This Trick Makes Bass Fishing Way More Fun
Bait Finesse! Have you tried it yet? Nothing will turn a tough day on the water around faster than a BFS setup and some micro baits. A day full of tiny fish that would normally be a "tough day" is suddenly a blast! Its hard to explain just how fun this method of finesse fishing is until you try it for yourself, but if you're ready to change your fishing for the better, its time to try Bait Finesse!
Bait finesse isn't new. Its been around in Japan for decades and has slowly trickled into the US over the past 10 years. However, the arrival of the Curado BFS reel last year kicked the Bait Finesse movement into high gear. If you primarily catch smaller bass, fish small bodies of water, or your fish are heavily pressured, turning to BFS can completely change your fishing for the better!
While there are very few "BFS Baits" there are a lot of awesome finesse baits that work well for Bait Finesse Fishing. Below you'll find links to our favorite rods and reels for the technique, along with many of our favorite baits by category. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
