I have a video showing that Kastking IPT values aren’t exactly correct if you’re using them to calculate distance. You’re getting an over estimation of distance by about 13-15% which is pretty significant. If you want to use an IPT value that’s better try calculating the value using the inner diameter of the spool as they use the outer diameter of the spool. It really doesn’t make sense to BFS folks to calculate distance of line by using an IPT value calculated from the outer diameter of the spool since we never get that much line on our spools to begin with unless you have a super shallow spool. Just wanted to clarify this! Cheers!
@@rawrfishing agreed! IPT is an approximation as it is extremely difficult to get an exact value to use to report distance cast. The spool diameter changes as you increase the amount of line added to the spool. The issue is is that kks IPT goes off the consideration that the spool is full to the max capacity of line which gives you a huge overapproximation. It just makes it seem like the reel has cast much further than it really has and this is my concern with their IPT value being used to calculate distance cast.
yes yes yes, i heard that from ya a few times already lol. GIven that I use braid, the change is minor and I feel that it is perfectly fine to use as approximate. Its not like i need to obtain a measurement for some sort of competition. Besides, BFS isn't made for long distances. As long as I feel comfortable with the cast, I am happy with it. I understand some folks like to compare casting distances on different reels, but this is an overbraked reel that is not worthy of my time to do so. Don't shove KK over the cliff brother man. Give them some room to breathe! They are not perfect, but without them, BFS wouldn't been growing as fast on the market as it should be.
@@rawrfishing haha fair enough. I’m not shoving them off any cliffs as well. Just trying to get them to be accountable and up front to their claims as they should. We’re they’re customers and if they’re messing up they should fix things. To their credit, their customer service is top notch. It’s my goal just to keep things as transparent as possible is all! I’m glad they’re making strides forwards and look forward to seeing them making more and more improvements! 🙌🙌🙌
So did you know that KK watches our videos? They are not happy with me right now 😂 . In fact, they told one of my sponsors that I had a fall out with em.. But that's not true as fall out requires a confrontation from the parties... When I denied that, they just flat out said I'm trouble and don't want me to work on the next project they are doing with my sponsor. I came to the conclusion that it must been my recent negative remarks of their bfs products I'm on the same page as you, trying to improve products for the bfs community, but they don't see it that way unfortunately. Thus I used the pushing off the cliff anology. So yeah... Long story short... Don't think KK will wanna work with me again in the near future.. After rewatching some of my videos, I could rephrase some of the things I say to be a much softer, yet still get the point through! Honesty is good! But Im Learning to do it without burning bridges.
I tried and failed bro haha brand new to bait casting and I tried to throw a trout magnet and birdnest got new lines tried again birdnest again lol 😂 sheesh but I’m learning
Depends on what aspect. If u need a super strong braking system... This reel wins. If u wanna cast light lures out of the box, this is it. If you wanna handle heavy lures, zephyr wins
A broken one after one trip. It's already not available in the market as it was a failure from Kastking. So don't worry about it :p. Watch my full videos on my channel for better options
@@rawrfishing Man i wanted this rod to be good because it looks dope! I am thinking to buy the ag venom cast longer rod, kuying teton cast the green longer rod or maybe you know another rod like that that is better for the money?
Nice! You make me wanna get into this type of lure throwing
It's super fun
Me too
How does this compare to the Kestrel? I'm wanting another trout reel. Contemplating an Ark/Haibo at this point.
Same thing. Over braked. I would suggest Haibo since it's available now

I understand what IPT is as its just an estimate. Cheers

Weight of this lure?
my guess is that it is around 2.5-2.7 grams. Plastic is super tiny and the jig is 1/16th oz or 1.7x grams
I know you mentioned the line test. I just couldn't make it out. What pond braided line is the again?
6lb Destron braid from KK
Mntap👍
Thx
I tried and failed bro haha brand new to bait casting and I tried to throw a trout magnet and birdnest got new lines tried again birdnest again lol 😂 sheesh but I’m learning
Lol, it's all good! Let's figure out what is wrong! What's your entire setup?
better than the zephyr?
Depends on what aspect. If u need a super strong braking system... This reel wins. If u wanna cast light lures out of the box, this is it. If you wanna handle heavy lures, zephyr wins
When will we get to see the full video?
Not sure. Baby and I have been sick and I'm behind everything atm
@@rawrfishing sorry to to hear that. Get well soon
I have the same setup (right hand),unfortunately the rod broke when I set the hook on a good bass.
Awww.. It's a shame. Cool lookin rod
What rod is that?
A broken one after one trip. It's already not available in the market as it was a failure from Kastking. So don't worry about it :p. Watch my full videos on my channel for better options
@raWr Fishing well what were the specs I dont rly care abt the rod itself;)
If that's the case, here you go, th-cam.com/video/RQoHAWqCrQU/w-d-xo.html
rod name plis 🤭🙏
It's a broken one! Don't worry about it.
@@rawrfishing thats centron lite right?
Yes, terrible rod.
Cuantos gramos?
Around 2.6 grams
I need this same rod reel please help
Kastking centron lite. Avail on aliexpress
What rod is that?
A failure from Kastking. It got so much bad reviews they took it off the market aleady! Centron lite is the name
@@rawrfishing Man i wanted this rod to be good because it looks dope! I am thinking to buy the ag venom cast longer rod, kuying teton cast the green longer rod or maybe you know another rod like that that is better for the money?
