TINY BFS Jerkbaits for Bass (Which one is best for you?)

Sometimes you need to downsize to get a bite. Whether it's a tough day or you are matching the hatch, there are many reasons to try something a little smaller than a traditional bait. A small jerkbait is an amazing way to fool those weary fish while still covering water. Let's take a look at a few of the BFS sized jerk baits that I have been fishing with.

The baits:

BFS setup used:
Reel: Shimano Curado BFS
Rod: Dobyns Sierra 691c
Mainline: Suffix 832 10lb
Leader: Maxima Ultragreen 6lb

Megabass nails the natural looks so well. I think that’s honestly what makes the biggest difference with really any of their jerkbaits. That combined with precision suspension is 🧑‍🍳💋

Great video Jake all lures that I use for smaller peacock bass here in Brazil!

The duo realis shad 57 MR and rozante shad 63 are extremely hard to beat for castability and action.

Very informative video also like the under water action of each bait.this is very helpful since I'm a bank fisherman and I fish ponds and lakes with various depths

I am a big fan of the Pointer 65. Has really great action and casts well on BFS gear. And ultimately it catches fish.

For the rozante 63 I catch so many fish just twitching it an the action is amazing my favorite right now.

Another great vid. My lake has a ton of White Perch and it would be hard to keep those baits away from them.

X NANAHAN IS MY FAV BUT INTERESTED IN the X 80

[synaptik]

Thanks so much for the excellent breakdown - can you elaborate on which colors you were using?

[williamtennill]

Check into the Karashi by mega bass ..it’s worth the wait ..I’m a big fan of it and the 70/80 at mega bass .. I paired mine to a “Kestral Elite” and 1 power Dobyns serria to get me into the BFS game and I really was happy and impressed with the casting on tiny baits ..distance is good ..I am adding another rod or 2 too the collection in BFS as well

Well I just got the karashi Megabass, idk if those are considered as jerkbait, and I hope that you can make another video of them, but for now I will buy those nanahans 😅 thanks for the info 👍🏽👍🏽

What rod are you using, I want a lamiglass light Action moderate rod curious what your using I want that parabolic bend that won’t rip those small trebles out and has give for those bigger fish

vision 95. It's maybe debatably a lil bigger than bfs, but it is a small profile jerkbait, and probably too small for a traditional jerkbait rod. Its close to a vision 110 jr size, but it's got 2 hooks, and the way its balanced, i think it looks and acts way better than the x nanahan. It is a true suspend, kinda head down, but close to level. But what it does, is when you jerk it or twitch it, when it comes to a stop it does this extra side to side shimmy on the pause. Now I'm no bass, but it seems to me, that extra shimmy-shake causes some nasty strikes, esp with smallmouth. but it is a lil bigger than the nanahan, so you might not consider it bfs at all. I would throw it on my bfs, though I typically throw it on a spinning rod honestly.

Try the Yo-Zuri 3DS Series Minnow 2.75"(70mm) rip bait. You will not regret it.

You also have the megabass margay tungsten and the imakatsu ik spin both are darty
