I go trout fishing at the Arkansas River in Pueblo, Colorado and had a tough day out fishing. I decided to go to a nearby pond and was able to land a couple trout.
Dude the budget gear is getting better now than the expensive gear on the market today, can’t tell the difference with the budget gear because it’s so smooth
It’s been so long since I went trout fishing it reminds of my grandfather he used to bring me in my dad trout fishing at his camp sadly he passed but hopefully in years to come I will keep the tradition alive! I am 16 so soon I will be able to drive back to the camp and make videos of me fishing there!!
Sorry to hear about our grandfather but I believe he would appreciate you keeping the tradition alive! Fishing is just something everyone should pass along for generations! I hope you enjoyed the video I’ll be posting more soon!
BFS 🙌🏻! Great video. The place your fishing is awesome! So relaxing and calm. Looking forward to more of your content. I agree that any fishes you catch give you a run for your money!!!
Yeah it has been the most exciting way to fish! I’ve always loved fishing with light tackle especially for bass but weather here makes the bass fishing extremely hard until it warms up. Hopefully soon though I’ll be bass fishing!
You should buy the pole to match the Zephyr. Only one person authorized to sell the Zephyr rods is Bait Finesse Empire. They have them for 84.99. It’s an ultra light rod, great for trout fishing. They also have upgraded ceramic bearings for the Zephyr and they make the reel cast even better!! Good luck!!
I have been fishing for 25 years of my life and honestly I never really got into BFS because when I was growing up it was all about who could catch the biggest fish but although I personally see no appeal in BFS I do find the concept interesting to some degree I personally prefer a traditional style baitcaster with a braided main line and a 3 foot fluorocarbon leader line. One thing I can say though is that probably the reason I don't find BFS reels appealing or even necessary is because when you use a traditional baitcaster for as many years as I have you find ways to use it for any fish species big or small. There is a common misconception that traditional baitcasters are only good for big fish species but that simply isn't true because once you use one for long enough you find ways to utilize it for smaller fish species as well one thing that really helps is understanding the gear ratios of baitcasters. Because the lower numbered gear ratios are great for bigger fish because they have more torque but the higher gear ratios are great for smaller species that require more speed and less torque to catch that is actually the main reason professional bass fishermen typically use higher gear ratios and lighter line when using a baitcaster.
@@noobpyrotech9991 Yeah the lighter the lure the harder it is to cast, I usually loosen my spool until my lure drops at a decent speed then tighten my brakes. Once I get a feel for it I start loosening my brakes to get more distance. I hope that helps
Nice video showing real life fishing -ie many casts to get a fish . If you are just starting out , try first casts standing back from waters edge , and work your way across the water . Re the conditions , and old fly fishing "lore" is dark day dark fly (lure) , bright day bright fly /lure . You may find you are casting over fish by going for distance . If you are not aware of "euro nymphing" -check it out on here , and see how close you can get to fish - they are often hooked under the rod tip . Enjoy your angling journey - its not all about catching fish , being out there in the peace n quiet is good for the soul lol .
Thank you so much I really appreciate the advice and comment! Recently I have been learning to fly fish and I’ve learned so much more about fishing that I’m in love with it now! I have caught many trout now euro nymphing it’s a blast! More videos to come!
Great video, suggestion would be a shorter swimbait you’re getting a lot of short strikes I would rip some of the head off the bait to shorten it which is usually what I do with the short 2.5in swimbaits for finesse fishing
That’s a nice spot. Not much pressure and looks like a decent fish population. Can you share the link to the rod? I am wanting to get into BFS, but supplies are scarce.
Oh yeah it’s a beautiful place here in Pueblo, Colorado! So this is the link to the rod it’s off of AliExpress m.aliexpress.com/item/32346360215.html , it took a little bit to get here but you won’t be disappointed! I appreciate the comment and I also recommend my friends channel, “The BFS Prophet” he gets more into upgrades on the reels and gear. Thank you for watching and commenting hope you enjoyed the content!
I agree. Try using kastking 10lbs PE x4 braid with 0.09mm diameter. Other braids with the same strength has 0.14 diameter. I have the same reel with L max steel for the win rod along with my kastking brutus MH setup. Happy with these two and I can say it competes with curado. downside is the frequency of maintenance especially if you go saltwater but hey, you gain knowledge in maintaining reels.
@@pulchaimago4u no worries, so I’m this particular reel the drag does not click so I acts more like a regular baitcaster. And the drag is adjustable the star drag next to the turn handle. Hope that answers your question.
@@pulchaimago4u oh sorry for the misunderstanding, yeah no mine works smoothly, might want to give it a clean to get some of that thick factory grease off and add some reel grease, see if that works if not then it could be a defect!?
My father taught me how to fish before I can remember-about 65 years ago. You should find someone who actually knows how to fish-to teach you. You are just guessing.

Yea I agree, I’ve heard great things about the dark wolf ultra reel as well and is cheap

Thank you for the comment, I gifted this reel to my friend because I bought a shimano bfs reel. But I’ll pass this on to him!
Nice trout !beautiful places to fish thanks
Thank you I appreciate your comment!
Awesome video, I just got into bfs fishing 🎣 Just subbed, keep up the videos 👍
Awesome! Thank you!

He’s killing the game
Thanks!
Glad you were able to cast with 20lb test. I have tried 4lb and 6lb mono and can’t cast far at all.
Yes, it might be due to your setting on your bait caster?
@@confidentangler2992 yeah it takes some tuning to get some distance, also the weight of my lures can help.
@@noobpyrotech9991 Yeah the lighter the lure the harder it is to cast, I usually loosen my spool until my lure drops at a decent speed then tighten my brakes. Once I get a feel for it I start loosening my brakes to get more distance. I hope that helps
Good Luck Angler
Thank you Sir!
Can’t wait to receive my new bfs rod and reel

If don’t recommend using braid around rocks, even if it’s with a leader, the braid will cut very easily
Thank you for your comment
what rod is that and what power/action are you using? I have a zephyr and been having a heck of a time trying to find a good rod below $400
It’s called the kuying Teton and it’s a medium light action, I found it on the alliexpress website for around 80 bucks
mantap bro.👍👍👍💪💪💪
Thank you!

20lb braid is too heavy for bfs, 10lb max

What type of pole is that. I have the same reel and would luke to match it up.
It’s the kuying Teton 662L
try flies with micro spoon, super fun :D
Yeah I haven’t tried that but I need too! You fish with bfs gear or fly fishing gear?
@@confidentangler2992 bfs mate, no point with fly gear :D. I just tie the flies behind micro spoon or crankbait, a clear bobber will do the trick too
@@HarryDK huh interesting! Thank you for the tip I’ll have to try that!
@@confidentangler2992 ua-cam.com/video/yTDRgZ4c4sc/v-deo.html
👍
Thank you!
nice video, what kind of thread do you use?
There I was using 20lb suffix braid with 6lb leader, but I would recommend 10-6lb braid instead.
@@confidentangler2992 thank you
great video! Does the Zephyr reel work well with GLASSFIN glass rod? by GLASSFIN rod, I mean ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=glassfin+rod
I haven’t personally used that rod but I can’t see why it wouldn’t work just fine with it. It would be a fun rod since it’s a glass rod!
How did you find the clutch?
Hey Michael, sorry I don’t understand your question exactly?
Sorry by clutch I mean the drag, thanks
@@pulchaimago4u no worries, so I’m this particular reel the drag does not click so I acts more like a regular baitcaster. And the drag is adjustable the star drag next to the turn handle. Hope that answers your question.
@@confidentangler2992 thanks for reply, I was thinking more how smooth it was when fishing line, mine is not smooth.
@@pulchaimago4u oh sorry for the misunderstanding, yeah no mine works smoothly, might want to give it a clean to get some of that thick factory grease off and add some reel grease, see if that works if not then it could be a defect!?

Thanks for the comment. I haven’t been fishing very long but I’ll get better with time.
