A lot of discussion goes in to the reels but not enough guys talk about BFS rods and how to build up having 2 or 3 combos for small jerkbaits, crankbaits and jig rods. I think you should look at that kind of content. I’m in need of these types of rods.

This is the first time I’ve seen Kast King rods ? Last year I bought 2 Kast King 5000 series spinning reels I love those reels I will for sure be looking into their rods ! I mostly catfish

Got this paired up with the new slx 25 bfs 👍👍👍

Thanks for this review. I have this rod and have an elf tsurinoya on mine. I did a short review on it. It can cast the trout magnet but it is not the best from what I can tell. I think is good for 1/32 and heavier lures, that are jig type or faster action use. This is still an early assumption from my part, I am a spinner Ultralight user getting into bfs.

Thanks for the review. I picked up two of three options and look forward to trying them with the zephyr reels.

Have this rod with a Nako Flight feather reel. It's an absolute joy for walking a stream with just a couple Mule fishing plastics in your pocket. You're right that the tip is stiff, and it does help with working the bait in the water. You can compensate for it a bit when casting by just leaving more line out.

Unrelated note: the parts of the video without the background "music" are 100X better than where you added it. EDM cymbals are just annoying when you're trying to watch a peaceful creek and hear what you're saying.

I just got the FL 5'9 and UL 6'3 ....very stiff and very fast action. They are very nice to use....I was very surprised by the extra punch and distance with the UL vs the FL...I wont be fishing 1/32...so, I am very pleased with them. I got the combo...it's my first time using a bait caster and these seem to be very forgiving of my beginner clumsiness.

Hows the durability? It looks like its clear coated, so that should help. Compared to the daiwa presso, do you think its more durable? Those two rods seem to be quite similar.

I know this is a review for the KastKing rod review, but if money is no option, what would be the best trout magnet bfs rod? Reel?

[patrickacox]

I have the reel but not the rod. Nice review.

[zachsnodgress]

Would this be a good rod for bass finesse fishing

[leepao]

The fish in Florida footage is not Talapia; it's a Mayan Cichlid

[lostmechanic]

Nice looking rod! Gonna have to pick one up. All the casting models sold out

[timb]

How does this compare to the Mallvos Plum?

[tagg]

do you think the kestrel is worth the $200 price point? i fished the zephyr very hard, i put that thing through the ringer for a year or two. was really disappointed with its quality and spool tensioner. had alot of issues and it gunked up very quickly. spool tensioner adjustment was really bad, goes from 0 to 100 in a less than a single click, making it unable to cast light lures effectively, and the brakes were okay, but it isnt worth 80 bucks to me. imo, the zephyr fishes like its a 30 dollar generic reel. kast king did the bfs market dirty with the zephyr, but is their kestrel worth spending $120 more for something thats actually functional?

Привет мой друг уже довольно давно видел у тебя видео о удилище crony, и больше небыло контента с етим удилищем, хотелось бы его увидеть в твоих видео на водоёме, спасибо за хороший контент👍

[Obsessed.Anglers]

Best bfs rod for $100? Need a new bfs rod for trout and bass, Just broke my Magic L boat flipping a nice trout and high sticked it :(

[abelabner]

My friend, That FL fish was a Mayan Cichlid AKA "atomic sunfish" invasive species running rampant in FL ecosystem.

So many false teachers. So many pastors wanting to hear themselves preach more than spreading the Good News.
