Can’t get much better than BFS

So fun to go out for an hour or two and just catch whatever is biting on a little bait-caster. New reel casts like a dream! (Loongze A51MC)

JDM Tackle - What's Your Fave?

What's your favorite JDM baits and tackle? Finesse sized to 1 ounce is what I fish.

Long story short, I need to add some stuff to my digitaka order to make it worthwhile. There is a particular hook I need from there, but shipping is $20. Might as well get some other sweet gear right?

More karashi?

Magdraft?

Spybait?

Cool finesse terminal stuff that's handy to have?

Let me know what you'd get!

Narrow Cast

Has anyone used narrow cast on a Calcutta BFS or Calcutta Shallow Water Edition? Curious how good it works ? Any downsides ? Did it improve the shallow water if so?

BFS Rain Wind Sun

had a great day with all kinds of weather, caught the biggest right after the rain when the wind picked up. Landed 15, good times. Used a couple Calcuttas.

A customer's 6500CT with NMB stainless bearings that I prepped prior to shipment

This 6500CT throws 2 ounces in excess of 150 yards. These are the same bearings Daiwa, Shimano, Isuzu, and Doyo use across their entire product lines. Abu Garcia also used them for the final decade of production of the Ambassadeur. Most bearings like Boca, Roro, AMO, and many others you see are a downgrade. Even places like Spool Speed and HPR are reselling AliExpress stuff. Quality bearings come from long established manufacturers such as NMB, SKF, EZO, NSK, and GRW. Those same brands also supply the majority of bearings used in automotive, aerospace, and precision tooling.

What line to use

Ordered a kastking zephyr to try out bfs. I've got some 25lb braid but is that too much? I see a lot people seem to use 10lb braid but is that because bigger is going to cause issues or just because bigger is overkill. I've got 6lb mono I use for my other UL I can use but I'd rather use the braid I have since it's hi-vis

Calcutta conquest vs. slx bfs?

Getting into BFS, I’ll mainly fish small rivers, ponds, and small lakes.
I’m new to bait casting and I know the conquest is the better reel at double the price of the slx. But how big is the difference?

Who doesn’t love micro pike?

Some BFS Fishing on the canal for once, I don’t take this combo out too much as it’s mainly my stocked trout rod, but today was a bit too windy for proper micro stuff so decided to get it out & do some BFS fishing on the canal. I managed probably 18 fish all together, around half micro pike & half perch. (The grass was very wet in the net picture, due to it having just hammered down).
