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!

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!

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!

Audio is still slightly off; added footage helps.

Snow delay from the recent Winter Storm has yours truly indoors staying warm. 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!

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!
