Here is the second in the $2 BFS Lure Series where I fish discount lures using ultralight baitcasting gear.  First round, I fished a Crawdad. This time, I fish a hard bait that looks like a Yo-Zuri lure. I started out fishing a Chartreuse one but switched to an Inline Spinner because the pond had lots of greenery fouling the lure. Soon after, a Bass chased a Bluegill into the shallows directly in front of me. Got some cool video of it! That said, I cast the spinner and caught a Bass... may have been the one that was chasing a Bluegill! Afterwards, I lost the spinner to a Tree Fish. I decided to go back to the $2 Lure but went with a White one. I also removed the rear hook and left the front hook on in hopes of fouling the lure less. It did work, caught a Bass and also lost one! I learned a stop and go retrieve works well, and watched a Bass swallow the lure... I set the hook but did not land it. Fun times... to check back, playing around with another $2 Lure... another Yo-Zuri imit...

Starting a new fishing series that looks at discount lures and their ability to catch fish. Keeping it simple, the series sets a $2 limit for purchasing the lure and focuses on Bait Finesse Systems fishing aka ultralight bait casting. Regardless, what gear you use, as long as you can cast the $2 lure, you should be able to give them a try fishing them in your area! Do check out the first in the series... Wal-Marts hard bait lure that I call the Crawdad! It will catch a fish or two! Available online at Wal-Mart... Click on picture for more details from Wal-Mart. Else, run to your local Wal-Mart and look for them selling for $2.00... specifically, $1.98 before tax!

Found an old Rapala Floating Minnow lure while antiquing this past weekend. 30+ years old, still catches fish! Worked well with the Bass Pro Shops Microlite Rod and Kastking Zephyr BFS Reel with clicker!

When rain approaches, I decide to go fishing. After a ling dry spell of no rain, I go for a quick trip with the ultralight baitcaster for bait finesse fishing. In short order, it starts pouring. No worries, the bass were biting!

BFS fishing the local pond. Started with a popper but switched to a Rooster Tail and had fun catching Bass. Shimano Scorpion 17 BFS-XG reel still rocks with the Bass Pro Shops Microlite Fiberglass rod!

Had Friday off last week. Made the run to the Blue River to try trout fishing using ultralight fishing gear. We left the fly fishing gear at home. Your truly and opted for a Bait Finesse System Combo that truly has me hooked. Our fishing buddy went with an Ultralight Spinning Combo. Tried various lures and in the end, it came down to Super Dupers and presentation, changing the retrieve as needed based on the trout striking or more importantly on what they were nor striking! Do check out the video an in keeping with out motto, "Learn to fish by our trials and errors"... let us know if the video was helpful! #baitfinesse #bfsfishing #ultralightfishing See more from the Team...

Fished another pond for trout and limited out. Tried the five steps detailed in another video. Looks like they worked! Just needed to find the pattern. Check out the video! Link to other video... "What I did to limit out for trout." Followed the same five steps as outlined below: Step 1 - Observe Step 2 - What worked before? Step 3 - What is Different? Step 4 - Give them what they want! Step 5 - Catch a limit! Ended up limiting out on trout suing Silver Super Dupers! #baitfinesse #bfsfishing #troutfishing

Second of a three box subscription that yours truly received as a Christmas Gift. Decided on the Panfish and Trout option because we have had good luck with the light weight lures that target panfish and trout…. and more important, can be used for Bait Finesse System aka ultralight baitcasting. This round had five lures of which the Slim John Spoon at 1/12oz and Crappie Jigs at 1/16oz should work well with the BFS Combos we have! Do check back; hope to catch a fish or two with them! bfsfishing #baitfinesse #mysterytacklebox See more gear on our COAF Field Team Amazon Page Kastking Zephyr K astking Zephyr with reel clicker Shima no Reel 17 Scorpion BFS XG Right BPS Micro Lite Rod Bass Pro Shops Graphite Series 3′ Casting Rod – GRS30MT

Issues with the audi sync of the original live stream update from the Team! Here is a updated video with the sync issue resolved and additional footage to support the answer to the question about pros and cons of BFS versus Spin Casting. Was tough to find info specific to comparing BFS with Spin Casting. Decided to try a different approach and then search online. As I am a novice at BFS, thoughts were to collate inputs from other more experienced fishermen. Do check out the pre-recorded discussion and lets us know why you decided to try Bait Finesse Systems Fishing! bfsfishing #pondfishing #baitfinesse

Just came in from Bass Pro Shops – announcement for Friday January 28, 2022! Take a moment this Fun at Work Day and treat yourself to new gear at Bass Pro Shops! Also, just ordered the BPS Micro Lite Glass Casting Rod . It’s fiberglass, meant to cast ultralight lures, and looks like it will pair well with a Bait Finesse Systems reel!  And, it is a two-piece rod making for ease or portability when making the commute to the day job!

Forgot I had the inline spinner lure making kit. It was gathering dust in the closet. Luckily, I remembered it was there after ordering another Kastking Zephyr BFS Reel… this one has a reel clicker like the Shimano Scorpion 17 Reel. In short order, made two inline spinners using 1/16oz worm weights for the body. Tried them at a couple of ponds and had one Bass strike but did not land it. Need to use a bigger treble hook. Made the modification, now just got a catch a fish… who knows, maybe with the new Kastking Zephyr BFS with reel clicker. Supposed to deliver tomorrow! bfsfishing #baitfinesse #inlinespinner

Live stream update from the Team! Still trying to catch a fish on the new Shimano Scorpion 17 BFS Reel mounted on the Daiwa Minicast Rod. The combo is casting light lures with ease… and I have my thumb educated where I am not backlashing. Now just gotta catch a fish! #shimano #bfsfishing #mikelewispark

New reel arrived. Going to open it and check it out! The Shimano Curado BFS reels were out of stock. Saw a review by RxAngler for the Shimano Scorpion. Liked It! See video at the end of this post. Noticed the Shimano Reel 17 Scorpion BFS XG Right was in stock on Amazon. Had gift cards from Christmas, in short order… ordered one. Plan to fish it sooner than later. Do check back on follow-up fishing videos!

Fished the local pond with the Kastking Zephyr BFS reel on a Shakespeare Microcast Rod and 1/16oz Roostertail. Switched the 10lbs braided line that had a 2lbs mono equivalent diameter for 4lbs mono… no more line slipping under the spool! Caught two bass and found a lure someone lost… not bad, left with more lures than I had at the start. Not the norm for yours truly! PS. Shimano BFS reel delivers today… check back for an unboxing post!
