Ultralight BFS Review | Shimano Sensilite And Kastking Zephyr ($120 COMBO?)

[@aaanglers]

Have you tried a BFS setup yet?

[@ILLUMINATHAN79]

Yeah, i got the 7’4 Dobyns Ultra Finese Casting Rod and the Curado BFS. Match made in heaven for ned rigs.

[@christiecoopersellshouses5738]

For sure! Just got a Daiwa Alphas and paired it with my Cashion kayak cranking rod until the Megabass Hyuga I have on order arrives. The Alphas is as smooth as butter! The setup will probably become my go-to for drop shot. Never throwing a spinning rod again...lol

[@jimking2299]

BFS is what the best ultralight gear would be, if no one had invented the spinning reel.

[@aaanglers]

I disagree, it definitely has it's on place. I prefer casting small cranks, chatters, spinners, etc on BFS over spinning.

[@mattlee8638]

Saw your videos of a quality BFS combo. Ended up getting the exact same combo and just broke it in for the first time yesterday with a 16 bass total. 10/10 combo lovinnnnng it man! Thanks for the reviews

[@terribleatfishing]

that is my setup, enjoy it a lot. I would like to try a better brand BFS and see the difference. I use straight mono, the braid kept breaking on me on my bfs

[@gregpowers5669]

Thanks for the review I have my Zephyr on a 20 year old shimano rod that is too soft thanks for the info. I also have the Defy silver in 6’6” keep up the great work I watch them all

[@Army_Outdoors_88N]

I laughed out loud at the Chatter do doo doo singing 🤣 and the whole lake heard me....🤪🤪

[@aaanglers]

Hahaha 🤣

[@SnailvisionFishing]

So glad I found this video, I’m in the thought process of getting this setup

[@alvinli512]

I got the shimano adlebaran 22 and the kastking zephyr 6ft casting rod.

[@chrisrobinson9332]

Just a small tip,, bend tour hooks up just a little bit on those smaller lures. It has helped my hook up rate a lot

[@fishingthe262]

I think you owe Clayton Schick a royalty for the “ain’t no use” reference.

[@jeffbranson835]

Did you say adjust in the drag was helping with the overruns maybe that’s the secret to tune in these reels?

[@aaanglers]

Not sure, def dialed the mag breaks to 11 lol

[@bdooley8469]

Jeff, you mentioned the curado would be a better finesse casting reel, which one in particular?

[@aaanglers]

Curado BFS

[@synaptik111]

Thanks for this video! What length of leader line did you go with?

[@aaanglers]

4-6 ft

[@synaptik111]

Cool - Thanks @@aaanglers

[@Fearthelettuce]

You're right about coppertruce! Best color! Drew's Craw is my #2

[@CrazyCranker]

What brand braid are you using?

[@aaanglers]

Power pro

[@CrazyCranker]

Do you have a link where to get the Shimano Sensilite Rod? Amazon is sold out. :(

[@frankcornacchia8637]

Check out tackledirect, that's where I got mine!

[@aaanglers]

Fishusa or dicks sporting goods

[@Plee92]

I got zephyr and curado bfs. The curado is definitely better in all ways. But that the difference between budget and mid range

[@Jb_outdooradventures]

??? Would you recommend this reel for Rapala and eurotackle 1/8 hardbaits?? I have quite a few and want to ultralight bfs

[@aaanglers]

for sure!

[@seizedcarcass8440]

How well do you think this combo would handle a 1/32 ounce jighead? Obviously it would probably be closer to 1/16 with the plastic on the jighead and I want to use 4lb test line.

[@aaanglers]

It can do it for sure. I fish Mule donkey tails jrs on this. I prefer spinning though

[@gizmo1383]

I hope the line doesn't get eaten by the spool. That's why I need a new one...I'm hoping this one is better!

[@ronporter3885]

What knot are you using to connect the leader? Also how long of a leader.

[@aaanglers]

The albright knot, 6-10 ft

[@michaelfoster5044]

Check out the chatterbait flashback mini if you get some bend the loops close more and good to go, also stop whipping it out there this is not bass rods and reels toss it out there with finesse

[@kylenorris587]

I got the zephyr to try out BFS. It’s definitely better than I expected but I have to re line it everyday because the line keeps jumping the spool and getting stuck inside the reel. Did yours do that with the mono?

[@casualmemesurfer2754]

I bought one of those cheap Ozark trail bait casting combos from Walmart and the reel did that exact thing. The line would go between the spool and the body of the reel. I've never had that happen ever and I've owned a ton of bait casters

[@blicky308]

I use 8 pound spiderwire braid on my zephyr no issues with the line getting stuck on the spool, ever. Running it on a 4"6 ugly stick and 6"0 ugly as well . I'm throwing a weightless wacky

[@Fearthelettuce]

I had the same thing happen with my GH100. I added some clear nail polish to the reel frame to fill it in. It's easy to do if you slowly add it coat by coat and is removeable with acetone if you have issues.

[@jonathantorz114]

Mine did with mono. Switched to 4 lb braid and no issues so far

[@Dave_Ehlers]

Will we be seeing a Curado BFS in your future? After watching this video, I think there may be a good chance of it.

[@aaanglers]

For sure!

[@bassbarge]

Where is your PA???

[@aaanglers]

At the shop still sadly

[@bassbarge]

@@aaanglers I missed that. What happened dude?

[@aaanglers]

Broke a spring in the clutch, so it didn’t turn… hopefully back this week

[@williamtomlin192]

Not bad day bass perch and bluegill

[@aaanglers]

So fun!

[@ScruffyCityFishing]

Nice video! Been a few months. Have you dialed in your bfs set up and more?

[@aaanglers]

No changes yet, but I have a new reel coming

[@FishiganMilligan]

Awesome stuff bro! I need to get one of these setups.

[@jonathantorz114]

Where you guys out of? Alpena here.

[@aaanglers]

Near Ann Arbor

[@davidcilley8488]

It's a light, not an ultralight? Definitely going to look into it.

[@filc0]

love that dink at the end.... Team Dink

[@davecooper6551]

I'd like to see a bfs reel on a googan twitch rod

[@glennschramm7255]

finally a page that catches big's 😁

[@aaanglers]

Tanks only
