China/aliexpress gear?
Has anyone tried the fly fishing rods from China? I know there are some decent casting rods for a good price like the kuying rods so I wonder if those rods can be good budget rods or whether they are just garbage.

Re: Is BFS and ultralight baitcasting the same?
Sure I just need a way to buy it without my wife finding out. She already thinks I'm crazy when I buy a 150 buck reel:).

Re: Is BFS and ultralight baitcasting the same?
I think my spool is around 9g. Cc51 is super nice and also great looking but a little out of my budget:).

Re: Is BFS and ultralight baitcasting the same?
For me the lower limit is around 2.5 grams. I have a kuying xul and a chronarch with a micro cast spool. With spoons I can do 2g but then it gets really tricky. 3-4g works very well.

Re: Reeling Demographics... are you a righty or lefty
I'm a lefty who throws right and reels left:). I'm from Germany and here it is common to throw right and reel left. But my first reel was left handle because there was nothing else available so I learned to cast with the wrong hand. I cast quite well with my off hand, maybe I should learn to cast wi...

Re: Is BFS and ultralight baitcasting the same?
I also read that bfs rods are usually faster and stiffer and usually they tend to work better around the upper range of the casting weight. So a bfs rod rated 1/16-1/4 would usually cast better around 1/4. So for sub 1/8 a true ul or trout rod would be better but those rods tend to be softer so they...

Re: Microcast spool vs real bfs reel
New rod arrived and made a couple casts. Used 1.5 g jighead and one inch rubber fish (total weight around 2,2 grams)

Would cast like 10 meters or so, maybe 12. Not great distances but certainly fun.

Re: Japan style trout spoons
I read some people writing that bronze color would be like the absolute best for trout.

Re: 16 Adlebaron BFS XG ????
I have not fished it but I know some guys who have it and they said thjs reel is currently the gold standard. However bfs is getting bigger and abu and daiwa might be working on matching that. I also know a guy who has fished the alde and scorpion bfs and he said the alde is slightly better but scor...

Japan style trout spoons
Who has tried them? Which models? Do they also work for other fish?

Re: Microcast spool vs real bfs reel
I meant the actual casting technique. I realize the distances are going to be shorter. But should you cast the same or using different mechanics? Use more wrist action?
