Let me first say SORRY.
if you started wrong, doing the wrong thing and doesn’t work as you want or you see from others, it becomes a HYPE. Consistency and fishable distance is successful to have fun of using BFS. Now if you started right successfully catch plenty of fish but it is not your thing at least it is not a HYPE.
BFS to me is excellent for stream fishing where distance is not concerned but more of accuracy. Small farm pond or when kayak, float tube fishing. Have you don’t dock fishing with Baitcaster it is more fun than spinning (I don’t know how to back reel)
