Fishing for River Smallmouth Bass with BFS Gear!

Ойын-сауық

I brought my Shimano Aldebaran/Sensilite BFS combo down to the river and decided it would be fun to pursue smallies with the new sizes of Mule Jigs. Bait Finesse System (BFS) is really growing on me. The more I do it, the more fun I have. Pair this fun style of fishing with smallmouth bass and you have yourself a real treat :D

While the fishing was pretty tough, I still had one heck of a good time out there. I caught some fish, put a lot of miles on the Chacos, and enjoyed some beautiful weather. How can I complain?

    Alright man, I can't take it anymore. I just ordered the stuff to set up a BFS rig. I've been slowly replacing all my spinning setups with casting setups and this might kick out my last UL spinning setup. Looks like I need to order some more Mule jigs.

    I think you can use that rod without a BFS reel but just be sure not to overpower it. Try to stay within the ratings and don't use too heavy of line.

    Sloppy Joes and SmallJaws; now that’s a good day (and a mondo Rock Bass). So you got your BFS reel from AliExpress? Are they reliable; I found the one reel for $55 in RH and shipped from the US. Just wondering if AliExpress is legit? I also saw that BPS has a Mr Crappie 6’ Light Action Casting Rod available and it’s cheap. My son has the Mr Crappie UL spinning combo and in all honesty; the rod really isn’t that bad.

    I love the idea of the Mr. Crappie 6' L Casting rod. Good idea! I bought the Fishband GH100 from fellow Team Dinker but you can definitely target AliExpress. Just target a supplier who has sold a lot and has good reviews - you won't have issues. If you can pay via PayPal, that is super secure and always protected as well.

    So if you remember I was talking to you about doing a micro bass jig. Heres what I have come up with so far. 1/32 Weedless round ball head jig Mustad size 6 hook Half tab green pumpkin barb wire skirt A few strands tan of living ruber 2 inch twin tail grub. Still in the testing phase with it. I need to play with the weed guard. It's hard to find the balance between too heavy of a weed guard where you set on a fish and never see the jig again and too light where you get hung up on a twig and never see the jig again. Needless to say I have lost a few already lol

    QUESTION! Hey man don’t know if you will see this but I need some input on a fishing kayak. I’d like something max $1000CAD and i would like for a sit on top with a nice food up seat. I’m a bigger guy 230lbs and would like something of a flatter type. I’d prefer a paddle kayak over the pedal type. A big thing would also be storage and maybe some rod holder mounts. If you have any good ideas you can get back to me on this comment. Thanks man!

    For that price, I would consider the Jackson Bite or an Old Town Topwater. Otherwise, keep your eyes our for a used Native Slayer or Bonafide! Buying used is always a good way to save some coin and still get a great rig.
