Bamboo bait caster??

Maybe you can tip your chironomid with a maggot. I mean it is a bait caster after all.

Maggot…..yuck! Maybe powerbait caster…..(NOT!!)

Anybody can do this on a fly rod Sam…..but on a bamboo baitcaster??!

I just said I could say it, I didn't claim I could cast it. LOL

I don’t know if I can cast it either Sam……it’ll be interesting to say the least! I’ll have to put the just right amount of water in the bobber, hope not to tangle and even more important not to bird’s nest! I must be a gluten for punishment?!

I’m going down a deep dark hole here, I have a bass rod with a bait caster on it, it’s tough to cast a unweighted plastic worm. I think I can get it out 15 feet. Enough to work the lillipads.

I really admire your creativity with bamboo rods Steve.

Thanks Sam…..bamboo baitcasters of Burien! Time will tell how much it gets fished or collects dust.

Just got back from Angle Lake…..practice casting because it’s four miles from home with a nice low dock…..and no fish to bother me! With the casting bobber half full of water, a big swivel and two flies I was able to cast 45’ and not too many fly tangles. Good enough but….man that bobber splashes down like a two pound trout! My orange acrylic paint lasted about three minutes before it came off…..different paint next time. All systems go…..it just might work! To be continued……

Just bought these smaller bobbers….two for 99 cents! 1” instead of 2” should make a smaller trout splash…..heading to the paint booth now.

So Dennis, have you cast any baitcasters?

I blew the dust off the baitcaster today….got one and missed a couple on the bobber with a chironomid/micro leech! Casting the BFS large arbor light line is fun!
