That’s the great thing about bass fishing, there’s always something new to spend all your money on.
BFS is where it's at. So much fun and, is surprisingly great for stream fishing for trout.
I'm a righty and I cast with right and retrieve with my left. Who else does this
me too, i used spinning most of all my life so switching to baitcasting reel lefty is much more natural to me
I’m trying to be that guy!
Cast left reel right. Cast right reel left lol.
Same here. I'll never understand why people cast right and retrieve right! LOL
@@dirtier2 so you can choke up on reel as a natural transition. You can place the reel in your other hand.
Absolutely the BEST bfs video on TH-cam, PERIOD...
I am glad you bring the using a casting and retrieving hand up. I have never understood having to switch hands. A couple buddies have witnessed how effective it can be, especially when bass hit a top water immediately as it touches the water, and switched over too. It just always seemed to make sense to me as a kid, so that's how I started fishing.
Correct and Amen. Since I have only been fishing almost seventy years I finally got my head straight and everything I buy is left hand crank right handed cast. Hey just like Spinning, why the stickyness of those stuck on a right hand crank is pure stupidity to me. By the way, learn where the Eddy effect is and put those handles down on a cast and thumb the rim of the spool with edge of they thumb against the line. You'll learn to love it. If I ain't too old neither are you. CUONO.
One of the best vids you’ve ever made the info was great the products displayed were wonderful I love bfs fishing I learned about it for trout fishing in streams but have used it for bass,bluegill,crappie and perch and you showed how much more fun/exciting than regular gear can leave you wanting
Such a great video. Fun to watch, informative and you guys had a great time. It was a winner for everyone. Thanks
I realize this BFS stuff is pretty cool. It means we can fish from 15 lb fish down to 1/3rd lb fish in the way we are FAMILIAR with fishing.
Its actually pretty cool.
Thanks for this video!
Thank you for watching! Have fun with it!
The misconception is that it is expensive. Needs fancy lures
This is false
Sunrise and sunset fishing is the best👍👍. Thanks for the video and content 🔥🔥🔥
That was awesome guys!! really well done with that little BFS series, I love how it's really taking off now in a veriety of different forms.
We refer to ultra light lure fishing here in the UK in saltwater as LRF but all generally very similar and as you mentioned catches all species of predatory fish anywhere... Congrats on landing that big Bass man that video couldn't have gone any better for demonstrating the fun and effectiveness of this stuff 👍
Best description of what BFS is all about on TH-cam! Great overview of the gear and techniques with some excellent tips thrown for bonus. I come from ultralight spinning for trout to using BFS gear. Definitely interested in trying BFS on bass in streams now! Your video really got me excited to get out there.
absolutely awesome video ive learnt heaps on bfs cant wait to catch my first fish
Excellent tutorial guys. One of the best BFS videos.. Great cstch..
Great breakdown guys 👊🏽
Great video! 🔥 Love fishing with light gear.
Nice video! It's a blast fishing BFS and catching all-size fish, but the big ones really get the adrenaline pumping. And I totally agree as a right-hander, I cast all types of rods with my right hand and reel with my left.
I gotta say the Destroyer P5 Cliffhanger Thrilling I bought from you guys is amazing. So I just wanted to give you guys a big thank you. I own 2 NRXs and I was hoping to get that level of sensitivity out of a BFS rod for throwing small swimbaits and micro neds. This rod weighs nothing and that sensitivity is next level. I got my insulated waders in so I've been having a blast fishing this rod in the creek. I think it's so awesome you guys are covering this amazing technique. I've been BFS fishing for a few years now and I love it just as much as frogging in the pads for giants.
I need to find this river! Looks super peaceful !
Lots of great info and fishing action.
I just ordered my first BFS setup. I cant wait to take it to a pressured lake I fish that has a lot of overhanging trees and snags. I've always preferred casting gear so I'm stoked to be able to finesse fish this way. I think it's very sporting using light tackle to catch both large and small fish.
I just like the videos when the ad is showing. Much thanks for showing this style of fishing.
I really like these on the water videos. 👍👍
Yeah baby. Nice work
For years I have been trying to get small baits for River Smallies. The JDM brands have always had more lures in the 65mm range. It is awesome to have more of these small offerings and a shop that is bringing them to the US market. I just bought that sling pack, JDM lures in a JDM bag awesome.
Those of us who also fish for 2 plus pound crappie understand that style of hookset you described. That was a nice Hawg!
Really appreciate the videos on BFS. I look forward to the new BFS adventure when the companies develop budget. ;)
Awesome fish! I felt the excitement!!!!
Thank you for watching!
Good stuff I'm sure I have every bfs lure off you guys. Appreciate you guys for expanding this category!! Can I just buy in advance and you get it just ship lol.
Thatsss awesome. I need to get into this sooo bad lol. Looks like a blast. 🤘
Thank you for watching!
Love that you are finally into BFS.I came in the shop about 2 years ago sniffing around for stuff and you were like No.
Haha! Well, I was wrong 🤣👊
Awesome fish off that 🌴! BFS looks super fun!
Palm Trees are the deal apparently! It is so much fun! Thanks for watching Buck!
Nice work!!!
Great video!
Another good reason for casting a baitcaster with the spool facing the side is the wrist works more effectively with a wider range of motion. It just feels more natural allowing for more consistent and smoother casts. Aiming is a bit easier too that way. Casting with the spool facing upright, you're limited to the range of motion your wrist has going from side to side. Switching the spool sideways makes you use the full up and down range of motion in your wrist. I was pleasantly surprised to find out you guys are in AZ. I'll be in sometime soon hopefully to get my BFS setup.
Great hunting catching giant and bass 😮🎣
I can’t wait to get my bfs setup going wants it warms up in Iowa while wearing my Deps hip bag. Ballin. Awesome video
I can’t wait for you to use your new gear!
Slipknot rules! 🤘(They're from Iowa)
That river is always full of suprises 😁 awsome catch and the vid
Surprised me!!
Loving the ultralight content!
Thank you for making this video. BFS was kind of a"but why?!?!" for me. But, I fished with a friend who insists on fishing with lighter spinning gear even on big lakes. He says he likes the fight on lighter gear. I just don't really like using spinning gear too much. Your video really kind of helped it make sense to me. Can't believe you pulled that big bass out of that bush. Congrats!!
Nice good job guys I am still shoveling snow here.
Sucks for you 😂👍!. Thanks for watching man!
dude awesome video!
So dope. Need more fishing videos!
Thank you for watching! We'll do more fishing vids 👍
I’ve been fishing my small rivers with an ungly stick and a castking zephyr. I love the zephyr but I can tell that I need a better rod. I just purchased my first Megabass from you. I have never spent this much on a rod. I hope it lives up to the hype. I really want that Diawa real but it is way out of my price range, wish y’all had a lay away plan. But I am certainly looking forward to my new gear. Thank y’all.
Man those Triza rods are 🔥
I love my Triza's so much!!!
@@thehookuptackle_usa me two, seriously i own two lol
Been using this for 5 years. Good to see mainstream adaptation of it
Love the video, y’all should do an overview of the Megabass Triza rod lineup
I will definitely be trying this here in Illinois once it finally warms up!
Sending warm vibes your direction!
Great video
The Crappies and Perch in my lake are gonna get a mouth full of Great Hunting this season
Sounds dope to me!
Finally a chance to see some BFS gear in action! Looks fun lol
It's so much fun! Thank you for watching!
BFS is fun with panfish, is like panfishing on steroid, try it
Awesome video
Love your channel great JDM content and now finally bfs. I am fishing a long time bfs in the Netherlands for big ass perch and nothing beats the feeling of a big fish on light gear. Favorite lure is the DUO REALIS ROZANTE 63 SP you should give it a try.
I love the Rozante! It's a great one that could easily be included in my favs! Thank you for watching!
I started cast right hand and retrieve left like you should l. But I actually switched to right hand retrieve for the sake of my shoulder so I had to switch. But I’ve learned to switch hands before the bait hits the water
I know people thought I was crazy for throwing little jerk baits and using inline spinners at these pressured ponds, but you are right that using the right rod makes it a ton of fun catching them even when they are small. By the way I do that on a crappy 30 dollars trout rod I got from bass pro 6 years ago. It’s sad to say but I’ve caught more fish on that rod then my 200 and 400 dollar rods lol. I never lose fish on that rod either, it has so much give in the rod and it allows me to really launch those tiny baits out.
Thats crazy that you pulled that bass with 3lb test. Thanks for the demo on the light gear. Really helps understand the setup and application. It would really help us noobs if you could demo different setups more often. Just like this. Its a little win on our side ; )
Cool man. thank you for the feedback!
Wow, Geoffrey. The opening cinematography :). Very nice haha.
He's such an artist
Great video and great channel. Any thoughts about getting into this kind of fishing as a beginner? This looks really fun but my sole fishing experience has been salt fishing once or twice a year with my spinner and I hear bait-casters can be frustrating. Also curious about how you compare this to fly fishing as you mentioned you were a fly guide.
This video has inspired me to get a BFS setup. I’ll be giving you all a ring! 🍺🍺🍺
I’ve started using bfs in the uk 🇬🇧 it’s really taken off over here great fun , I use a light titainium trace on my outfit lots of pike in my local river , so I have to guard against bite offs , the trace wire is thin material dosent put the chub or perch off ,, I use 6 lb test Cahira nitinol wire which you can tie with a 3 turn blood knot, I use 8 lb braid , the rod has a 1 - 5 gram casting weight, biggest fish I’ve caught so far is a 7lb 8 ounce pike
Nice. I just caught my new PB on BFS
Bought another 70 mgl. Putting some 4lb and giving this a try. Looks super fun. Got a 6 foot rod at a cheaper price point in stock.
Check out the slx bfs reel that comes out in a few months in japan, for a rod look into a jdm Shimano zodiacs bfs rod or a major craft benkei bfs rod
I asked and I received the video lol. There are a lot of magic moments in these videos! Great job Geoff capturing these moments. Is the F2 lopros spinning going to be in stock anytime in the near future?
Something I never understood is the switching hands to cast. I am right handed so I cast and hold the rod with the right and wind the reel with the left hand. Suppose old school folks didn't have the option of left hand retrieve baitcasters
I’ve always wondered the same thing. Yet when they use a spinning combo they cast with their right and reel with their left. Makes no sense why they switch hands with baitcasters.
Wish you carried the JDM Daiwa Alphas Air TW. Best BFS reel out of the box!
Great Info Guys !! PEACE OUT :-)
2 Recommendations if I may, instead of pliers I use Forceps, and no knot fas snaps from the fly fishing world. I've been using them for years on my ul spinning gear.
I had the same MB Criffhanger paired with Steez Ltd 21. 3g SP throw about 20-25m and had pull barra 2.5 kg on 20 lbs test braid on it. Now thinking of getting another extra spool to put 6 lbs line on. Do you think i should go with another SV Boost or wait for a shallow BFS spool, Roro? Will full ceramics or hybrid bearing help over stock?
I allways remove the split ring from the hardlures and use a decoy round snap size 000. Works realy good.
Those Megabass hunting look amazing! Really wanna give those a try but unfortunately pike exist up here in WI.
Stupid Pike...
Nice man. Looks hella fun. Just be careful in summer days out there. The wasp and bees are in alot of trees. Next is small frogs. I bet they would kill it out there. Nice video keep up the great work.
The small frogs are FUN!! LunkerHunt Pocket Frog is a fish magnet even when fishing is tough. Sometimes it has be very slow, but it's awesome!
@hook up tackle are u guys going to have any of those sling body bag in anytime soon?
you guys should try carolina rig (using a 1/16oz weight) with the floating version great hunting flatside is pretty deadly
sounds deadly to me! Thanks for the tip!
I’ve been wanting to learn way more about bfs. Already know this is going to be a great vid!
Glad you're here! Thank you for watching!
I was so totally impressed with the handles up (down) preferences. Also note Eddy effect of the magnets is totally different from a horizontal spool than a vertical spool against the earths magnetism flow. Wished you would have stayed with it throughout the broadcast as well. None the less a few will be helped, God Bless.
Man what about catchin' those Havasu slabs with those baits 🤤
hi, what's the paddle tail on your hat @ 7.05 ?is it a Dolive shad 3.5 ? colour? , cheers &thxs
Just got a massive brown trout ( by my standards anyway, I’m a bass guy when they’re biting) on my ultralight setup I got earlier...
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
My boy behind the camera is like I throw baits as big as these fish were catching but it’s still fishing 😮😂
I’m looking for an all around travel bfs rod for like jerkbaits and mirco jigs/ned rigs. Any suggestions? Triza Spartna or Orochi 4 piece Jade Python? What do you think?
Jade Python is probably the most versatile or Lopros
What are the zips like on the bag? Would they corrode easily in saltwater?
Great video guys! Definitely think there should be a bigger push in bass fishing to not switch hands when casting, tons of advantages in fish fighting and efficiency! What knots have you guys found work best with these ultralight fluorocarbons and minimize breakage? Thanks!
I tie the Uni or Double Uni depending on the bait and size of line.
@@thehookuptackle_usa thanks! I’ll gives those a try right lines!
Tight*
Your dominant hand has quicker reaction time, and is more sensitive. So more hook sets and bite feeling with your dominant hand.
Right handed reel with left
Left handed reel with right
Personally I take the split ring off of hard baits and use a snap. Sometimes I’m too lazy and leave the split ring. Never noticed a difference, be it a dive 48, duo ryuki, lucky craft pointer 48 or any small crank baits.
Can you tell me which reel you are using? Did you have to put a custom lighter spool into it?
I have a shimano conquest bfs reel that i want to use for small finesse swim jigs and ned rigs i have 15 lb power pro on it and i lake fish out of my kayak..can you recommend a rod
Luv vids about BFS Ultra light fishing its Great ! Al comes down on your skillz and gear Amazing fishing. Pitty is shooting agains the light/ sun in also in intro something burning on the background that blurrs and parts too. And some parts are sharp others . . . Bad angle and background could be much better ajust this camera. Anyways great channel and info nice Cold feet Great Bass 😄
👍♥️👍🇳🇱
Will you get any Alphas Air in LHR?
I can’t wait for the release of the Shimano SLX BFS over in Japan so I can order that. I can see Diawa has great bfs reels but dang the pricey. I think the SLX will bring a quality affordable reel to most people, no offense to the Ali express guys, that could really supercharge things in the states.
Try a 20lb carp on 6lb. Or a 5lb bass on 4lb. Bfs all day. I'm so glad to see you guys get more involved in this scene.
It's so fun!! Thank you for watching!
You should do more videos like this using the products you sell. Good stuff. I still dont understand why people use right hand baitcaster and keep switching hand after casting. It just feels weird, just use a left hand baitcaster.
Left hand feels weird to me! But I'm trying to learn!!! Thank you for watching my friend.
Very useful and detailed tutorial. I must say, though, that all this small-bait, light line stuff would be more impressive if some European guy hadn't invented the spinning reel 80 years ago.
What knots do you like for ultra light line
Ray Scott founder of BASS is a huge proponent of ultralight tackle. He's been pushing it for 30 years.
I've never understood why people swap hands after casting. That's something that never crossed my mind to try, yet when I started watching TH-cam videos, it seems very common. I'm a lefty, so I throw with my left hand, and continue to hold the rod in that hand so I have better control, and reel with my right. That's always felt natural to me. I can't wrap my head around swapping hands.
Right!
I love it. People catch 200 lbs tuna on 30 lbs drag reels and gear so ~7x ratio means (theoretically) you could catch a 20lbs bass on 3lbs gear. There's a severe distinction between landing bass and trout though. 2 lbs trout doesn't fight anything close to 2 lbs bass.
More heat than an AZ summer! Grif quit being rude! Lol.
You just fishing for bass, I live in Puerto Rico,we have tarpon and snook in our freshwater,i use a ultralight set up for them and if you think bass is fun try a 20 pound tarpon on a small creek now that's what I call a handful
Now I know what my bass fishing is missing, a groovy sound track.
Now you know! 😂👍
