My findings led me to want to use monofilament line instead of braided line. The rod is quite versatile but for small fish like brook trout, it would not be ideal for. There is a 48UL version that would be better suited for smaller fish.
I also took the Daiwa Silver Creek Glass Progressive out on a lake to catch bass and bluegill. The rod can handle a wide variety of fish and was surprisingly sensitive. There was adequate power on the hookset and controlling fish was easy, yet enjoyable.
The Daiwa Silver Creek Glass Progressive 51LB-G is a new BFS rod from Daiwa Japan. The Silver Creek Glass progressive has a taper fast enough to twitch minnow style lures and still have flex when a fish hits your lure, This versatile blank should be a great option for water that have a variety of sized fish.
BLANK: Blank is made of 33% carbon and 67% ultra high density fiberglass. A mix of carbon and fiberglass for a rod blank is called composite. This composite material is supposed to combine the deep flex and smoothness of fiberglass and the lightweight, responsiveness and sensitivity of carbon. The action of the Silver Creek 51LB-G is faster than other fiberglass blanks but, still has a "progressive" deep taper as force is applied. This should increase accuracy and twitching of minnow style lures.
GUIDES: Fuji Titanium SiC guides for a lightweight rod and smooth casting
REEL SEAT: Daiwa used a traditional wood/metal reel seat for a contemporary look. Unlike most reel seats in this class, Daiwa used a modern tapered trigger to increase comfort and functionality of the reel seat.

Thanks for uploading this high quality fishing video! Showing clearly this rod action in casting and with fish!
Glad you enjoyed it! I think this rod is a very versatile rod. Monofilament should make the rod better suited for small trout.
Thanks for the movie.
I love fiberglass fishing rods.
Regards.
Thank you for watching. Fiberglass fishing rods have came a long way
so professional you are!
Thank you.
Great video (as always) dude! Might be kinda a weird question, but what do you typically have in your backpack when you're out wading? Just ordered myself that 3/1 Caperlan bag setup from Eurotackle to try out, hence my asking. Or even maybe a quick video on what you pack in general for a days trip out fishing and wading? I'd definitely watch that one!
I will definitely do that video. I did one last year but, it was kinda spur of the moment so, wasn't a true "what I pack" type video.
I started fishing with the Smith Multiyouse TRMK-423UL, a nice fiberglass rod for stream fishing. Currently throwing lures with a Daiwa Silver Creek Air TW Stream Custom spooled with Varivas Twitch Master VLS Nylon line. You mentioned most people would prefer using braid on this kind of setup. I don't have much experience with braid lines. Could you please do a video on the pros and cons of the various lines used in BFS stream fishing sometime?
Good video idea! People like braid because it handles well and the soft nature of glass rods benefit from the no stretch braid has.
I’m digging all the rod reviews! Any chance you’ll do some bfs lake rod oriented reviews too? Cheers!
There is a great possibility of that.
@@HobieWanKenobi ultra light bass rods are another area I think might be interesting to review as well!
Hobie, your fishing spots are really stunning. Besides these mosquitos, everything is so inspiring. Don‘t you use some sort of repellents? An absolute necessity for the summer even in Germany. Thanks for entertaining once again!
Haha... repellent kinda works. Sometimes, the bugs don't care. I had some repellent on...which reduced the mosquitos but, not all of them. This was a new area for me to fish. I have many more places to explore this year.
@@HobieWanKenobi can‘t wait to see you exploring :)
@@HobieWanKenobi I feel you on that one... had 100 DEET repellent on on the Au Sable the weekend after memorial weekend and either it hardly worked at all or I would've actually been eaten alive without it lol
@@boikman I thought I was going to be carried away a few times
@@HobieWanKenobi You guys don't have mosquitoes in the UP, you have pterodactyls. I love coming back down state and having 10lb of bug guts plastered all over the car 😂
Nice clip, factual honest critique ,informative and useful. It was really interesting for me as Im currently trying to source more sensitive BFS rod ,specifically for fishing small brownies (twitching minnows) in small streams. I’m using a carbon rod , great accuracy and contact however the fight lacks any excitement, which for me is of paramount importance.Do you know if there are other equivalent glass/ carbon rods out there on the market? .it’s hard to research as most of these seem to originate in Japan. I notice Daiwa have a ‘lighter’ model 46Ul-B …I’m wondering is this a better fit for the specifics for the small brownies I normally encounter on my local streams? Kind Regards… and keep these clips going …they are great…and I really look forward to viewing them …They have really kick started my enthusiasm for BFS style fishing.
If you are after smaller trout about 12in or less, I would get the 48UL. Although I never fished with it, I see it being perfect for that. I usually go after smaller trout too and this rod is a tad more powerful than I would prefer.
Thank you for the kind words!
FYI I ordered and just fished with the lighter 46UL-B and am extremely happy with its performance. Less stiffer than a full carbon but enough to retain contact and maintain accurate casting. Most importantly when I was fortunate enough to catch a brown trout or two the ‘fight’ experience was a lot better than on carbon …the rod bent nicely and I could really sense and experience every tug ,pull and resistance from the trout.

@@stephenryan2296 That does seem like a nice rod. If I didn't have so many UL rods, I would have got it
Hi. Really like your content. Always sharp and informative. Any chance you do Tenryu and/or Smith baitcasting rod reviews ? Keep on the good work 👍
I have footage from last spring with the Tenyu Spectra. I did some pretty raw filming and I haven't got around to editing it. I probably should edit that. I have some higher end glass rods coming today.
@@HobieWanKenobi I think it would be really interesting to get your feed-back on some really high end rods
@@robo2909 Those rods don't come cheap though. I am not monetized on here nor do I spam promotions to get paid so, I choose my reviews carefully
@@HobieWanKenobi And that is exactly what makes your channel so interesting !!
@@robo2909 There are pros and cons to doing it this way. I prefer to still have integrity for the viewers and give them honest opinions vs getting paid for clicks. Don't need social media to pay my bills
Nice test
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
Great video boss, do you think this rod can handle smaller large mouth bass and bluegill? Sadly where I live I don't have trout, but obsessed with everything bfs, mainly use panthermartins and Ned rigs so far
Yes. I took this rod out for bass and panfish. Did quite well and the taper still held decent sized bass pretty good. Sensitivity is good too
Would like to have your knowledge regarding trout length rod choice. The silver creek glass progressive consist of 2 L model. The 4’6 and 5’1. May I ask basis same cast weight, how wide or deep a river decide the 4’6 or a 5’1. And do you have experience with the silver creek stream twitcher. I put a silver creek air tw on a stream twitcher 51LB and a glass progressive 51LB, to be honest the stream twitcher felt more balance and light at the front.
Stream Twitcher has more carbon in the rod, making it lighter and also losing the smooth fiberglass performance as well. I try to go with the longest rod possible (within reason). This gives you more of the blank tonight the fish and also you can manipulate your rod tip more to control your lure.
I see you ultralight brook trout rods are extremely flexible and can manage tiny lightweight lures. Could this setup work to present a fishing fly to the trout at short to medium casting distances?
Definitely not this rod, it isn't light enough. Some of those UL BFS rods can cast "heavier" flies. Takes a capable reel as well
By the way, do you prefer to match this rod with the silver creek air or a heavier metal round reel? At my local tackle shop. I put a millionaire sv tw and the silver creek on the rod. With the silver creek reel, the setup feels very lightweight and with the millionaire, although the setup is heavier but it felt balanced with the tip becoming very light. What’s your thought?
I like either reel on this rod. I prefer low profile reels but, the Conquest BFS looks great on this rod.
It bothers me a bit that it doesnt handle the 3g lure well even though it is rated down to 2g. Have you done any more fishing with 3g lures on that rod? The video seems to only have shown a few cast (on 3g lure) with trouble casting each time. I like the rod and I throw 4g mostly, but I do have some that skirts in the 2.5-3g range so that's a concern. I also see that the silver creek has an "L" and "UL" rod versions so maybe the UL will handle it better as well.
On a longer cast, 3gr minnows are good to cast. The issue is on shorter casts. I do want to try the UL version but, I don't want to add even more redundancy to my lineup 😂.
Could you throw the daiwa steez air on this rod and let me know how it casts…. Contemplating this silver creek progressive model rod for my daiwa steez airZzzz
You will like it. It has a good amount of power along with a soft tip to cushion fights
Bro I’ve put up two big fat zeros running crank baits for the first time trout fishing with my bfs gear! I’ve been fishing about 14hr days the last few hrs I’ll switch to a mini Carolina rig type style of fishing and I catch my limit in the same parts of the stream I’ve fished all day! Could my area trout just not be interested because there heavily pressured with conventional trout baits or am I most likely doing something wrong need your thoughts! Oh and I’ve been using very natural style crank baits no wild colors and my rig set up is you’ll a yellow orange or pink worm maybe-my issue is color selection what do you think?
Could be fishing too fast. Also, can try floating or suspending lures to slow it down too.
@@HobieWanKenobi yah I have ADD that’s probably the problem lol thanks man
@@Jus10worsT Just gotta swap it up
Where did you get that purple rod holder?
It will be available at Bait Finesse Empire very soon. It is called a Jackson Egg Nuts. I will do some content explaining it soon.
good job!👍
Thank you. I appreciate you watching 😊.
@@HobieWanKenobi I’m learning many things from you, so thank you.
Thats why I make videos, to help people out.
May I know what net are u using?
Handy Pak Net Ghost Series
Thanks
Any good as a light crank rod for bass?
Yes!!! I took it out on a lake and tested a range of finesse lures. I used a tiny buzzbait, panfish jigs and small cranks. Cushions decent sized fish quite well.
@@HobieWanKenobi excellent thanks. I’m a braid to leader guy, and tend to fish my light rods over their rating, obviously fighting really good fish off the low end of the rod. What line class do you think I could max this out to?
This rod does well with 0.6goh line (around 10lb braid). The rod has a good mix of give and backbone. The rod will gradually give all the way to the reel seat with force. Kinda crazy how it all works. This rod is rated 2-10gr lures. I fished a 6.2gr lure and it felt great still.
@@HobieWanKenobi thanks heaps! I must look into this one - sounds good.
I was surprised. More power than I expected but, it helps because most of my stream rods are on the lighter side.
What knot do you use for braid to leader?
Alberto most time
Try the FG - yeah it’s fiddly at first, but you’ll get used to it - and it’s TOTALLY worth it. Game changer for me.
The line I am using is thin enough that the Alberto knot works fine. The FG knot is tough to tie 😂.
@@HobieWanKenobi i wouldn’t say it’s tough - though it does take a bit of practice to get right. More beneficial on spinning gear than baitcasting, where there is a noticeable difference in diameter from braid to leader, and if you’re running micro guide trains.
@@mmmbass6068 Thanks for the advice. I will try at the FG again sometime soon
'rated two to ten gram' ,is this rod too versatile rather than being specific ?
Interesting thought you have. Being a fiberglass rod, the weight rating is wide for lures. This is a great attribute of glass. I used a 6.2gr lure on this rod and it felt fine.
@@HobieWanKenobi thank you. That's new knowledge to me. Anglo rod has about 1-5gram lure rating.
@@FocusAndEnjoyCreekFishing Sometimes it is nice to have a versatile rod versus a specific rod. Some of the areas I fish can have 5in brook trout up to 22in brown trout within one cast. I like a specific rod for small streams I know only have trout less than 12in.
@@HobieWanKenobi yes, I agree with you.
When you get a free moment type in…Bfs short rod
The channel will be “Jeram Anglers”
And tell me how this is possible and if it’s practical lol I’ve never seen it before on the tube it just looks like a super crazy bfs style of casting
I like Jeram. Short rods have their advantages but, not for me.
@@HobieWanKenobi you made the blue glass rod you have right or is it custom made from a company? Having a series on making bfs rods would be crazy maybe you could do them this winter? 🙏🏼
@@Jus10worsT I hand made the blue rod.
@@HobieWanKenobi yah we need a series on building your own! There are videos on here showing how to make rods but I can’t find anything on bfs rods have you seen any?
@@Jus10worsT You will see some 😎
can you throw trout magnet with that rod? Thanks!
It wouldn't be ideal. I'd suggest a different rod with a lighter tip for sure.
Thanks, will do!
@@HobieWanKenobi Thank you very mutch... have a nice Weekend.... see you….
Keren
Thank you for watching. It was fun to get out fishing.
How would this rod do with soft plastics?
It does really well. I took it out for panfish lately and it was sensitive with good backbone to set the hook and still cushion the fight well.
Thank you. This week alone you cost me a sc and today this rod. Lol. Both were the last ones on digitaka
😅. I do it out of good faith. Let me know how the new tackle goes.
I will. Thanks. Was waiting on you to be the Guinea pig before I pulled the trigger. Wait was stressful as it had been the last one for the past week. Lol.
