Out on the water today, I experimented with a fascinating rig setup that really showcased the versatility of lightweight gear. I used a 10g free rig sinker combined with a hook and plastic, totaling 13g, and managed to cast it down to a Dog X Jr. at 6g without needing to adjust my casting technique, achieving spin distances impressively.
The experience was an eye-opener on how effective subtle weight adjustments can be, especially with the anticipation of testing this setup with the new EX. The discussion around the rig's mechanics was enlightening, helping me understand that the weight keeps it grounded while the surface lure floats, providing a unique action in the water.
This setup isn't typical for BFS but aligns closely with the lightweight gear philosophy. It's about finesse, not just throwing heavy weights. As someone primarily targeting bass and often using no more than 7 grams, today’s success was a testament to the capability of lighter setups.
Such moments are a reminder of why our BFS community is invaluable. Sharing these experiences, tips, and innovative setups allows us all to refine our strategies and enjoy our fishing adventures even more.
