Thanks for that. I,m looking for a good BFS braid.
This looks to be first choice now.

Re: abu Gen1 Premier braking
I would guess you can, not sure if Abu glued the magnets in the holder. i cured my Gen1s wayward ness by swapping over to Avail 3.1 spools with mag plate, and just used them as BFS reels, on shakespeare Agility IM8 rods, till they got stolen.

Re: Spool, REVO Premier Gen 1 Baitcasting Reel
2009-2012 sounds more like gen2 revos as I got my Gen2 Premiers in september 2009. He used to have the Avail 3.1 and 5.1 shallow spools and the relevant mag discs to fit them and also the shaft and bearing kits. I got a full 3.1 spool kit 5 years ago from him to turn an origonal ( 2007 I think) Gen1...

Re: Major Craft Fine Tail baitcast rods
Hi JROB loving the rods !
Is there a big difference in handling and casting distance between the 2 lengths ?
I,m looking for a tiny stream/ small river rod from 3 ft wide to 40 ft wide, would the 4' 10" handle both or should I go all TT and get both rods ?

Re: Show off your BFS Casting Reels
Going old school. Abu 2500C with mods including Avail spool, 2 bearing cog wheel and level winder. It can throw 1/20oz jig head with 2.5" baby shad in par with stock pixy 68, but much easier (very hard to backlash). http://i58.tinypic.com/zv3b80.jpg What a sweet outfit =D> =D> .

Re: toro winch owners
Doubt it,d work, maybe half ounce on a 51, but even then a lot of thumb would be needed.Might work if those Avail shallow supercast spools work in it.

Right thanks for the info Vidar, I,ll give them a try. The only shop I can currently find showing them in stock is Casterhouse. Has anyone traded with them ?

Can any of you guys recomend a Japanese shop that stocks the LT or AE74 and is willing to sell to the UK ?

Re: BFS pt 1 : BFS vs UL spin, which side is Darker?
I,m currently using a Majorcraft Zaltz T792M rod and Daiwa 2004 Gekkabejin reel for ultralight work for trout and perch.
Very sensitive, fun combo , but still doesn,t feel as nice as my stolen light BC outfit.

Re: BFS pt2: the true enthusiast part, Setup and Tune!
Thanks for a very informative post. This is a style of fishing I,d like to get into, if only I could manage to source the rods and reels for it.
Is your Volkey the XUL 0.5-7g one ?

Re: ABU Revo LTZ AE-74 Abu's factory BFS weapon.
These sound to be the perfect reel for the fishing I want to do. Who,s the best people to get one from ? I,ve been trying to source an LT and its shallow spool for saltwater fishing, but I seem to keep having problems with Japanese sites. Maybe they don,t want to deal with the UK. Whats the 7' 8" ro...

Re: ABU Record NO 60
Could be a problem with the AR bearing thats in the spool. I,d ask the lads on alantani.com as theres a couple of threads about Records on there. Have a chat with Pete Coogan, lives in the Wirrel, he,s the UK Abu surgeon general, or Russ at Blakdog. You,ll find their contact details on World Sea Fis...

Cheap UL rods
Anyone used the Shakespeare Agility IM8 7ft UL rods ?
Are they any goood ?
Just looking for something fairly cheap for fishing through dense brush into small streams, so I won,t cry when I break it.
I,m looking at the BC version that fishusa has on offer.

Re: Looking for a good surf casting/big freshwater reel.
I use the Abu Record 61HC and 7001i and Revo Toro 61 HS for surf fishing. All seem durable so far with nearly 4 years of use. Akios are also worth a look. Penn do the 515 and 525 mag (squall 12 and 16) which are also highly rated by UK surf anglers. Daiwa have the Saltists and saltigas. Avets are al...
