Bait Finesse Fishing ( BFS ) For Bass! How Its Actually Done!

We're throwing BAIT FINESSE ( BFS ) all day long! Today is dedicated to the growing segment of bass fishing known as "Bait Finesse". We're using the Shimano Curado BFS reel on a variety of different light and ultralight bait casting rods to effectively fish worms, craws, topwater, and reaction baits. If you've never seen this fishing method in action, you don't want to miss this!

Come along for an awesome day of finesse fishing with Bait Finesse Tackle! Ultralight bait casting gear, micro baits, and quality bass! Matt starts the day fishing a micro craw profile on offshore structure, then moves shallow with a variety of moving baits ( Megabass Karashi, Damiki Umpa, Rapala Ultralight, and the Jackall PikuPiku ). Micro baits and quality bass, can it get more fun?!?!

Below you'll find links to all the gear Matt is using, including the baits, colors, hooks, rods, and reels. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
