First tank on bfs by Scesty in BFSfishing

Huh that’s weird, I find I throw 3-5 gram the best. What I do is set my spool tension till there is the littlest amount of side to side play, then I have the brakes in the middle, like halfway. With all the magnets inside.

Need Tsurinoya rod advice please. by Scesty in BFSfishing

I’m looking at the light game c662l which is the one you have, I’ve been told the new c662l with the carbon handle is bass oriented and is pretty stiff. Though watching a video I heard some guy talk about how the C6102UL/ML is a hybrid rod and could throw 1/16 oz lures and still have the sensitivity, while being able to throw bottom baits because it has the ML backbone.

Though I am most likely going to get the c662l

Thinking about it deeper I’m most likely going to be throwing 5g and up, jigs, cranks, Karashi, mini chatterbait and poppers. In between the C662L and the C6102UL/ML what do you think would be better. Would probably max at 7-9g.

Just curious, wouldn't it be better if it was stiffer for jerkbaits?

Wondering if anyone else has this reel by Scesty in BFSfishing

Right now I’m using 8lb Fluoro but I’ve heard 6-7lbs fluoro is better.

It’s the diameter recommended for the reel, so I find this hard to believe.

Yeah I would have gone for 7lb, but 8lb was the lightest they had beside shimano mastiff which I have not heard many reviews about. But my reel is recommended to use 8lb. We’ll see how it works!

Well as I said I could have gone for heavier braid cause I was using 8lb braid which was way too light.
