  • When it comes to BFS reels, the Tsurinoya DWU was one of my first and is still one of my favorites. So of course I had to pick up the new Tsurinoya Genius. And my inital impression is: it's brilliant.
    The real test will be on the water, but I couldn't find anything not to like about this new offering. I even really like the deep blue paint!

    So helpful, Ive been using a bait caster for 38 years, but I'm a newbie when it comes to BFS. I think I will try the Genius for a starter reel.

    • @AaronHuntFishing
      @AaronHuntFishing  Рік тому

      Should be a great starter. I'd be interested to hear if you find BFS more forgiving. Some folks don't, but I absolutely did! Just remeber - smooth, finesse casting - don;t need the two-handed catapult cast on these! ;P

      The Shimano Aldebaran and Daiwa Silver creek are my favorites, but for budget reels the DWU and Hopefully the Genius are very good options.

    What size braid and leader do you use???

    • @AaronHuntFishing
      @AaronHuntFishing  7 місяців тому

      Typically either 6 or 8# braid with a 6# leader. Mainline is usually around PE 0.6 rating. In the process Switching to Sunline Siglon.

    Another great vid Aaron. I haven’t had any internet since the storm came thru N.E. Pa Friday. Just got it back this afternoon and I was glad to see you uploaded some more vids. Thank goodness. So Santa brought me the GoPro hero 10. How are running cords out of it and still closing the battery lid? Or is that a mic wire? I’m gonna get out Friday to make my first vid. Do you think the word fishing has to be in the name of my channel to get proper search results or does that just reflect in the thumbnail I put to each video? Like if someone searches “fishing for smallmouth” or “fishing small creeks for big bass” does that search the name of the channel or the words that named the video? I’m having trouble figuring out a good name for my channel… obviously. Lol. Anyway, thanks again for ur awesome content and always giving it to us straight. Also thanks for your time with newbies like myself.

    • @AaronHuntFishing
      @AaronHuntFishing  Рік тому +1

      That is a mic cord. I only have run an external battery on a kayak so far - but it worked on my Hero 7. Channel name: 2 schools of thought. If you're building a personal brand, use your name. Second line is name it so people know what it's about. I kinda went the latter route for 2 reasons. 1: UA-cam early growth is highly search-based. So the first year or 2 you'll likely rely on search for new viewers. But that is mostly from your titles, keywords, and "maybe" tags. 2. Once you devleop a following, you can change your name to a personal brand if you want.
      The best example from someone I've followed for years is a guy name Matti Hapooja. You can see why maybe he didn;t start with his name... LOL. www.youtube.com/@mattih
      His channel started as "Travel Feels" and somewhere around 4 years ago he changed. he went from around maybe 50k subs to 1.2M in that time. So the channel name, logos, branding, etc aren't very important in my mind, unless you really are targeting a niche. A recent one I saw was the Bait Finesse Fishing channel - or soemthing like that. I immediately knew what it was and was interested.
      Good luck, and have fun. The more videos you create, the more often, the faster you improve. :) And experiment with the type of video to find your style and what the viewers like. Hope you get some awesome early traction!

      Ok that makes a lot of sense, thank you. I made a couple short vids(a couple 10mins and shorter) hiking with the kids on the GoPro today. I was able to wirelessly send the videos to my iPhone but it made a separate album and didn’t go into my videos folder so when I go on UA-cam to upload I can’t because I only have the option to upload from my videos?? I guess I have to fire up the new MacBook and try it that way. Are you an Apple guy? What editing software do you use and how does it work. I’m gonna spend the day tomorrow fiddling around with it. It just seems like it should be easier to post a video from a go pro. I guess I’m not real tech savvy. Also my battery didn’t last that long in the cold. How many batteries do you have? I would need like 4 of them just to get a full 8 hr trip recorded. Then the 64mb micro card I got only holds a little over 2hrs of content. Guess I need a bigger one of those too right? Any input will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks again for ur time Aaron.

    • @AaronHuntFishing
      @AaronHuntFishing  Рік тому

      I'd say Genius. They are very similar reels these days, but the genius has the extra gear ratio that I think makes it better for streams.

    So i just got one. My first bfs reel. Put it on a jenko double down rod. Haven't spooled it up yet. Kinda intimidating honestly lol
    Gonna be a steep learning curve i think. So any updates on the performance? Any suggestions on line to use?

    • @AaronHuntFishing
      @AaronHuntFishing  Рік тому +1

      performs well. maybe the most stable out of the clones I've tried. Couple tips: tighten the spool tension until the lure drops at a slow, controlled rate starting out, and set the brakes up high. You will miss to the left when you cast. But just drop the brakes down a couple clicks at a time until it casts straight. Then gradually decrease the spool tension adjustment for distance.
      As far as line, I've really been enjoying Diawa J-braid. Great casting distance and knot strength, and doesn't seem as likely to get a knotted birds nest when it happens...
      Enjoy!

      Debería poder manejarlo si no necesita más capacidad de línea. Pero si estuviera apuntando a una trucha de 5 kg, probaría con un baitcaster mejor. Si este es su rango de precios, tal vez considere el Soloking Acura con 2 carretes. s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DEVMnbv

    • @AaronHuntFishing
      @AaronHuntFishing  Рік тому +1

      Maybe a 4? 5? Not in the same category. I really don't find this reel to be smooth at all. I'd put Alde at a 9. Gekkabijin at a 10. I'd probably spend about double the money and get the Shimano SLX BFS if you can. I recently got the SLX DC XT and it's pretty impressive. The SLX BFS will be next for me. And you can get it in 6.2.

    • @AaronHuntFishing
      @AaronHuntFishing  Рік тому

      Dark wolf ultra first, then Valiant Eagle second. Valiant Eagle is easier to cast, maybe a little smoother feeling, DWU is more versatile overall and can throw lower weights. Easier to modify for higher performance.
