I am dabbling in BFS these days, and can agree a 100% that it’s not true UL angling. But having said that I will say that it’s quite close to spinning tackle if casting weights 1/16 oz (more like 2 gram plus) and over. I went bourgie mode and got an 22 Aldebaran BFS which is perhaps the longest casting stock BFS reel in the global market today. So that helps getting casting distance comparable to spinning gear. But 1.5 grams and under SUL, XUL, and UL spinning rods rule. My Matagi TWA 662 XUL casts a 0.5 - 1 gram jighead + trout magnet a country mile with 1.75 lbs ester. The auto hooking capability has turned it into my preferred rod for panfish.
