BFS

BFS Are you going BFS? Do you want to create a bass finesse system aimed at throwing really light lures: something that, a few years ago, was only possible with spinning tackle? With so many new light bait casting rods and reels hitting the market right now, BFS is really gaining in popularity. And why not if you consider that the average weight of bass in most of the country is around 2 pounds. When the conditions are right, using a bass finesse system is one way to get the most enjoyment out of catching small and medium size bass. And how do you do it? The heart of any bass finesse system is the reel. You need a bait caster that lets you cast lures that are under ¼ oz. The Shimano Aldebaran released last year is one of them and the new Curado 70 is a likely candidate. If you don't want to invest that much, you might take a look at the Casitas. The three of them have the SVS Infinity System that lets you really tailor the brake force to light lures. And what about rods? There is one rod in the new line up that stands out. I'm talking about the Zodias ZDS 1610 ML. I've been throwing I-props on that rod coupled with an Aldebaran and 8-pound test line for the last year with a lot of success and ˜'fun'', catching small fish … and not so small fish.
