Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 12. 2023
- Bait Finesse is here to stay!! If you're wondering what BFS is for and how to do it, you aren't alone! In today's Buyer's Guide we're covering our favorite BFS baits, rods and reels for casting ultralight presentations with casting gear. If you're not familiar with BFS, anything you've ever done with a spinning rod can now be done with a bait caster, and with even more precision. Plus, it's a lot of fun!
BFS has been around for decades but has exploded into the US Market in the last 2 years. The arrival of the Shimano Curado BFS Reel, now followed by many others, has opened the door for a wave of anglers to experience BFS without paying outrageous prices for high end JDM rod and reel imports. If you've ever been curious about this incredible way of fishing, now is the time!
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.

I just love watching you guys. It's like going over to one of your favorite friends house and they welcome you. And the way Matt waves at the beginning, I love it! Thank you guys always for the insightful information and sharing your techniques to make us all better Anglers.
BFS has changed my view on fishing so much. Brought me to appreciate small game and love the sport even more. Those 1/4-1/2 pound largemouth have me grinning ear to ear. When I hook onto a 3 pounder, that’s when BFS shines for me because the fight is unreal
100%. The fights are excellent, if you wanna watch me fight some big Texas fish on BFS here’s a playlist. Good luck out there man!

BFS fishing has reinvigorated my love of bass fishing this year. I haven't touched a spinning setup in months.
Mine too! I love it. Check out some of my Texas bfs edits if you want too! Have fun out there man

Windy and "cold" in my area of Florida today, so it looks like a coffee-and-TB start to my day. Thanks so much for doing these Buyers Guides, and good luck to those heading out to have a go at the bass today. Have a great Wednesday, everyone!
Coffee done now time to watch. By 12 it’s hot again over here in Miami 😂
Middle TN… Cold but not freezing…Windy but not a hurricane…. Bass Forecast App rates the day at 1.8 out of 10…. I’M GOING FOR IT 🎉
@@rconner4053 GO FOR IT. HAPPY FISHING AND TIGHT LINES 🎣
@@rconner4053 Good luck out there!
😆 wtf too cold to fish in Florida? You guys are spoiled with your 10+ pound bass and year round open water! 😂
Yeah I'm a little jealous....
Just got my first BFS setup last week. This is the video I've been waiting for! Thank you both for all that you do!!! ❤
It’s all I do man! Check out some of my edits if you wanna watch some BFS bass content in Texas. You’re gonna love it!

Thanks to your bfs videos I've switched over to bfs fishing. The ponds I fish are extremely pressured and this had made my life worth living! Thank you!
If you wanna watch me catch some big pressured Texas bass here’s a playlist! I hit some ponds and creeks too. It’s a blast man I’m glad you’re enjoying it.

I bit the bullet last year after watching your videos and how enthusiastic you both were an I have to say I think I used the BFS gear more than anything last year. Small fish are fun but you are spot on when you catch 3-4 lb. bass it can handle it and you are like a kid. Best thing I have purchased and with no doubt the Shimano Curado is nothing but spectacular
. I have had Daiwa baitcasters for most of my life and Shimano spinning reels but after this last purchase I have to say it opened my eyes. Whatever your preference BFS is going to change the way you fish at times.
Thanks again Matt and Tim for another extensive gear and tackle review!
I laugh because all of this BFS is what I did my entire life trout and panfish fishing. I just got into bass fishing in the last 8 years and have tried to put down the spinning tackle and get bait casting reels and tackle. So I feel like I am going one direction and now everyone else is going in the other direction. LOL Thank you guys for all you do.
Just got into bfs and love it! Bought the Shimano bfs and paired it w the 6th sense movement. The movement has a thicker base so when throwing bfs it feels more like throwing a normal size rod. It’s Under $150 and it works amazing. For us budget conscious it’s a great rod.
This is the one I’ve been waiting on!
i remember 20 yrs ago i got a finesse tuned calcutta 50.i used it in a kind of bfs siyuation .now,all these bfs reels and such are amazing
I use a Phenix Classic BFS rod with an Aldebaran and I love this combo. It can do treble hook baits and bottom contact baits well. It's not a good option for BFS pitching because it can't really turn a fish like a Curado rod can. I've had bigger fish bury themselves in grass before I could pull them out. I catch trout and crappie with it too.
Thank you Tim and Matt ,that was AWESOME 👏👏❤️
Thanks Ken!
Had a conversation with a guy in customer service at TW the other day and he said the sale has been a complete disaster this year and they will definitely be going back to the normal sale next year 😅😅
Yea not a fan of this method
The weekly format is not the greatest but if the deals were actually hot I'd buy.
@@beef1541 biggest problem is you can’t even see the deal until AFTER you’ve checked out. So if you don’t like it then you have to cancel your order before it ships 😂🤡
whoever pushed that though is definitely getting fired. I spent so much money last year on sales and haven’t spent a dime this year. and the way they’ve set it all up is confusing. you can’t tell what’s clearance and what’s a Black Friday deal. terrible decision
I refuse to add up how much I spent on TW black Friday sales in the past but this year was $0. Crazy how badly they missed with this.
I’ve recently fell down this hole!! Thank y’all for doing this video!! I take y’all’s recommendations seriously as much as y’all fish! I’m even doing it inshore saltwater fishing!👊🏼
We've done some of that recently as well! Creek fishing for reds on BFS is amazing!!!
I ended my open water season up here in Michigan with a new PB 6.08lb smallmouth on my Dobyns 740c/Curado BFS, talk about ending the season with a bang! Was throwing the Tactical Finesse Underspin but it was super calm & glassy & I kept getting followers & short strikes, so I switched to the Guppy Head with the 2.8" Keitech & 2 casts later was hooked up with the ride of my life! That feeling when you make an adjustment & it pays off! "I AM THE SMARTEST MAN ALIVE!" 🤣😭
so funny to see how excited Matt is to talk about this coming from his background. Little story, following this same line of logic regarding smaller presentations: On a particular smallmouth lake guys loved to throw a jig with a trailer, I discovered a certain tungsten jig and certain trailer combination that downsized my presentation from what everyone else was using and it was like fishing a new lake. All the places the fish where used to seeing 3/8-1/2oz jigs and a full size trailer. I would throw a 1/4 oz tungsten jig with a 3 inch trailer and yes, when you got bit it was different kind of bite than what was typical with a larger jig. Blew my mind that year. Also size was not an issue, caught way more fish and that included way more larger fish as well. Plenty of 4-5# smallmouth on the boat.
Never been first to a video! Also I didn’t see you mention this but the Booyah pond magic spinner bait on BFS is a fantastic bait
Ive converted my whole program to bait finesse combos and I have just downsized all my presentations to under 3” for my my topwaters, cranks, jerks, swimbaits, chatterbaits, and jigs and the results I’ve seen fishing in pressured lakes in north Texas have amazed me! It’s a wild thing to see 6-8 lb bass eat baits under 2” like a rapala ultralight crank or 1/16th oz jig. Y’all killed it here, the duo baits slay and that shad 57 MR jerkbait is my favorite winter jerkbait. I think the bfs griffons are amazing, but the best really small crank I’ve thrown that can go a little deeper even and out produce the griffin here is the rapala ultralight cranks. Also if I can add a couple categories here, tiny jigs like a keitech, moondog, or Jackson spin jigs are soooo lethal around the prespawn, I throw 1/16th oz size and it’s what I use with say a 2”eurotackle b vibe or metacraw to replace ned rig fishing and the quality you can catch on the small jigs is similar to a big one on the right body of water. Micro chatterbaits and flashback size chatterbaits are also a bait I think can draw a bite like a little crank when nothing else will work. And I’ve had a blast this year with tiny glidebaits like the era baits tiny glide and jackall baby giron, gancraft makes a size 70 one too. It’s amazing big fish are drawn to the under 3” glides just like bigger ones. You can still get the kastking zephyrs for 74 bucks on Amazon, but my favorite reel is the TSU dark wolf for budget options, and that dobyns Sierra especially the 701c Can do it all for me. Y’all got me into this 2 years ago and it’s been a blast ever since then thanks! Check out some of my edits if you wanna see some big Texas bass caught on ultralight casting gear 🤘🏽

GM guys! Love this topic! I have been throwing Eurotackle cranks, poppers and jerkbaits on my BFS setup since I bought it a couple years ago. Already had the stuff for my ultralight spinning. Those lures I use for everything from bass to crappie to trout. They kill!
Eurotackle b vibes kill on jigs! And the z popper is killer too. I like the colors on their z cranks too! Check me out if you like bait finesse stuff
czcams.com/play/PLnmUu379ijM5tkIyx3ATdEWO552lECakT.html&si=W7wLWkoSr-WUI3nm
The Metacraws kill
You guys are making a difference in the BFS niche. Thanks for your investment. Keep on making these rich videos!
I have enjoyed BFS for speck fishing by throwing light bettle spins, road runners, etc. But I’ve actually upsized to very large baits for bass and are catching quality fish now. Less bites, but 5+ bass when I get a bite. The BFS is really fun too.
Another great combo for someone looking for a budget option is the bass pro crappie max pro rod it’s 6’ and can cast 1/16-1/4 like it’s nothing paired with a kastking zephyr it works great
Zephyr and dark wolfs are all I have and love them. Kastking makes a good 3 piece kestrel bfs rod that’s pretty cheap too. Check me out if you like bfs stuff man, I fish out of Texas 🤘🏽
czcams.com/play/PLnmUu379ijM5tkIyx3ATdEWO552lECakT.html&si=W7wLWkoSr-WUI3nm
Love my Dobyns sierra SUF 700c with a daiwa alphas air, excellent setup.
Glad to see bfs expanding. Have been for over 30 years .love throwing a zarra puppy on a eagle claw Featherlite 4ft 10in light paired with a bps pro finnesse light with 6lb mono
You know Gregg 💪🏽
@@clintonbruning thanks man .I purchased another eagle claw Featherlite for the zephyr but not pleased .went and got a sougayilang 6ft ul rod and that slings that 1/16oz flashback much better .the guides on the new ec are ghetto. Totally different from the o.g. rod
I got into BFS a couple of yrs ago cause I wanted to throw smaller crank baits and not have to deal with line twists and I now have 8 BFS combos. I've caught a 6 lbs trout, a 6 lbs striper and about a 3 lbs bass this year so it's not just for small fish. This system definitely takes fishing fun a few notches up. I even caught one on a tiny Papinka frog.
Wet poop… you know 😁
@@clintonbruning thanks to you bro. If I had not seen you slaying those bass with these small frogs I would have never thought you could frog with BFS.
My favorite BFS combo is my 2022 model Aldebaran BFS ( way less expensive than the 2023 model ) paired with the Dobyns ultralight rod. Light as a feather and I can cast all but the smallest trout magnets with it.
The bfs topwater game is an absolute blast.
Great stuff, fellas. FYI, you have the Macbeth 39 linked to the Macbeth 63.
BFS yes!! Gear is smaller I’ll forsure save some mon- oh
No lies told. BFS baits catch everything in the water, especially Megabass lineup.
I know its only jdm at the moment but i love the diawa alphas air tw its my favorite bfs reel
Yay!!! Hey guys
That rhythm wag is money on the Core tackle hover rig
The damiki disco pop is awesome
Always good stuff fellas! How about a foreign BFS review like the Ultra Wolf variants or the JDM Daiwa offerings?
Id like that too
Matt I will have to try that rythm wag,Im on that same bite with the 3.5 do live stick.However i do like the 8mm faceted red glass bead on that setup.
Just FYI I did find the budget bfs reel that kast king makes on tackle warehouse last month. Its the zephyr. Love it
I’m late, I know, but I had to find this post. I just recently purchased the Curado BFS paired with Dobyns. I’ve been hearing you guys rave about the Cashion Icon series, so I made an impulse buy. Lucky me, my jerkbait rod broke yesterday. I paired that reel I had, Tatula SV TW70 with Cashion rod. Let me say that it’s almost like a BFS but also a standard combo. If you guys haven’t tried that combo out, please do…it’s such an amazing combo. Happy New Year. Thanks for the content
That sounds like a great pairing. We own both, will definitely give it a try 👍🏼
By the way guys. The Kastking Zephyr BFS is still for sale on their website and Amazon
Got a curado bfs reel and a cashion rod. I’ve fallen in love with the karashi for the large creek I fish regularly. Throw it in current and let it sink a second or two. Then I “walk” it in that mid water column while it’s carried by the current, gets crushed. I like to cut the feather down or just swap out for size 12 owner st36
Loving all the BFS content! -- I am so grateful to have these videos as a resource. -- I was wondering if you would recommend using BFS gear in fishing tournament settings? --- I fish MLF BFL & MLF Toyota Series events as a Co-Angler. -- Many times as a Co-Angler fishing downsized finesse baits is the only way to get bites and land fish. --- Would you recommend using BFS gear in tournaments? -- I fear the lighter line could be a problem with landing fish, but I would love to fish a Karashi over the top of hydrilla beds or on flats, and I think some of the smaller jerkbaits and even micro-chatterbaits could get bites that typical sized tackle wouldn't produce from the back of the boat. --- Any thoughts would be awesome....with being limited to 6 or so rods I am interested in possibly bringing a few bfs rigs soon. -- Thank yall for the incredible videos and content! -Tres -- Texas
Can you guys come do a show on Lake Mead. It's one of the hardest lakes to fish and humbles pros. Would love to gain knowledge and insight on this mysterious body of water.
I know you don't have time but look to Japan for those micro soft plastics. Also I'm not sure if they are still made but Lucky Craft and Yo Zuri made/make some micro poppers. Great video.
Good morning fellas
The Dobyns and Cashion have micro guides. Have you had any issues running the braid to flour connection knot through the guides?
Thanks for another great video gentleman.
The best baits I have found is Mule fishing jack worm . all there stuff is top quality. And Euro tackle crank baits top notch but a spinning rod is best for me 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Been BFS fishing since 2015
I can't decide if I should be throwing 8 lb fluorocarbon or Braid to a leader. I have 15 lb braid to 10 lb leader but now I'm second guessing it. I haven't thrown it yet and I have never had a braid to leader set up before. I'll be using a Shimano Curado BFS paired to an Irod Britts finesse rod (IRG742C)
Alright you guys have sold me on Bfs! I’m gonna pick up a combo and give it a try. I have so many rods already, I wish there was 1 Bfs rod I could pick up that would fish bottom contact baits and reaction baits on the same rod. I’m sure that’s probably not an option though
I use a diawa spinmatic d trolling rod for the described technique. It's a 7ft casting and I use it for 2.5 yamatanuki and 1/16 to 1/8 oz bitsy bugs also same oz spinnerbaits.its $44 at fish usa.
We offer a 2.5” Fluke style bait which is a perfect down sized fluke . Use a 1/0 hook or nose hook it with an insert weight and it gets a lotta bites
No Mojo Rigs? Did I miss it? A couple of years ago I found a my last 30 year old bag of clear blue and brown original Merlo worms. the kind that looked like a 1.5" sluggo except you fished them upside down, nose hooked. mini Carolina rig using 1/8 lead in-line spinner bodies for the sinker. they worked so well still. I had kept 6 bags for as long as i could. and I remembered being upset when i lost it because it was the best color. lol
Love how you make walking a bait on spinning gear like something that is impossible. I literally do it all the time. And I find it easier to walk a bait on spinning.
Some folks prefer baitcasting. It's like they said, you can go down to stuff usually reserved for spinning gear but not change your cast or the cadence of your retrieve. Plus you retain the accuracy and speed of a baitcast reel and jack the fun factor off the charts.
Spinning tackle is pretty much what kids graduate to from spincast reels until they've gained the skill and dexterity to handle a baitcaster. In short...spinning gear is just plain boring. 🤷🏼♂️
Can you guys do a video on BFS line choices for different techniques? I’m a little confused which strength line to go, when to use braid vs fluoro, how long of a leader to use, etc. What is the best universal setup? I’m using 10lb braid on my Curado BFS now. What techniques to use straight braid vs techniques that need to have a 6lb fluoro leader for example?
I can't provide the same level of advice but I do have a little insight. Visibility plays a big part in what choice you make. If you're in super clear water, flouro or a flouro leader is probably the way. If you're in stained water, it's not as critical. You can run straight braid.
I know you guys are sunline guys I’m a seaguar guy but that daiwa samurai reg flouro might be the best out there
Never change your intro
Would you guys be able to outline which of those rods are better for say, treble hook baits and which is better for single hook like a swimbait or micro jig.
Can you upsize hooks on the wopper plopper 60? I just caught one about 7 lbs on my bfs setup u recommended. Was using curado bfs snd cashion 6 10 medium light. Was awesome.
Love the BFS craze! However, I get annoyed with the notion that it was developed as just a "more fun way to catch average-size fish." ... BFS was developed as a more dialed way of fishing ultra-small hard baits for fish that are keyed in on small baitfish. Not because it was more fun, but because in some pressured lakes and streams, that's all they'll commit to... When it came over to the U.S., it seems like bunch of guys latched onto it as simply a "fun alternative" to spinning gear, but that's not really why it was developed. In Japan it fills a specific niche (or set of techniques) that doesn't necessarily replace spinning gear, but is geared specifically toward working ultra-small reaction baits.
Yall need to try that Edge EFX BFS DSR 700-C1
I just got to know, do you guys just memorize all of this info? Or, do you have a book or computer document somewhere that you keep all of this info? (Colors, sizes, hook sizes etc.) great video fellas
You guys recommend the 842 in the description but you’re holing the 782 mbr, hopefully the 842 is the same because I ordered that one a couple days ago
The karashi is the vision oneten of topwaters next level bait i often change out the hooks for 1 size bigger it will get a higher sinking rate and manny times i get a better hook up ratio if it walks a little bit deeper
I fish in europe on see bass an freshwater asp they both go up to 20 pounds( 10kilograms )in weight and the both go insane on the karashi
Yes!!!
I’m looking at getting an expride spinning rod. I mainly throw a cover shot not the hd, ned rigs, small swimbaits on the tactical underspin and wacky rigs what model should I get. I also primarily fish from the bank and a John boat
What do feel is the best knot to use to tie the light braid to fluorocarbon leader?
I see more buzbee that Edge boxes!! 👀
I own the 7,2 med light curado rod for bfs I like it a lot but is really stiff i want another setup what rod would be good to throw the smaller popper and crank baits
What is the best cold weather off shore BFS technique?
And why is the gear ratio on the Curado BFS so high?
I just bought a Curado 70 mgl with plans to use for bfs. Relatively a beginner here. Should I exchange it from Tackle Warehouse for the curado bfs? Pros/cons?
Any bfs specific frogs you recommend?
Noticed you throw 1/16 oz bullet weight on a ned bait quite often. Is there a benefit to this over just using a ned head?
I was curious if yal change any hooks or rings on any of these bfs baits or is everything ran exactly how it comes out the pack?
Wish you guys went more in depth with bfs rods. Which actions for what lures etc and there is alot more rods out there that work for bfs. Great video though
What is the high end of the Range of Lure weight for BFS...At what lure weight do you transition to the 70 SV or 70 MGL? Thanks !
Would the ML Expride be good for wacky rig or would you just go with a spinning rod?
Any experience with the zman smaller swim baits? I just loaded up but haven’t used
What kind of leader do you use for the BFS topwater baits?
Shimano just release the ARMA JOINT 60F/60S ... plus if the conquest 6'6" Medium MBR is too expensive, there's budget version in the GLX line up, which also available for those doesn't to drop $600+, the GLX version is much affordable. on top of that I feel the GLX version is much softer due to because it doesn't have the High-Power X and Spiral X on to the blank, but you guys can play with it, i want to know on your guys thoughts on the GLX 6'6" Medium Fast MBR for upper-end BFS application like the Conquest you guys mention here
I love you guys, but my wife calls you my Drug dealers, lol. Thanks guys foe another great video.
Any opinions on the kast king zephyr vs kestrel
I’m really curious to how the new Ark Gravity BFS reel is going to compare to the 3 you currently like.
I am as well. They probably wont use it though. Its not shimano
A bit off topic but has anyone noticed Tackle Warhouse has changed their website format, especially for rods?? The table for each series doesn't list the manf model name / number. Instead it's some other TW part number. If you select the rod length and action then hit VIEW SPECS, it shows the OEM model number (SO THEY HAVE THE INFO). The OEM model name/number needs to be in the table so we can simply scroll and click the OEM part name without checking a half dozen combinations by length / action and pressing "view specs".
Guy’s what rod do you recommend for the light Texas rig baits. I have a 6’8” medium light regular action rod rated for 1/16-1/2oz lures with a Curado bfs and 7lb line. I’m having trouble getting good distance with a 1/16oz tungsten weight, Z-man TRD Bugz, with a #2 Decoy hook. Idk if I’m using too heavy a line, my rod is not light enough or my reel isn’t capable..
Dang guys, no love for the OSP Bent Minnow? To be honest the bent minnow outperforms all my other bfs lures, even the karashis.
Also please take a look at Eurotackle's offering they have some finesse stuff that is both amazing in terms of action and cost.
The Durga 73SP is by far the best BFS bait I have used, Its a must try for anyone who likes jerkbaits like I do.
Caught my PB on my bfs setup . 7lber on 6 lb floro. It almoat have me a heart attack lol
MegaBass Detroyer pop x stick is 6'3" , I don't see an option for 6'9" I'm I missing something. I want to get the right rod. Thanks
Do you have any discount codes to use on the Tackle Warehouse site?
I have a bfs question. When putting line on specifically speaking braid. Should you just reel till you would stop by eye same as conventional. Or should you really go by what the reel says? I've heard where people are somehow having the issue of bending their spool in?
Is your Conquest a 782 or an 842?
Thanks!
can you or anyone recommend a good micro jig head for the micro craws?
Got the PopX Stick with the Aldebaran and I assert you, its obscenely light 😅
which weight rod did you get the Light Regular or Ultra Light?
Im literally looking at my Plano Edge 3700 box filled with over $1,100 in BFS hard baits. And my new 22 Shimano Aldabaran BFS arrives today?
Current hardware is a MB PopXstick with a 2016 Shimano Aldabaran with 3lb Sunline FC Sniper. Planning on going to 1lb after I’ve used up the 3lb. BFS all or nothing!
I'm looking at the MB PopX with the new Aldabaran as well. The link above takes you to the MB Destroyer. Is that the same? And what weight is recommended? This will be my first setup.
But the Megabass Pop-X rod has 1 Oz casting weight and it´s still BFS?
What’s the best action and power rod to throw Ned rigs on? I’ve got my curado bfs and need a rod for it.
The cashion 6’10 ml
@@Brian-xi3kzthanks man!
The fact that daiwa doesn’t have a BFS reel in the American market is just stupid. considering they already have them in the JDM market makes absolutely zero sense.
so the rods and reels they have linked you can't get started for less then $400 is there anyway to get a rod and reel for under $200?
I got my Dobyns 701 and a Zephyr Bfs reel last year for $200ish during Christmas. It’s a great starter BFS setup. I love it. I plan to upgrade my reel to a Curado BFS but the Zyphyr for the price is not bad.
The new TW website isn’t all that bad guy’s, it’s not as good as it WAS, but it’s a hell of a lot better than everything else out there. I agree the Holliday sales this year were kinda confusing and I didn’t enjoy trying to figure it out. My biggest issue and Idk if it was just me or not but I think most of the so called sales weren’t even sales, it seems they show an item with a price that was actually higher than the price normally is, then they showed that price crossed out and the Holliday/sale price next to it. Problem is that sale price was the normal price they ALWAYS cost! THEY just marked the price up during the holidays and act like it’s on sale now when in reality that’s the price it always costs..
There are a few glitches on the site but overall we really like it too. Regarding the sales, it sounds like you may not realize what all is actually on sale. For years now, the "listed" sale brands are just what they're allowed to post without breaking MAP pricing requirements, but all the others are on sale too. You have to complete the purchases to see the savings on the receipt but it's all on sale at its respective time. It's currently rods and ALL rods are on sale, despite what is listed.
