It's aesthetic glossy green fly rod, medium-fast action. I use it to fish dry flies, wet flies, and nymphs, which are still the three lures that I catch the most fishes. I pair it with Airflo Trout Fly Line, This rod just performs very well with all fly fishing lures except heavy streamers.
I've been fly fishing for over 28 years in the US Rockies, for trout. and have Moonshine, Sage... and found, this is a really nice performing, nice looking rod(I love translucent fiberglass) that performs well with my rods that priced at 2-3X as much.
It's marked as 'Medium Fast' action, in my experience, it's almost same action as my graphite fly rod's 'Medium' action. Paired it with RIO InTouch Gold Fly Line. I will not doubt search other BFS rod from DanKung to take the place of a heavier 6-7weight streamer fly rod.
I qualified as a Certified Casting Instructor (CCI) on 16 June 2017. It took me 19 months practice to pass the exam. Received my 1wt rod several days ago, with the intention of setting it up for small trout fishing. I paired the rod with RIO Fly Lines. I tied on a nymph and tried it at foreyard. I was easily shooting out a distance more than I expected. Very impressed with the ease and distance I was able to cast this setup. For some reason, I was able to feel the rod load better than with just about any other rods(Moonshine etc) I have. It isn't on par with my HARDY rod of 499 dollars, and at its price point, this rod is an great value!
This little glass rod is a well made and a beautiful design. The action of the rod is very soft action at the top of section of the rod, and the back of the rod has good back bone.This rod main design for Flick castingin small bodies of water such as Streams,creeks,canals and small areas in general. Paired with my Alphas air TW with upgraded Hedgehog Studio bearings, I'm able to cast down to .5g jighead with a micro size soft plastic around 30-40ft range and that distance that's more than enough for small areas of fishing.Overall I like this rod and very fun that's what fishing is all about.
I've owned my Lingl for a few weeks I like it so much. trout fishing with it has been alright. Overall this BFS LINGL is closer to JDM performance for much less money. Just the finish is a bit of an issue but for that price I am very satisfied.
This rod is an underrated rod in my book,performs on a high level fiberglass rod and doesn't cost what some of the popular bfs fiberglass rods do,such as Dan Kung's GLASSFIN which is 120+ dollars. the tip part is fiberglass and the handle part is graphite. Excellent flick casting capability. I yesterday landed a tiger trout at a narrow spot with this hybrid rod.
I already have LINGL BFS reel, and I found it this LINGL versatile at Youtube(next to the video by Reel Test). I took a chance on this version. It's as good as the BFS version with higher speed ratio. I mainly use it with Low-stretch line and the fast reel make it easier to hook fish and get them out of water before it becomes stalemate fighting. I am very pleased that DanKung always come up with something new of CDM.
It's Summer here in South Australia. Landed an invasive Asian snakehead with my UL fiberglass rod. This fish weight is nearly double that of the rod breaking strain. Great quality and super fun of fighting!
Love the newest combo so much. particularly the Kuying Teton.
Rod - Kuying Teton TTS-622 UL, line 3lbs
Reel - Shimano Sahara 500
I have an Orvis and a Moonshine that my friends brought me from US. This fiberglass rod feel better. I was astonished by its fiberglass material and fishing experience: nice tippet protection, better for the fish when fighting, medium fast action fits my fishing preference. One of the best rods for the money!
