Thread: Memorial Day trout trip salvaged

Long story short there was no fish caught. Hope you get to chase the trout soon.

Hi Tim! Sorry to hear about your truck. Hope it’s an easy fix. Sometimes I wonder if manufacturers design a product to begin having issues at a certain stage in its life cycle. That way they can sell us another one

I like BFS for trout fishing hands down… since I could never master feathering the spool on a spinning reel. For lake panfish I prefer spinning rods, but I’ve dabbled some with BFS.

Spinning gear is way more effective for 1 gram or lighter jig heads. The BFS reel in the pic above has an aftermarket spool that allows it to cast as low as 0.6 grams. However, I don’t think that is practical (at least for me).

Hopefully I will get good conditions for trout before the water gets too warm. And, that you can get back on the fish.
