So how does the Kestrel bfs rod compare to the Phenix Classic bfs rod? I have been fishing the Phenix Classic bfs for about 1 year now and just picked up a 2nd last week. I'm interested if the Kestrel compares but would like to get some impute before I wast money on something that just isn't as good.
I know it’s a BFS Rod but I wish the handle was 2” longer. Same design just longer. Yes I own this Rod and love it but that’s my only gripe! Tight lines
BFS is a Reel type. So your comment doesn't really make sense... Using 1/10-5/8oz covers all "Finesse" weight categories for bass fishing lures. Hope this helps.
@@RyanRiggedBFS (Bait Finesse System) is a term coined by Shimano. In reality, it’s now used as a blanket term to describe *lures, reels, and *rods (tackle in general), that fall within a certain weight range. That’s why BFS experts say BFS vs “true” BFS when describing lures/weight ranges, etc...
Thought it said 3/8 first, which is exactly what several as BFS declared rods by Shimano show up 5/8 is definitely over. Power Finesse is more where I'd set that, depending on the action.
Awesome helping the community. Bet they were stoked!
Very!
Awww man look at you helping out the young ones 🥰
Nice job "hooking"the kids up. 👍
Thanks for the tips
Happy to help!
I'm looking at the light 6'9" version for light action bass fishing. Do you think it would be good for small plastics
Yes! Just make sure you're running a lighter line. I use 4lb on mine.
You need a lunker hunt pocket frog for those small ponds and bfs. I run it on 6 lb braid and it is a blast!
Hello. Just wanted to check that rod under pressure. Which model is that? Thinking about buying the 5'9" FL action one. PLease let me know. THanks
Thats a great creek and pond rod. The action is spot on and easy to cast just be safe bank flipping fish with feather lights.

Buying fishing gear is never a waste, we as fisherman test gear so it is part of our routine.

I have 2 of the 6’9” L models and they rip.
Can you post a link to buy that tiny Swimbait please.
Yeah! I belive he only does monthly drops tho

really not a fan of 2 piece rod although the rod does feel nice i hope they make a 6'9 version and 1 piece
I hear the one pc rod is in the work already!

1/10-5/8 oz is NOT bfs 😭😭😭
