Re: Alphas air stream custom

I inquired to Digitaka, the other day, and got them to add it to the pre-order and/or got them to fix the pre-order link. :D

I can't wait to get it in!

Re: Tatula Elite AGS M/MH for Jerkbait?

I kayak fish, and use to own the AGS rod you mentioned. It worked great for light 3/16 to 3/8 jigs. It also did fine working a Pointer 100sp, but it's not a jerkbait rod. I would look for something else.

Re: Where are the shimanos?

Cool gear! What is with the spool on that aldeberan? Look like the ported holes are uneven Thanks. It's a KTF 1st gen spool for the 16 Aldebaran BFS. They couldn't port the spool where the FTB magnetic brake is located. It looks like the 2nd gen spool isn't ported, and allows a more controlled, eas...

Re: Where are the shimanos?

Here's my first Shimano combo. Not the greatest pics, but it's still cold out.

Can't wait to see how this rod compares to my other ML casting rods.

Re: Can anyone compare the NRX 852 and dx702?

I have the previous generation of the DX702C, and only use it for bottom contact presentations (Ned, tube, finesse worm). Used it once on a river float with a RC 0.5 and some smaller jerkbaits, but didn't care for using them on that rod.

It wouldn't be my first choice for the Vision 110.

Re: R I P Guido Hibdon

One of my fishing heroes, when I was a kid. Still have a couple of packets of his Guido bug. He's in a better place.

Re: What rods do you thinks we'll see debut at the Classic?

Here's a link to the new BFS Ultima. It's coming out in April. It's got an extra fast action.

Re: Odd find @ Dick's Sporting Goods ...

Thanks for the heads up.

I snatched up a couple of their hardcore 65sp jerkbaits. I'm hoping they fish as well as the pin minnow.

Re: Dobyns 2018 Ultra High End Rods

No 702C or 742C? Just combine the two rods together and offer a 722. Kind of like what Daiwa does, and call it a ML/M power. I really want a finesse casting rod in this series. If they make a finesse casting rod, I will purchase one or two of them.

Re: Techna AV rebuild.

You read my mind. I got a 7' medium power fast action Techna AV that I wanted to turn into a BFS rod. Let us know how it turns out.

Yes, I like to bring a selection of beer on my river floats. There's also a brewery at the take out point.

Re: Trout baits?

Nice pics Chris! There's nothing better than catching big brown trout in the river with light casting gear. That Conquest BFS looks classy on that rod. Here's some more inspiration LowRange. Caught these guys on a bigger suspending jerkbait. While the jerkbait was suspending, I would get to see the ...
