BUYER'S GUIDE: BFS (BAIT FINESSE SYSTEM) RODS, REELS, AND TACKLE
Bait Finesse is here to stay! Many anglers are wondering what BFS is for, and how to apply it to their fishing. In today's Buyer's Guide we're covering our favorite BFS rods and the reels for casting ultralight presentations. Then we're looking at some of our favorite baits for this method. If you've not experienced the bait finesse system for ultralight fishing, you're missing out on a lot of fun!
BFS has been around for many years but it took a huge leap into the limelight when Shimano launched their Curado BFS earlier this year. Suddenly, BFS became available to the masses at an affordable price. If you're not familiar with BFS the concept is very simple. Essentially, anything you've ever done with a spinning rod, can now be done with a bait caster, and with even more precision.
Below you'll find links to all the rods, reels, and baits discussed in the video. We've included favorite sizes and colors where applicable to make it as easy as possible for you to find the items you want. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
