Finesse Fishing is sweeping bass fishing again! If you haven't experienced BFS fishing yet, now is the time! In today's Buyer's Guide we're covering our favorite BFS baits, rod, reels, and tackle, for casting ultralight presentations without the need for spinning tackle. This fishing method is here to stay, gaining more popularity every day!

If you're not familiar with BFS, anything you've done with a spinning rod can now be done with a bait caster. Plus, it's a lot of fun! BFS has been around for decades but has exploded into the US Market in the last few years. Even if you prefer spinning tackle, you can benefit from the new baits being designed for this category, so don't sleep on the BFS category!

Megabass Karashi: Why This Little Bait Could Take Over Bass Fishing!

The Megabass Karashi is changing Bass Fishing! This finesse bait is drawing reaction strikes in bass that we've never seen from any other bait this size! From the action it creates, to the way fish respond, this bait is rapidly creating a whole new category in bass fishing!

The Karashi is a finesse bait and you'll need to adapt your gear to fish it effectively. Whether you prefer bait finesse gear or spinning tackle, it will take a light rod to get the action from this lure that bass can't resist. The bait comes stock with size 10 hooks, drastically smaller than anything we're used to. But don't let the size fool you, this bait will catch BIG fish!

Below you'll find links to the Karashi, our favorite colors, as well as the rod and reel combos we've used to fish it effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of the items.
