fshng84 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2022 DIY Inline Spinner for BFS Fishing Forgot I had the inline spinner lure making kit. It was gathering dust in the closet. Luckily, I remembered it was there after ordering another Kastking Zephyr BFS Reel... this one has a reel clicker like the Shimano Scorpion 17 Reel. In short order, made two inline spinners using 1/16oz worm weights for the body. Tried them at a couple of ponds and had one Bass strike but did not land it. Need to use a bigger treble hook. Made the modification, now just got a catch a fish... who knows, maybe with the new Kastking Zephyr BFS with reel clicker. Supposed to deliver tomorrow! #bfsfishing #baitfinesse #inlinespinner Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng84 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2022 Kastking Zephyr BFS with Reel Clicker | Got a Bass on the Short Rod and DIY Inline Spinner New reel arrived - Kastking Zephyr BFS reel with reel clicker. Liked the model without a clicker, decided to try the one with a clicker. Made a quick trip to the local pond and had a Bass on briefly before it threw the hook. Afterwards, it was a slow go without another strike. Decided to demo the casting ability of the short rod combo. Casting the DIY inline spinner that I modified by adding a larger treble hook, the combo cast well. Inline spinner weighed just over 1/16oz. Estimated casting distance was 20 yards based on steps. Was going to keep going longer but had to run to the grocery store for an errand. Luckily, there is a pond near the store. Made a cast or two and landed a nice Bass. Looks like the Short Rod Combo and inline spinner can catch a fish or two! Fun times! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng84 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2022 Issues with the audio sync of the original live stream update from the Team! Here is a updated video with the sync issue resolved and additional footage to support the answer to the question about pros and cons of BFS versus Spin Casting. Was tough to find info specific to comparing BFS with Spin Casting. Decided to try a different approach and then search online. As I am a novice at BFS, thoughts were to collate inputs from other more experienced fishermen. Do check out the pre-recorded discussion and lets us know why you decided to try Bait Finesse Systems Fishing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, first chance at fishing, was out at the local pond with the BFS Kastking Zephyr with Reel Clicker and Bass Pro Shops 3' Short Rod. This time went with a Senko to get a Bass to take!

fshng84 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2022 Mystery Tackle Box Unboxing | BFS Fishing Lures? Second of a three box subscription that yours truly received as a Christmas Gift. Decided on the Panfish and Trout option because we have had good luck with the light weight lures that target panfish and trout.... and more important, can be used for Bait Finesse System aka ultralight baitcasting. This round had five lures of which the Slim John Spoon at 1/12oz and Crappie Jigs at 1/16oz should work well with the BFS Combos we have! Do check back; hope to catch a fish or two with them!

fshng84 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2022 Warren Sports Complex Trout Fishing #frisco #livestream[/ur/] Fishing updates and related activities from the Team! Do check back as we post YouTube Shorts, Videos, and Live Streams while we are out and about. This round we fished Warren Sports Complex for the Trout Stocking in Frisco. Past years the tout were stocked at the Frisco Commons pond. This year and maybe going forward, the Warren Sports Complex was stocked. The annual Trick A Trout Derby was held yesterday, but it sounds like the trout were stocked during the week instead of early Saturday morning. The bite was slow with some limits observed; we suspect the change in temps - dropped 30 degrees from yesterday, had something to do with the slow down in the action. Moreover, it is a big pond; more like a lake. Seemed like the trout were deep or lurking near the waterflow along the North bank - the one with the concrete retaining wall. Do have video while we there; do check back! Lots of wind noise; apologies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
