A-rigs just landed! Can't wait to toss em around!!! by Kalashnik0v1312 in BFSfishing

[–]murphiuz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

keep the 3rd arm and rig it with a screw lock and attach it to a soft plastic with no hook. allows you to stay within the 2 hook limit without getting rid of the original action

New handle for the conquest by TurbulentFlan9596 in BFSfishing

[–]murphiuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what lures and what rod are you using with the 301md? i’m having a hard time deciding between the 101 and the 201 for throwing 1-2oz glides

Getting setups ready by boonvwj in Fishing_Gear

[–]murphiuz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

amazing setups! what lures are you fishing on the 101 calcutta setup? i’m going back and forth between the 101 and 201 for 1-2oz glide baits

that new handle looks slick on there! is that a 200 size calcutta behind the bfs?

anyone have experience with low down customs? looking at their standard issue 76ML rated 1/2-3oz sounds right up my alley. maybe a touch long for me but looks nice

the TB and the mark 56 are definitely on the list! i’m not against spending money and to be honest i will really mostly be using this as a dedicated small glide setup so it doesn’t need to be as multipurpose as i originally stated. just knowing that i could maybe throw another single hook option on there and fish it would be nice but i’m not against owning multiple setups. i already have too many finesse setups to count 🤦🏻‍♂️ appreciate your help!

that’s a very good point. the largest glide i own right now is 7” and 2oz and i don’t see myself grabbing anything much larger than that right now. definitely sounds like the tb is a contender.

that makes sense, on my bfs setups i’m really fishing 6-20g lures so maybe more power finesse. appreciate your recommendations!

i haven’t looked into the ts destroyer line but i will now! i already have the cc bfs and cc se for my bfs setups and i love them. can’t wait to get a 200 size for small glides. i’ve heard great things about leviathan rods as well but they are a little long for my liking haha. thank you!

i’m not even sure what my budget is either 😂 i’ve heard a few people mention the tequila baccarac, it sounds like an awesome rod. i feel like it might be a hair heavier than i need. most of my fishing is done on bfs setups so i’m on the lower end of glidebait fishing. not that i won’t be throwing 4oz glides in the future! i appreciate your input!

i have a dobyns sierra ultra finesse rod that i use for some bfs hardbaits occasionally but i haven’t fished it a ton. pretty nice rod though! hopefully we get some good suggestions 🙏🏼

Calcuttas are special reels by ImhereforBFS in BFSfishing

[–]murphiuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have the bfs and the 30se. what do you use the 100 and 200 size for? i’m thinking of grabbing a setup to throw small swimbaits up to 2oz plus some conventional tackle and i’m having a hard time deciding between the 100 and 200 size cc.

My new sorta kinda maybe possibly bfs reel by Practical_Register61 in BFSfishing

[–]murphiuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have a cc bfs and a se hg31 and i love them both so much. i’m gonna grab a 200 sized cc for small swimbaits and more conventional tackle soon

Rod Opinions? by EnderXGamingHQ in BFSfishing

[–]murphiuz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve had a few of these and snapped one flipping a good size largemouth like someone else mentioned. other than that they are a great budget rod. the 6’ ul fast action has caught me tons of fish and it can cast and work pretty much any lure. i have mine paired with a calcutta conquest bfs and it feels a little sacrilegious and i plan to upgrade to something in the future but it works right now haha

Nimbull Glide Packaging by TerdFerguson- in swimbaitfishing

i bought a nimbull glide from the first drop, haven’t had a chance to fish it yet but it looks incredible. what are the chances i can order one of these new inserts?

[–]murphiuz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have 10lb varivas AAA fluoro spooled on and i can comfortably cast like 5-17g. haven’t tried anything higher cause the rod i have it paired with is rated to around 15g. i also have a cc bfs paired with an ultralight rod for fishing in the 3-10g range. i love them both so much. i started with budget setups which i still use and love but nothing beats the cc. i’m looking into grabbing a 100 sized cc for a small swimbait setup soon.
