Would probably work great with in-line spinners for trout as long as they were 1/8oz or heavier. I have built some in-line spinners specifically for casting on my BFS tackle for targeting spotted bass at the boat ramps we fish . After the first backlash, Id go back to my spinning tackle .
My BFS equipment is entry level at best .
Ive found that the lightest lures I can throw on a good day are 1/16 oz .
The wind is never your friend with throwing an baitcaster . And the lightest line I could use without it getting inside the spool gap was 6# test and it would get behind the spool sometimes.
Spinning tackle is king in light and ultralight fishing IMO .
You are 100 percent correct. I dont get into many discussions about that as some are trying to say BFS is UL and it is not. I may still get a setup now that I am on a trout river. It is ideal for casting spinnerscranks, to trout where you need more accuracy. But for those thinking its good for micro plastics, well it just aint.
