Re: Anyone tried DIY spools? $29-$40 BFS spools!
I am always reminded of how ice skaters slow down by spreading their arms out. That's why I wondered if having a lower/wider the spool that would be closer to the shaft would help it spin faster.

I should have said spin more easily. I still remember moving to the center of the carousel after we got it spinning, so we didn't have to hang on so tightly, and that was more than 60 years ago!Oleg wrote:Correct observation, but not quite correct conclusion!mark poulson wrote:I am always reminded of how ice skaters slow down by spreading their arms out.

I also watched as my children on the carousel approaching and moving away from the center change the speed of rotation of the carousels.
Re: Anyone tried DIY spools? $29-$40 BFS spools!
I did some small calculations because I wanted to know how big the effect of the shaft is.
Basically it shouldn't matter alot, but it still does. Probably the last step to perfection.
This should be a simple model to demonstrate the physics of a baitcaster reel.
Edit:Corrected
I hope everything is correct but you can see that the Moment of Inertia consists of 3 parts:
1: Outer Rim with the line
2: Spokes (in case of BFS spools)
3: Shaft
Everything is basically mass x radius², but the Momentum of the Bait = F x R cancels one radius out.
Because the radius of the shaft is small compared to the full radius, it's inertia will be: 0.5 x mass x (r_shaft² / R)
Can you confirm this Oleg? You seem to be familiar with dynamics.

Re: Anyone tried DIY spools? $29-$40 BFS spools!
Yes you are right there is a mistake, I think it should be like this then:
Impulse/Momentum conservation: p = F, and p = m*v so Fbait = m * v
my brain has turned into mush...
I'll try your bifilar suspension method and pm you the results. I don't know if this becomes kinda offtopic.

Re: Anyone tried DIY spools? $29-$40 BFS spools!
I totally mixed everything up,
p = m*v
F= m*a
Ekin= 1/2 m*v²
my problem was that once the bait has been accelerated, it has a constant speed -> this energy now transfers partly to the spool and rotates it. I wanted to solve it with impulse/momentum conservation.
How would you solve it?
Edit:
change Fbait to Fbait = (m*v)/dt and using another equation "Conservation of energy" should do it:
E Rot = E Kin
1/2 J * w² = 1/2 m * v²
then you would need to solve it for time and also for w * r = v
p = m*v
F= m*a
Ekin= 1/2 m*v²

Re: Anyone tried DIY spools? $29-$40 BFS spools!
I know what you mean it's hard to describe, I probably did the same when I only had the heavy stock spool. The Bait alone would not accelerate the spool, but with that technique, that long casting motion it's possible to slowly put more and more energy into the system. For me it worked better with rods too hard/heavy. I guess you slowly let the spool slip under your thumb before the end of the cast?
Impulse transfer results only a spinning spool and a bait that doesn't have any energy left to fly away.
Anyways it was a nice talk (I saw my mistake and corrected it btw)

'Deep' DIY Long Cast spool for Tat CT. I always thought the DIYs were a little too shallow.

Where's the "FLUX CAPACITOR" installed on the spool ?Doge wrote:I did some small calculations because I wanted to know how big the effect of the shaft is.

Seriously a well illustrated bro. Good job.

Is anyone using a DIY BFS spool to cast down to a 1/16 for trout? Or am I better off going Scorpion BFS?
Re: Anyone tried DIY spools? $29-$40 BFS spools!
I'm not but I know guys are. I can throw an aerodynamic friendly 1/16 total weight very well with a fixed inductor DIY and a Volkey 652UL. A non fixed inductor spool may struggle a bit at the low end with UL baits that decelerate rapidly and don't carry their momentum well but a bit of super glue to the air brake can fix that. Once the tapered inductor is affixed into the extended position the spools are visually very similar to the Pixy Presso spool (I don't have this spool to comment on performance) and cast very similar to the fixed inductor Megabass Finesse Spool for Zonda which I do have. For heaiver 1/8 oz total weight baits I prefer the Air Brake but once I go below that I'm opting for a fixed inductor spool, linear mag brake spool or "fixing" a Air Brake spool into the extended position to make a fixed inductor.Isaiah20 wrote:Is anyone using a DIY BFS spool to cast down to a 1/16 for trout?

EDIT: I'm speaking about the Daiwa spools. I can't comment about the SVS or VBS Shimano spools.
Re: Anyone tried DIY spools? $29-$40 BFS spools!
I have in a PX68 on a UL trout rod and while it can cast an 1/16oz spinner on 4lb mono, it is not at all that "stable". Even a minor mistake on my part birdnest's it. Stepping up to a 1/8oz one works a ton better, I can whip it out very far and make closers, more accurate casts.Isaiah20 wrote:Is anyone using a DIY BFS spool to cast down to a 1/16 for trout?

I suspect a more experienced caster could do better, but my thumb is not yet up to it.

I think it would help to fix the inductor but once done there is no going back.Houndfish wrote:I have in a PX68 on a UL trout rod and while it can cast an 1/16oz spinner on 4lb mono, it is not at all that "stable".

Re: Anyone tried DIY spools? $29-$40 BFS spools!
The DIY spool is fine for BFS. While 1/16th oz is possible, I believe that is asking for a headache - even with the Scorpion BFS - or at least the occasional small backlashes. Find a slightly heavier lure and be happy :-)Isaiah20 wrote:Is anyone using a DIY BFS spool to cast down to a 1/16 for trout? Or am I better off going Scorpion BFS?
