First bass for the season and on my new BFS reel

After a couple of attempts over the last couple of weeks without any hook ups, I decided to try some surface fishing with my new BFS reel and I ended up getting hit 4 times, hooked up 3 times but only landed one fish. After not having any luck on the cicadas, I decided to change to a $6 AliExpress Micro tappy and they couldn't get enough of it

Water is clear or still chocolate?
What's the rod and reel? Show us them shiny stuff!

The water is still brown but it doesn't make much difference for surface fishing. I bought the Dark wolf ultra as you know and also bought a Lingl which I'm still waiting for. I also am waiting on a rod and looking for second rod. I used a 3-6kg rod on the DWU and it casts cicadas equal to my spin reels. I upgraded the bearings and magnets and it casts amazingly far for the baits I will be using. I would say it's more light baitcasting than ultra light but that's the majority of fishing I do. The reel handled the Bass really well, it was probably about 36cm and really solid. Once I get everything I will put up some picks
