. One of my very favorite Ultra LIght hard baits is the Rapala Countdown CD-1 minnow. This bait is 1/16 oz, casts like a bullet, has sharp hooks and has that irresistible Rapala balsa action. Very versatile. Nickname is KILLER. https://bulk-share.slickpic.com/album/share/kMjMIYDLYzjLTT/16177606.0/8...

Here's an idea of what the Kuying SuperLite can handle w/o problem. Caught this smallmouth this weekend from a dock on a trout magnet. The bass made multiple runs under the shallow water dock I was standing on and was able to pull him back out, despite being on 4# JDM flouro. https://i.postimg.cc/x...

I am a complete tackle snob I think you know your answer. Get another Aldebaran BFS. That is sound advice if I was going specifically the BFS route. I purposely don't want to spend the money on another Aldebarran. I do have an older MG7 Aldebarran I could spruce up if the XF50 turns out to be a lem...

I am a complete tackle snob I think you know your answer. Get another Aldebaran BFS. I went through the same thing, and now I have two ABFS. Since you have one, you know "the feeling." You'll hold the $50 reel in your hand and all you wish is for the silky smooth feeling of the well refined one. Ev...

I’ll check out the kuying and major craft.

How about the tsurinoya pro flex ii ?

U are talking about backbone - and that's not necessarily an ajing issue. You can have trout rods that has strong backbone. What lbs test are you using?

8lb gliss

took the trout rod out and the mackerals were bending the rod to the grip. looking for a budget BFS ajing rod that would hold up.

did a quick session in the bay and picked up this decent one on the bendo

I love mine. use it to fish bass in local ponds. I catch fish when no one else is because I'm able throw micro lures. the lowest i'm able to throw is the 1/200 tm jighead with tm body.

had 30 mins between work and was able to manage a couple on the BFS setup. conditions weren't the best, but was able to hook a spottie and a croaker. sound was off, but they were pulling drag on the UL set up.

This. I hope. I gave up the Volkey 68L in favor of the MS-X 65L. It's lighter, more crisp, more sensitive, and better balanced. Should get a LOT of use in the coming year. https://i.postimg.cc/Fzfx5XjQ/20190208-223721-HDR.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/brjK5MHv/20190205-215016.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/nr...

comparing nanobraid and gliss with the 1/200g trout magnet jig head.

I found gliss to be easier to cast and I gained some distance.

Are you going to review the kuying on YouTube? Your vids are very informative.

just to clarify that's with the body.
