle under them or when i drop my reel onto the kayak when handling fish lol...

[@tmzzlo]

When you do the test it would be more informative if you measure distance with measuring tape or at least count how many rounds with handle, and to make it even more informative comparison with original spool other reels would be even beter.At the moment all we see is you making cast somewhere in a lake and hear you saying ' oh fantastic, oh amazing,oh..' :D . More facts please more accurate information thats what we want :D

[@rawrfishing]

I feel that casting distance, although is something important to most anglers, but I don't think it isn't the most important thing when it comes to fishing. Smooth casting, accuracy and less fatigue over distances for me! I don't think i would normally throw a trout magnet to begin with on BFS gears. Just doing it as everyone is so fascinated with it. Perhaps my opinion will change once I upgrade the bearings and have the right rod to do the job for maximum distance. BTW, your suggestion have been considered and a line counter tool have been ordered twice.. first one never came and 2nd one is in route. In the mean time, listen to what I say in the video. You get more than just OH, AMAZING, SUGOI DESU NEE, WOW, HOLY SMOKES... I actually tell people the casting distance via estimated percentage from where I stand to the water fountain, Which I have also mentioned the distance between where I stand and the water fountain! :P
