Hi Len,
Buldo Fishing is "similar" to spinning but, with
diferent equipment. Buldo is the name of the
floater, this speciall floater needs to be calibrated with water to gain weight
(from 60gr, up to 160 gr.) but, after being calibrated it still needs to float
(not to sink).
I dont know how is this floater called in
english, in portuguese "b�ia de �gua" or "buldo", in french is "boule d'eau", in
english it should be something like water ball or water floater?? may be someone
may help with the proper name!.
The rod is usualy around 3,60m to 4,20m long for
powerful cast (2 parts, not telescopic). The reel needs to be sturdy with 4:1
ratio (more or less).
The best bait are juvenile or small sardines,
mackerel, mullet, "peixe-rei", etc. When they are not available we use
artificial baits like "rapala". "raglou", etc.
We use this technique to make a long cast (60 to
120 meters) from the shoreline (pier, beach, etc. ) into the surf or the shallow
water of the sand banks outside the beaches. We usually catch surface to
mid-water preadators like sea bass, royal mackerel, tintureira,
etc.
We also use this technique to safelly cast
from a boat into to the dangerous sand banks.
Is this technique common in USA?, it should!, you
are masters producing and using artificail bait.
Happy Holidays
