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. We've linked them in the exact order Matt talked about them, and even included our favorite colors for the baits.

Like this if you want a ‘Top 10 Bass Fishing Lures Of All Time’ video from Matt & Tim 👍

[jeffhayungs]

Great BFS video. Been on the BFS bandwagon for almost 2 years now and love it.

[brandonmerideth]

My first bfs rod was the Dobyns Sierra ultra finesse 701c and I absolutely love it! Also the day I fell in love with bfs I was fishing a 3 inch spark shad on a quarter ounce keitech ballhead catching 3 to 4lb spotted and smallmouth bass out of 20 to 25 foot of water all on 4 pound line and I have done it so many times since then! Okishira screw head is awesome too it gives any bait a little wobble like a spy bait

Hey Matt! Just wanted to give ya quick shoutout man, your videos and content is awesome. So informative and helpful and you really ‘dumb’ it down for me. You always have a great attitude as well man. Thank you for what you do, I really appreciate it 🤙

[kouvue]

BFS is super fun, and important part of my advantage for fishing. Thanks for your knowledge

[TheRoyalsr]

I ordered that Karachi after watching this video. Super fast Shipping!!! And within 5 minutes of trying it, a bird swooped down and grabbed ! I’m convinced now! Thank you

[Lqviolin]

That Reins ring craw has saved my day many times on the pressured ponds near me. Great BFS video!

[randallmiller]

I love BFS fishing!! I love these videos and I really appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge on this topic!! I can see that you’re fanatical about it, just as I am, but more for inshore saltwater fishing. Thank you!

[midwestfischerman]

7:02 "I've followed good anglers down a shoreline....I'm watching them catch nothing...." Matt, are you throwing some stealth shade at Tim???😳🤯 Don't do your boy like that!!!😬 JUST KIDDING MATT!!!!🤣 I hope this makes Tim and you laugh!!!😂

[kouvue]

I love your skills and teaching us how too do it if you’re are a beginner or veteran fisherman. Thanks 🐟on!!!

I fish from the shore and I caught 20 fish 2 days ago and 15 yesterday in 2 hours after work. The Kerashi slays. I mean they could not resist it. I could see the wakes just coming in like they were just full speed. Thanks TB!!

[shawnseabaugh]

Thanks I've been following for years, you guys have Definitely made me a better fishermen👍

[kenmccarthyfishing]

Thank you Matt, BFF is definitely not going away ❤

[richardkeller]

Just ordered bfs reel, rod, and baits plus gonna throw that 7inch damiki shad on 6/0 owner beast!
Thanks Matt

[garrettwiill]

Hoping to see a video on the Tatula BF TW 70 soon

[steveadams]

Matt Great Video! I just ordered some Karashi lures LOL! I have an "Old 18" 7' ultralight Suppressor Series BFS rod. It's paired with a Curado BFS reel(upgraded ceramic bearings). For simplicity, I use 8 pound Varivas Twitchmaster low stretch mono, so I can fish sinking hardbaits or floating topwater baits all on the same rod. So much fun!

[Joshmango]

I had a 25lb carp eat a smaller crank on my Slx bfs setup. It pulled me all over the river. Awesome fight on the curado 6’10” medium light.

[FishingWithChris_Tv]

I rarely bother with BFS but it’s definitely a fun setup to dabble with every so often which is why I went as budget as budget can get with my setup for my style of fishing. Kastking Zephyr/6’ lite Bass Pro Crappie Maxx.

[PC-gspv]

The hooks on the karashi are no joke, I caught a thumb last weekend.

[MrWhiteboy]

I’ve been having a lot of good luck with a little tail spin right now!
