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.

Bait Finesse Tricks For Spring And Summer Bass Fishing! ( Karashi, Popper, Soft Jerkbait )

Come along for a fun morning of BFS fishing! We're on the water at first light and the bass are feeding! We've got a variety of bait finesse gear on deck, and we're focusing our attention on topwater and reaction baits. Watch how Matt uses different baits to keep fishing biting, long after the morning bite window shuts off!

Bait finesse fishing is all about having fun on the water! Matt is fishing a lake that is known for smaller bass.

The Best Bait Finesse (BFS) Tricks For Spring Bass Fishing!

You have to try these first couple tricks! Whether you prefer spinning tackle, or bait finesse gear, these ultra light baits work like magic in the Spring! Bass can't resist these downsized finesse lures, especially on tough lakes with a lot of fishing pressure. If you haven't tried BFS fishing yet, you're missing some of the best bass fishing there is!

The bait finesse system is a method of casting ultra light lures with baitcasting rods and reels. This isn't trying to fish lighter line on your existing setups, this is a completely different method of fishing. These casting combos are more capable than most spinning rods, when it comes to throwing the micro baits. But what you really need to understand is this fishing method will put the FUN back in bass fishing for you!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, rods, reels, and gear we use for Spring BFS fishing.

Bait Finesse Gear ( BFS ), Aluminum Boat, And Shallow Water! Let's Go Bass Fishing!!

We're fishing pressured water during a giant tournament and catching BIG Bass! Come along for a day on the water as we use an aluminum boat to push back into shallow water and escape the crowds of anglers. We use a mix of traditional techniques and "bait finesse" gear to dial in a pattern and catch a bunch of fish!

Bait finesse isn't just a niche that some anglers are implementing. Watch as Matt mixes bait finesse into a regular day of fishing and maximizes his time on the water. If you're not using these methods yet, its okay, you're still on the cutting edge of this fishing style with plenty of time to learn!
