3 Fish on the Mepps Black Fury | BFS Ultralight Baitcasting

Three solid fish on one classic spinner — the Mepps Black Fury — using pure BFS ultralight baitcasting gear. Average Angler Life keeps it simple on the pond: one lure, light line, and a BFS setup that lets you cast tiny inline spinners with surprising accuracy and distance.

The Black Fury proved once again why it’s a pond staple when the fish are looking up and the water is clear enough to show those flashes. I work the banks, adjust retrieve speed, and let the spinner do the talking. You’ll see the strikes, the hooksets, and the real-time adjustments that turned a quiet stretch into three fish on the board.

Perfect for anyone who loves ultralight baitcasting, BFS setups, or just wants a practical look at how a single Mepps Black Fury can still produce when the conditions are right.

First and Only Fish This Round | BFS Ultralight with a Rooster Tail

First and only fish this round on BFS gear — ultralight baitcasting with an inline Rooster Tail. Average Angler Life keeps it honest: one fish, one lure, one setup that still earned its keep on a quiet pond.

Some sessions are wide open. This one was a grind. I work the bank, keep the blade spinning, and stay with the BFS combo until something finally commits. You’ll see the retrieve, the take, and why light baitcasting still feels worth it even when the pond only gives you one.
