Bait Finesse Tricks (BFS) For Summer Bass Fishing!
Bait Finesse is here to stay! The trend of throwing finesse lures on ultralight bait casting equipment instead of spinning rods is sweeping the US! There are plenty of anglers who still enjoy spinning tackle, but the number that are switching over to BFS bait casting setups is staggering!
Since bait finesse is a budding concept in the US market we're taking the time to show you how we adapt these setups to Summer time fishing. From topwater, to underspins, to flukes, you can target bass with a variety of ultralight presentations and have a ton of fun this Summer!
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear discussed in the video. We've included our favorite colors for the lures, as well as some of our favorite rod and reel combos for these techniques. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
