Rapala X-Light Mid Runner Crank bait review
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.2 месяца назад
A little while back Rapala introduced the X-Light range of lure to their Line-up. These new little finesse lures were a welcome addition to Rapala's range as they not only added finesse options to the range using more modern production technology, but they also did so at a very Angler-Friendly price point! After using the Rapala X-Light Mid runner crank for almost a year for both BFS and light ...
Rapala Ultralight Shad 04 Review

After fishing this teensy version of a venerable classic for a few months I share my experience & opinion on this little lure. 00:00 Intro 00:12 Tech specs 03:13 Underwater testing 04:14 Summary The Rapala Ultralight Shad 04 is a handy little crank for BFS, light and ultralight fishing. I enjoy the action and its ability to run deep, but the split rings leave much to be desired.

Getting up early to test out some new gear on the water. Throwing a very basic but seemingly effective little homemade jig head at Smallmouth and Largemeouth Yellowfish in South Africa's Orange River The weather didn't play along all day, but I had enough time to run my new Purelure Silver Feather in properly and give the Handing MAgic L 602UL a thorough workout. I love playing with new toys.
Handing Blast 8 Review

I've been on the hunt for a solid-performing budget-friendly braided line for a few months now. I've slowly been working my way through all the options on Ali Express. Handing recently offered to send me their offering, Blast 8, an 8-strand, tightly woven and very smooth braided line. In this video, I share my experience in testing this line.

Teeming with life - Yellowfish on the Orange River
Просмотров 1545 месяцев назад
At the end of March 2024 I took a few days to explore a section of the Orange River that hasn't been fished by anyone in years. Comparing my usual spots on days one and two, to the unfished sections on days two and three, it is clear this untapped section of the river is absolutely teeming with life and these fish are HUNGRY! Join me in this longer-than-average video as I explore parts of the N...
Freeing a stuck lure on BFS or Ultralight tackle
Просмотров 4365 месяцев назад
Got my lure stuck this weekend and thought I might as well use the opportunity to make a short video on how I free either my lure or my line without destroying my ultralight tackle. I have learnt the hard way that this is the lowest-risk way of retrieving your lure or, if that isn't possible, as much line as possible. Learn from my mistakes ;-) Remember to use a glove, otherwise, you will end u...

This is the best Rod review I’ve seen. Wow
Can anyone compare this to the dobyns Sierra trout and panfish
Excellent review 👍.. better than any i have seen..no nonsense no STOOOPID RAP OR LOUD BACKGROUND UNNECESSARY SOUNDS OR MUSIC ...just a real informative review to aid the consumer in making a decision 👍..thank u.. only one hang up.. I have yet to see anyone do a review on the spinning rod version ❓❓❓
Thank you for the feedback and kind words. Good to know what I'm doing right. Can't remember that I've seen a spinning version reviewed either, but if they use the same blank, which they are likely to do, I'm sure it would be a solid performing allrounder. I rarely review spinning gear if similar casting rods are available, as I find them more comfortable and fit my tastes a little better. Thanks again!
I love my 6’ and 6’6” version. They’ve handled some big Texas bass.
Qué sedal es el que usas ? Que diámetro?
Another great review. Your vids have saved me a heap of time in terms of research. Thanks for sharing
What a great review. I am in the process of exploring and developing a BFS approach here in Western Australia. Everyone here is fixated on fixed spool reels for light tackle fishing. Baitcasters eliminate line twist and with the amount of casting I do per session this is important. Keep the info coming, it's much appreciated. Thanks for sharing.
1 to 1.5m is what i use for u;tralight salt and hampala. Its not too long or short and worjs perfect for me
Should replace all split rings and the trebles Id use singles
Jano is that an Abu spinning rod? Looks like the same one I caught my PB perch on laat year.
Hi Jacob! It's a Noeby Keen Force Light Fast action 7'6 2-10g. Solid little rod!
Excellent video! Although I already own this rod, I appreciate the thought you put into it with the distance chart and the slow motion on the rod tips loading up. You wouldn’t believe how many people show distance testing different rods/reels without summarizing or screen charts to compare and study. Nice job!
Do you know if replacing the twin treble-hooks with one, single-point hook would compromise the lure's ability to sink?? I'm curious to know if it would change the speed of the sinking movement or completely eliminate the ability to sink.
Shouldn't, but I'll test it out for you this week
@@LightTackleLureAngling Right on, I'd appreciate hearing those findings.
@@Koops2245, Sorry for the delay. Tested out some #8 singles. The UL Shad does indeed still sink with singles in fresh water, but it changes the angle of the lure during the sink. As removing the trebles removes a lot f the middle and rear weight, it sinks nose down with singles. So changes the look of the lure a fair bit during pauses.
@@LightTackleLureAngling Thank you for sharing your experiment data here. You read my mind with the #8 hook size. I'm going to try a solitary single-point #8 hook on mine in a fresh-water stream. Now I'm wondering if one hook is more effective on the belly position or the tail position. More fun little bits of research for me. Cheers.
@@Koops2245 I'd got for tail if I were going with only one single. More likely to get hit on the back, and less likely to snag on the bottom. Would balance out the lip a bit better there too. Won;t hurt to try both and see.
Love that Kayak colour btw. If I even get a pedal kayak I am going to try and get one in that colour :)
The grup at the ebd of the butt, just for those curious the Ryobi Ranmi version just have plain foam and not the metal end cap.
Not friendly price. 20 bucks is expensive knowing you can have 1 ounce rapala or yo zuri lures for less than that-. LIked the gray color. Saw a nice review on another channel. Thanks
Which country are you in, Wildside? Guess they don’t follow the same pricing strategy in your region?Asking as locally, for me, they are less than half the price of “normal” Rapala lures like the smaller X-Rap and Shad Rap. Smaller Rapala lures usually range from $8-12 US here, and the X-Light sells for between $4-5, which is comparatively affordable. Unfortunate hear it is not the same where you are. Thanks for watching, and the engagement. Always interesting to learn pricing from other countries.
I so wish that cranks and minnows worked in my home lake. Sadly they just don’t seem to produce as well as soft plastics for me. Loving the in-depth lure videos though! Cheers jano!
Have you ever considered adding a small piece of tungsten putty to the front. It will make it suspend and allow you to twitch it like an injured bait fish. Great video BTW
Thanks Frank, I haven’t tried that yet, but I’ll give it a go!
Im definitely a natural colour fan also. I actually dont like silver lures but may be forced to try them at this new location where all the salmonods are quite silver. So I guess thats a natural colour in that location haha😂
Nice review jano! Love that disclaimer at the end! 🙌🙌🙌
Great to see you regularly posting Jano, this moght be a lure od be interested in. Small but still fairly deep diving.
Nice review Jano! Love the Rapala ultra light range of lures, makes great BFS lures for sure. The ultra light crank is my favourite!
Great detail review.
Very good review Sir.
New subscriber here. I love your reviews mate! Very detailed and comprehensive. I've had this rod in my cart for a while, but haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. After watching this, I probably will as soon as the next sale starts this coming week. Thank you for this great review!
Josss
Alleged Fuji guides hehe. Remember the printing on the guides is in an unusual position?
It’s a difficult one. They are stamped as Fuji guides and visually look like Fuji guides, but BFS Fishing Channel did note the stamp was on the outside and believes the stamp is usually inside on standard Fuji guides. I am honestly not expert enough to tell the difference between real authentic Fuji Guides and good fake ones. They look real enough to me, when comparing to my Shimano and Daiwa rods with Fuji guides, and with the stamp on there, it’s enough for me. Handing has made an active effort to establish their brand in recent months. I don’t believe a brand will go through the efforts of marketing and building brand presence only to do something silly like lie about a replica component. Something that could be easily refuted. Stranger things have happened, but in this case I am willing to give Handing the benefit of the doubt and accept they are indeed Fuji guides.
Fantastic review! Thorough yet quick and to the point. Good job, I subscribed!
Much appreciated!
Ive been so impressed with the sensitivity and durability of this rod that I own 4 now. 2UL ann 2 L
Amazing review!! I like that you actually show the taper of the rod! That’s something a lot of other RUclipsrs don’t do! Keep up the good work! Can’t wait to see more content like this from your channel
Great review!
Love your video
Nice review! Really appreciate the section with loading of the rod with some weight that you do. Gives a good picture of the action. I have the exact same rod, have had mine for a while but need to use it more!
I have a couple and I agree, they are great little rods.
wow, what a calm and atmospheric morning! Beautiful scenery and a healthy river it looks like!
Waiting to get a moment to watch this all the way through but that looks like an awesome morning Jano!
great session and great scenery. Can't complain with 11 fish
Lovely video mate. Stunning place. Looks like you thoroughly enjoyed yourself. Nice combo you have there
That's because the shorter leader has less stretch and the braid is loading up the rod better + braid travels faster than mono and can cause wind knots as it goes through the guides . Great content 👍
Low diameters is great but where dose it break above or below the line LB rating . I had low diameter mono off AliExpress in the past claiming it's a high Lb low diameter and breaks well below the specified weight sometimes as low a half what's stated on the spool 🤔
The PE 0.6 I tested is rated for 10lb. That is somewhat conservative for a 0.12mm braid, as most PE 0.6 braids are rated for 11-13lb. I'm confident in saying I'm sure it'll do the rated 10lb. When doing the multiple knots for comparison I tensioned them very well. It'll likely do that with knots.
hi - i discovered your channel by accident. i like your in depth reviews. as your newest subscriber hopefully you do not let your low number of subscribers discourage your future efforts. perhaps you should consider rebranding your channel to bfs light tackle lure angling. i think lots of viewers search for bfs in the search bar. keep the great content coming. - eric hillesland
That idea of spooling a little of the fresh braid next to the used line is a great idea to demonstrate the discolouration. Really great video my man.
Yooooo, this video actually popped up in my feed and I didn't know who it was/wasn't subbed. Then I saw it in the group. Spools are very bulky looking, you would think they would want to streamline it. I guess they are using the same spools for the heavy 300yd lines. Kairiki is popular in Australia, probably second to J Braid. I hope handing being out some nicer colour, I have had dark green lines and perhaps they are optimal to reduce visibility to fish but I'd prefer to use long leader and have a more visible and sexier looking line.
Yeah, it would be good to have a few colour options. This was my first muted colour for bfs use, and like you, I prefer to see my braid a little better. On occasion I have spooked fish in clear water with bright line, so having a muted one in the arsenal can be useful. I can see why Kairiki is popular, I’ve been using it for a few years. Almost no fade and very strong for its rating, but like many “American” braids, it’s a little thicker for the same rating. The only negatives I can mention about it is the loose weave. Works well on BFS. Didn’t love it on my spinning reels as the slightly larger diameter costs you distance there.
Hey jano! I really appreciate the in depth analysis and explanation you gave in your review! As far as my measurement of the diameter, I’m not sure how accurate it is as I used digital calipers and that isn’t the most accurate form of measurement as it can slightly crush the braid a bit. PS holy crap nice knots!!! Keep up the awesome/informative reviews my friend!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Thanks for the feedback Peter! Wasn’t sure about The best way to measure. I have a set of digital calipers, but mine are far from accurate on stuff this small. Always appreciate your interaction!
great review. i wonder if i can do ajing with this.
I think the solid tip would do a good job of it. The only aspect of the rod that wouldn't be ideal is it is only a 6' rod, so it's at least 1'2" shorter than most Ajing rod. If you don't need maximum distance, the Delicacy would definitely do the job.
