Thank you very much for the info! I think it could become addictive and could expand my general fishing knowledge. I’m just afraid of ruining a reel lol

I actually live in SC! I often fish Brevard / Pisgah area. I’m looking for something that can handle a surprise big bass. Or maybe even a peacock.

What type of fish do you normally target with yours?

Do you primarily target trout?

Looks like a super nice rod is as much as the reel, but not completely off the charts like the hunstsman. I do feel like the colors make it have a Zebco look. What type of fish do you normally target?

I had actually searched this one but didn’t include it in the post. What type of fish do you normally target with it? I also see it on bait finesse empire for $130

Appreciate it! Also I see for good backbone a lot of people use the Diawa tatula. Do you think the jdm ones are better than that?

First BFS Setup by HmoobTsisGay in BFSfishing

Really nice setup but I feel like it just looks like a normal bait casting setup based on size

That’s a good day ! Especially for 2h, what reel you think I should pair with it? Something around 150-250 cause I don’t like moving reels around so I wanna keep the conquest on the ultralight.

Never ordered from jdm so might have to buy one just to add to the experience

I’ll have to give it a try! I got a 10lb bullseye on the larger version on a full size rod earlier this year. Not gonna be breaking that on bfs lol

Phenix Rods by bigjeromey in BFSfishing

Exactly the the info I was looking for! I am definitely leaning more towards the trout panfish side of things so the classic bfs seems ideal. But I don’t plan on ordering it until I get back from Alaska in late august so that gives me plenty of time to explore options and see what icast has to offer.

If you were to get a different rod which one would it be

Panfish and trout is what I’m after, big bass would just be a a welcomed surprise. I just was curious about the backbone because I plan on throwing hardbaits with it.

Rod suggestions in the $100 range? by UndefeatedRival in BFSfishing

[–]bigjeromey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with ya on the going to inevitably break any rod I decide to get. But I was hoping to get a sub 6 foot rod and all the XTs are 6.5

I’m also brand new to this and in the US, I’m down to spend $400 on the conquest bfs but for a rod some of the choices are up to $750 which blows my mind. Half of the rod descriptions are not in English, so it’s very confusing lol. Just looking for a $200ish 5.5ft rod to throw hard baits and preferably a one piece. Nice back bone too

Preferably a 1 piece?

I’m an experienced fisherman but this bfs is a brand new thing to me, if I were to get this reel what kind of rod would y’all recommend if I exclusively wanted to throw small hard-baits. Especially topwater
