[@NetfishnChill]

Thanks man . Hopefully the fish want to bite when your here 🤣 just lost a big fish what felt like a perch 1st cast tonight and had another zander in a short session

@@NetfishnChill looking forward to seing a zander mate as we don’t have them in Ireland 😁😁😁

Thanks allot man I really appreciate it 🙏

[@fastgarnix848]

Yesterday I ordered the same rod and can't expect it! What landing net are you using in this video? Keep on doing the great work!

[@NetfishnChill]

That's awesome man I'm sure you'll love it. Would love too here what you think of it . And te net pole is a daiwa telescopic 5.3m and the net is spro freestyle flip net. And thank you I really appreciate it 🙏

The kvd sexy dawg is fire for pike i use it

[@NetfishnChill]

Nice man . Do you find it only works on still water? Any movement on the water it seems to go sub surface for me

[@justingottmers]

@@NetfishnChill same on the moving water you have to fish it Whit the current

[@paulbfsfishing]

Hi mate! Isn’t this rod too Fast for crank/minnow fishing? Is the tip slow enough for hard baits? Thank you in advance!

[@NetfishnChill]

Hi I've been doing allot of topwater with it the past few nights with no issues atal using a 4cm 4g popper and I've also had no bother with hook ups and losing fish with cranks and twitchbaits . But i wouldn't call it slow ,it recovers nice and fast for twitchbait which i like and i jig allot also so its perfect...its not as stiff as the zodias thats for sure and bends much further down the blank ...I'm loving it , very versatile in my opinion but I'm no expert. I'll have a couple more videos with it soon one of them I had a 42cm perch on the topwater and a bunch of small ones another session

[@paulbfsfishing]

@@NetfishnChill lovely man! Thanks for these precious informations. I’m ordering it right now! 😁🍻

[@NetfishnChill]

@@paulbfsfishing awesome man 👌 I'm sure you'll love it 🎣

[@cleavedspot]

How heavy of a lure have you thrown on this rod? It feels like it would handle 1/2oz pretty easily.

[@NetfishnChill]

I wouldn't throw more than 12g or its gonna be overloaded

[@1965JB]

How’d you get this rod? I ordered one in April and nobody seems to know when these rods are going to get to the States.

[@NetfishnChill]

Luckily in Netherlands only 1 shop I know of is able to get some. Hope you can get one soon such awesome rods

[@1965JB]

@@NetfishnChill Lucky you! I’ve always envied people from the Netherlands and now I have another reason for it.

[@andrewperry2569]

How does it compare to the zodias. I am thinking to get either this or zodias

[@NetfishnChill]

Much better than the zodias. The zodias is too stiff for bfs fishing imo unless your fishing for bass it might be ok or bfs frogging haha the expride is much more enjoyable to fish with and way more versatile

[@marius5535]

Hi, Nice Videos, good Work, can you tell me, worth the upgrade from Zodias BFS to Expride BFS? Paired with the same Curado BFS. Thanks in advance.🎣

[@NetfishnChill]

Hi thanks allot. Definitely worth the upgrade imo the expride has a much nicer feel too it and also the blank is much nicer ,more versatile and abit more parabolic

[@marius5535]

@@NetfishnChill Thanks for such a fast answer, i will buy the Expride:) Keep up the good job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎣🎣🎣

[@NetfishnChill]

@@marius5535 nice let me know how you like it . Its much easier to throw those smaller lure on the expride that's for sure. But it also depends what you are fishing for personally I think the zodias would make a better bfs rod for zander as its stiffer with abit more backbone but the expride is much better for perch . I've had many zander on the expride but a couple big ones got away with there big boney mouths 😆

[@marius5535]

@@NetfishnChill I will come back with a reply, not now, in a month or two:) for big Perch, Zander , small pike i use the Zodias m2 5-15(spinning), and for pike the Zodias H2 12-42( casting), All great rods. The expride i will use it just for Perch with Jig, Ned and Carolina rig. The Zodias BFS , imo is not as sensitive as the 5-15g, and not the best rod for Finesse rigs, maybe better for hardbaits .

[@NetfishnChill]

@@marius5535 yeh I noticed the zodias wasn't so sensitive . Expride is . You feel bites from the smallest of perch . But at 6.3 you might struggle casting a carolina rig very far with it I use it for everything but carolina

[@d.xchannel5122]

Link to purchase the Expride rod?

[@NetfishnChill]

I put a link to the guys Instagram he does not have a website to order yet

[@antoneyrizzato5880]

Hi, this road is enough fast for softbaits?

[@NetfishnChill]

Yeh I use mostly softbaits

[@antoneyrizzato5880]

@@NetfishnChill thank you! Unfortunately I can't find in Italy. I am desperate! Is it very different from zodias 4-12 g?

[@NetfishnChill]

@@antoneyrizzato5880 yeh the blank feels completely different. The zodias is abit stiff and does not feel as nice

[@antoneyrizzato5880]

@@NetfishnChill I supposed! I ask you one last thing, do you know if by chance there is any shop in your country that has the expride and that can ship it to Italy?

[@NetfishnChill]

@@antoneyrizzato5880 you can ask henkvanhengel on Instagram let him know you come from me maybe he can order you one and ship it too you

[@fairladyz9957]

Can it cast 1/16 oz spinners?

[@NetfishnChill]

I doubt it can cast that light no about 3g is its limit maybe 2.5 at a push

[@fairladyz9957]

@@NetfishnChill are you getting good distance on 3g? I’m just interested in getting this or the dobyns bfs rod

[@NetfishnChill]

Yeh not so bad but was also using the curado bfs which is also 2.5-3g is its limit. I think the dobyns is longer no? Maybe this is a better quality rod blank and guide wise but not looked into the dobyns much but if you want to cast 2g the expride is maybe not the best option

[@owenzmortgage8273]

Go kayak Fish at bigger lake or River with . Your rod and reel combos is such a waste if just casting one hour in a pond

[@NetfishnChill]

Ok buddy 😄 this pond is connected to a huge lake and its not really wasted with all the water around the Netherlands
