Product Field Test
Field Test Definition
Performance
What we look for in castability varies from model to model.
While load/release timing and recovery rates are important for a good casting rod, the hookup and landing ratio make a unique trout bfs rod that is short in length.
We use measurable indexes for each performance criteria to achieve the goal we set per model.
Components
Guide configuration becomes extremely important for short rod with the steep bend curve.
The load on each guide during a fight is adjusted to optimize the load on each blank section to maximize lifting power while controlling line flutter and frictional resistance to maximize line release for the cast in short length blank.
Fields
All of the locations featured in the video are deliberately chosen to demonstrate the effectiveness of the bfs method on pressured fish in popular fields for the pre-introduction phase.
Wild fish from the lake entering heavily pressured skinny water for migration is the ideal field situation for the real test.
