Mastering Trout BFS Casting

When fishing for trout using a baitcasting setup, it's important to master your casting technique to increase your chances of success. Here’s a clear guide on how to effectively cast for trout using BFS. And casting is one of the funnest part of the Trout BFS.

Choose the Right Equipment:
Ensure you have a Trout BFS specific rod and reel suitable for trout BFS fishing, and select an appropriate line and lure.

Check Your Settings:
Before casting, make sure your reel's drag is set correctly, and your brakes are adjusted to prevent backlashing. Proper drag setting is crucial for preventing rod breakage.

Grip the Rod:
Hold the rod firmly with one hand, 2 fingers above the triggre, keeping your finger on the spool for thumbing to control when the line is released.

Positioning:
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, facing your target area. Keep your knees slightly bent for better balance. Dependins on personal preference but generally positioning your casting side foot forward to be 45 degree stance to the target.

Backhand Cast:
There are three types of backhand cast for trout BFS. One is the backhand roll. Rolling the tip section using your wrist and release the line, faster roll for loger distance. Second is the Backhand Snap. Focus on the back snap to quickly load the blank instead of swinging it forward. Your blank recovery is contributing more to the cast than your arm when snapping it back to the forward position. For longer distances, load it harder. Stabilize your wrist during the cast and keep the rod blank straight toward the target to reduce line friction through the guides. Third is the Flip Cast. This require most practice, timing is the key and only focus on the blank load.

Forehand Cast:
Gently push the rod forward in a flicking motion using your wrist. Release your finger from the spool as you reach the peak of the forward motion. Remember to keep your armpit closed and to relax your elbow. Be sure to follow through with your cast. Many moderate action short rod require tiny roll or snap.

Aim for Your Target:
Direct your cast to the desired spot where you expect to find trout, whether it's near structures, shallow areas, or current breaks. Keep your eye on the target until your lure lands. Bright colored PE makes easire to see your cast.

By following these steps, you'll enhance your casting technique and improve your chances of catching trout while using a BFS setup.
