SPRING BUYER'S GUIDE: BFS ( Bait Finesse System: Rods, Reels, Baits, Tackle )
Bait Finesse continues to sweep the nation! 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.
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!
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.
