One of the first thing I noticed in US bass scene were these absurd hooks, and maybe the frenzied fish reeling. I ever hook fish like that when fishing Arapaimas and Tarpons, with their hardened mouths.

I think so.

Love them. Even in light trolling gear. I hate to use backing line.

Where the finesse aspect rests when throwing a 20g lure?

Anything MGL will have the magnumlite spool, shallower and lighter.

San Francisco river, Brazil.

Came say what @looking45 pointed. UV and heat reduces line durability.

9.4lb Giant Red / San Francisco Piranha. Landed it with my ML setup, after more than 3 minutes fight. Giant White Piranha, at least 2lb, never saw one so big. Fat Snook in the BFS setup. Last catch of the day. ML Setup: Marine Sports evolution 12lb rod + Tatula 100 with shallow spool + 14lb test braided line + 12g sinking twitchbait BFS setup: Mavllos Delicacy + Kestrel Elite BFS + 8lb test braided line + 5g sinking crankbait.

Pressurized water, soap and silicon grease.

Got bitten more than 3 years ago. Improved both quality/size and quantity of my catches. I'm fishing under very clear waters, where fishes are very wary of the surroundings.

I'm the opposite, I have difficulty using finesse lures under spinning gear. I can't conceive losing precision and better line slack control, when using spinning reels.

Daiwa Tatula 100, Fuego CT...

I would love to do it. Rest assured!

Longer handle - more torque Smaller handle - more speed, but the ipt keeps the same.

@Delaware Valley Tackle do you still mad? @Bass Rutten LOL!

Shimano reels usually have them. I don't care too much about it, since a big with makes an equivalent sound when taking the line out, when the reel has no drag clicker.

Carbon has more potential drag, since it's self-lubrificating. My curado BFS has carbon drag, who lacks any quality of decent ones.

LOL! This explain the confusion over rods rating. Several brands rate BFS above the usual BFS rates, because they use flouro as a reference, without making it explicit.

The precision and higher IPT is what made stream anglers modify baitcasting reels to smaller trout lures/spoons. A baitcasting reel can make a spoon work way better against currents.

I know the rod, but it seems more like a non-bfs trout/stream rod, like the Anglo ones.

Dude even know what is power and action, and what to argue about BFS? BFS come from the mid 70's when people started to mod round reels to throw lighter trout spoons, since baitcasters would work them better than spinning gear, by the higher speed/ipt. Concerning rod action, if one wants to see how were the first bfs-focused ones, just look for trout ones, from the early 80s. The Daiwa Pixy and the the Conquest 50 Shallow Special are the first true BFS reels, released, if I'm not wrong, in the same year, 2005. There were ''proto-bfs'' ones before, like the Calcutta/Conquest 50/50B/XT series, Abu Garcia Morrun... Where I can get info about this supposedly heavier duty BFS?

Indeed. It's the same purpose, apparently. But the IM Z intelligent features are JDM-only, restricted at software level.

Seems like the continuous fad was created now...

Even one who can't see advantages in the T-wing system?

One already interacted with you, LOL! He still butthurt with me, LOL!
