Been using this rod for the last two weeks. LOVE IT! Bass fights are so fun with BFS. Caught about 15 bass with it so far and I'm buying another Dobyns BFS for my dedicated soft bait BFS setup.
Glad you are enjoying the rod. Took it out today and landed a few woot!
Can you detect every bite with this rod?
@@youngn3237 its definitely VERY sensitive. On the non-bfs side, the sensitivity is on par with the GLoomis NRX+. All i use for bottom presentation baits.
Got one on the way and pairing it up with the aldebaran bfs. Hopefully it won’t disappoint 🤞
Dobyns Rods are great rods; I have two models made for using Big Swimbaits. I think you will like using the one you have. Long rods work great, they just are difficult to transport and store.
pretty happy with this one so far! i have no problems transporting this one right now. at least in my car that is. but i ride solo, i can see that if i take a fishing buddy with me.. accidents may happen... But my frogging rods are 7'6" and so far no problems yet :)
On the side note, what sort of big swimbaits do you throw?
Jimbo,
1/16 and 1/8 lures have caught some of my largest bass both small mouth and large mouth out of a very large reservoir. I like all of your recommendations especially the Jika rig, like you I make my own in very light weights, in fact my two largest bass came on light weight Jika’s. This rod seems perfect, def on my wish list.
I think 1/16th oz is also something i use mostly for all my fishing. none of my waters are deep, so it's usually light tackle! I think this would be a fun rod for everyone who loves bass fishing with finesse lures :) glad you love the jika! I hardly portray it enough since I feel that most of my super fishing spots could get exposed lol! but i'll be hitting up some smallie streams with the jika this year and hope to bring jika rig back into the limelight!
Nice review. Hoping this comes in stock soon.
not really a review, just cast testing! But i do intend on talking about the rod later this season!
Thx for watching. YOu can likely get it with Bait Finesse Empire as they drop ship with Dobyns directly!
I have the 700C and love it. Have it paired with a Daiwa Pixy 68 SPR and yo zuri hybrid
Sweet man! Most ppl gotten the 7 ft one so I had to be the odd ball and nab the longer one lol
Just purchased my 700c for my scorpion BFS. Can't wait!!!
Nice! Back in stock i see!
@@rawrfishing they’re not yet. I found a dealer who happened to have just this one left in stock.
Awesome fishing jimbo
thx my man
The 0 powers have a solid tip and the 1 powers have a regular hollow tip. What are the differences, pros and cons of each tip?
Solid tips are more softer/flexible. good for presentation where you don't wanna rip a lure out of a fish mouth or if they hit a lure and you don't want them to feel the tension. hollow/tubular are stiffer and more sensitive. great for the bottom contact fishing and hooksets
@@rawrfishing Ok, thanks 👍
Great vid. Definitely colder there than here. Single piece rods are a pain to transport.
Thx! Its so far been okay for me... but thin long rods are scary lol
I want that rod so bad 😍
Keep those eyes peeled! I am sure discount tackle will get it restocked soon too!
Fish the same lures with braid 0.06 till 0.10mm, no memory problem less backlash flufing cast further away more sensitiv easy to fix overrun/birdnests. Good drag / rod compensate fluor and mono catch big Perch Zander Pike on 2 till 12 grams rod. It stays personel choice but I need sometimes more distance in the waters I fish. Nice luvly video about this great hobby 👍🇳🇱👍
I totally can relate! I used to kayak a lot but with the baby, I find myself fishing the banks more often as it requires less work. And that means I need more distance too now! Lol
Great to fish by boat, but also lot of work 👊 now Pick up my bag the net, last week bought Poison Adrena Bfs it weight almost nothing and pair it with the Aldebaran XG BFS works fine 🇳🇱 😎 🇳🇱
@@richarddeboer8934 one day! When I can finally make enough a month on ads lol. Right now it doesn't even cover all tackle I get a month, gas, food and drinks for fishing trips. The rest goes to diaper funds 😂🤣😅. Enjoy the awesome new rod
Its Your line Dude!...line makes a huge difference throwing lite stuff with a Bait caster
With a Light Medium Lite rod that's true fast action you have to adjust your cast to load the tip, not try to have a lite lure load up more of the rod if that makes any sense. but that lines trash dude...lol
different braking systems, rod action/power/taper, line, air resistance of whats cast all make more of a difference the lower in weight you go.
Thanks for the preview I have a 7' model coming. Going to use it for neds, larger tube jigs, swim baits and smaller chatter and spinner baits from my yak.
keep the vids coming dude. making my winter more bearable!
Totally agree and which is why I stated I will no longer use this line in the future! Those memory will make it cast light lures with difficulties
Have always found the Aldebaran's sweet spot to be from 4 to 4.25 on the brakes. The rod looks to be a true BFS rod, in other words a finesse bass rod. Unfortunately it's hard to see the bend when filmed with the wide angle of a GoPro.
my sweet spot is 3.75 to 4 with the extra magnets on. I think if i do soft short range casting with no whipping, i can cast it at 3 or even 2.5 via side casting. very awesome reel! Yes it's a true BFS rod indeed! But I am more of a panfish/trout BFS angler. so this new rod gonna change the way i fish this season! I think i'll definitely go back to some more bass fishing. leave the snakeheads alone for a while ya? lol
Would you recommend this rod over the 7’0 model and if you bought again would it buy the 7’0 or 7’4?
As a kayak angler i will opt for the longer one, but 7 ft isn't short and also fall In range for what i like. So it wouldn't matter to me.
@@rawrfishing awesome I got the 7’4 I’ll be fishing from a boat so I don’t think it will matter. I appreciate all you do for BFS!
@@solidrockoutdoors np man! Enjoy the rod and My pleasure!
I just ordered a kastking king zephyr and I was wondering what rod would pair up nicely with it. I’m trying to decide between the dobyns sierra and the basspro shops carbonlite 2.0 medium light. Thoughts?
oh cool man! Hmm.. well it really depends on what u planning to throw. A BFS reel can behave totally different with a different rod or even line! So let's start with what you wanna throw. Believe me, you will later buy several BFS rods and Reels to cover all your techniques lol. I bring 2 BFS rods on my kayak plus one bigger rod for heavy cover. one UL BFS and more of a Bass L tackle bfs. so yeah let's figure which one will work best for you! tell me what are planning to fish for mainly and what weight lures
@@rawrfishing Thanks. I fish mostly for pan fish and bass in small ponds. So I would be throwing a rocket bobber with small ice fishing jigs, 3 inch weightless senkos, 1/8 oz jigheads with a 2.5 inch paddle tail swimbait, drop shots, neko rigs, etc...
so if your going to throw things at 3 grams and up, I think the sierra might be over kill for the panfish. bass would definitely be better, especially with weedless lures, but that is a huge difference in price between that and the BPS rod. if this is your first setup, i think you should get the BPS. it will encompass everything you are doing. You would be limiting to yourself with a high end rod as those are more technique specific, at least that's how i view my sierra vs my other rods. Cheeers and welcome to BFS fishing!
@@rawrfishing thank you
I’m between the Dobyns SUF 691C and the Jenko double down for bass bfs. Any thoughts?
The Double Down is a ML rod that have a moderate bend. Good for open hooks and trebles. It won't go down to 1/80th, but can still throw 1/16th Oz, which is insane. The suf 691 is a fast tip rod. So depending on the lures you use, definitely two different rods for different techniques
@@rawrfishing mainly looking for a dedicated ned setup maybe some small treble baits but mostly ned or light trigs
I would use a stiffer rod for Ned's and Texas rig. Trebles would do better with a rod that can bend.
@@rawrfishing one stiffer than the Dobyns? Any suggestions in that price point. Pairing with a slx bfs
@@Swillie_Nelson well that should be fine, but note the upper limit is 5/16th or a bit over 1/4th oz. So look into the plastics and hook thickness before committing. I would go to a ML power rod for standard size Neds, especially weedless rigging
what's the weight on this rod. I've been using my triza aello bfs rod. with reel, line and lure it came in at 8.5 oz. weight isn't the biggest deciding factor but my shoulders are burnt out after work so bfs is fun for me to dish without tearing up my shoulders.
approximately 3.9 oz per my scale stood up with the tag on
@@rawrfishing that's not bad. kind of a longer rod for bfs imo but I use it to fish smaller rivers and stuff like that. thanks for the input. after having it for a whole now how do you like it?
It's more of a bass bfs. Bfs is pretty broad. Just a fancy term from shimano for finesse BC reels. This is more of a bass bfs rod than trout. I have not targeted strictly bass for a while, so this will be a good change of pace from the banks ^_^. So far this was the first trip focused on using just this rod lol. Good so far? Need better line!
@@rawrfishing I really really like the diawa samurai fluro. I use 6lb max on mine works very well. on the expensive side of line but you get 220 yds on a spool I believe
braided line can certainly get pricey. so many out there too! glad there are ton of reviews on social media!
Isn't the new slx bfs baitcaster coming out soon?
Yep! 207 at japantackle.com pre-order. Its a bit hefty for an slx line up. Gonna order it but not too happy with the price like most folks
@@rawrfishing Ever fish the beams.xpan telescopic rod for BFS?
nah, i am not a fan of telescopic rods. plus those are expensive LOL.
Do you think this rod and reel would be good for lighter multi-species? I do a lot of creek fishing and I don't really focus on any particular fish. If it bites, I'm happy to catch it. I throw 1/16oz a lot, but I'd also like the capability to throw 1/32oz jigs and soft plastics. I've read that the Sierra BFS does a good job even with lures below the 1gram rating, but it would be an expensive purchase to be disappointed with.
I'm also on the fence between the Alphas Air and the Aldebaran. What would you suggest? I throw jigs and plastics as much as I throw small chatterbaits and jerkbaits. Thanks!
I don't think this specific one is good for that as it's too stiff and long. This is more of a bass UL rod, American style. I would shoot for the Tsurinoya Dragon. Whether it's the Dragon or dragon 2, the rods are gonna suit you better. The Dragon 2 are stiffer and not a replacement of 1.
In regards to reels, I have been a major fan of the alphas air tw or the gekkabijin. I am assuming the Chatterbait Flashback Mini 1/16 or 1/8th Oz?
@@rawrfishing Yes, I really love the flashback in 1/16oz. I looked at the Dragon rods but I saw them rated for something like 2grams on the low end. I know that with a soft plastic, a 1/32oz bait comes out to more like 1/20 or something like that, but that's still at around a gram. I was strongly considering the Dexterity II but I feel like I'd enjoy a rod with just a tad more backbone.
@@DanielSmith_19 did u look at the UL side? I have the C602UL and I am throwing half gram even tho it's rated down to 1 gram :)
@@rawrfishing I'm pretty sure I was looking at the UL one but I could definitely have been wrong haha. It's good to hear that the lower rating isn't a limit. I stick to the recommended lure weights on the high end pretty religiously so I don't damage rod blanks, especially on my ultralight setups (I only have spinning setups though). But if I can throw lighter, that's good. Thanks for all the info!!!
I got the 7’ and the tip is so thin. Anyway, woulda like to see how it throws wacky for you.
Great work man
Thx man! Not sure if I will throw wacky rigs as I don't like that rig. Lol... but we shall see ;)
@@rawrfishing I just heard you were involved with the zephyr development. That’s totally epic, I’ve got one arriving tomorrow...totally stoked about it.
Anyone stocking these? every vendor I’ve tried is “out of stock”
Those out of stock should change soon!
you can order direct from Dobyns , they are in stock
You may not throw 1/16 oz for bass, but I throw 1/32 for giant rock bass, and some smallies.
My favorite 1/16 oz is the z man flash back mini.
I like the flashback mini too!
