Picked a pair of Aldebaran BFS and paired them with a couple Dobyns Ultra Finesse rods, September last year. They've been alot of fun and I feel much more in touch with my lure vs spinning. I figured if I enjoyed them, I'd upgrade the rods later, but I see no need as they work just fine for my needs. I say try atleast one BFS.
But the downsizing of gear doesnāt make any sense to me.š
