#bassfishing #review #bfs
Welcome back to tactical bassin' grab a shovel cause we're going in deep
😂😂😂
And your credit card lol
@@johnmango6056 lately everything is on backorder! Or it is right after they post! 😂🤙
Lol and your wallet
Oh shut someone already said credit card 😹
Wow. I’m surprised bfs is finally going to the us! We’ve been using bfs here in Japan for almost 10 years now.
You forgot the reason why bfs came into existence in the first place. You could cast a 2g lure with a spinning rod but at most you’re probably stuck using 3lb fc at most with those weights. But with bfs you can cast something that light with something like 6~8lbs fc which is perfect when a fish is deep in the brush, weeds etc
And you’re exactly right. Bfs used to be expensive to get into out here. A custom Shimano setup used to be about 500usd or so for like a metanium customized by ktf for example. A daiwa t3 air used to be a little more even. Maybe about 6 or 7 years ago we started getting more budget reels in bfs. Glad you guys are going to see these now.
One thing when setting a bfs for casting the cast control knob shouldn’t be doing much really. We tighten our reels down so that the spool barely moves side to side. There is very little if any pressure onto the spool shaft. All the control comes from the brake settings and good thumbing. That will allow you to get the absolute most from a bfs reel.
First. Thank you guy's for all you do for the community. Keeping us informed and ready to go out and have the best chance to catch fish. 🎣🔥
I absolutely love the giggle every time you cast that reel. When you're that impressed, I think the rest of us need to take note.
YESSS I knew there was no way Matt and Tim would be skipping out on BFS! I really hope y’all get some BFS videos out in those Tennessee rivers and streams.
Hey Matt Scott from northern cal.ive been watching T.B.. for over 5 years now,big thanks to you and tim,what, you have created is thoroughly enjoyed by so many,I've put more tips into practice, that I've gained from you guys,thank u
Just ran across this video. I picked up a Curado BFS and it is the most fun reel I own. It’s not the smoothest, or quietest reel I own, but it flat out launches the light stuff.
Hands down the most fun set up I have regardless of fish size.
Glad yall are starting to get on the bfs train
KimTheGodson would say BFS is foken LIT
$64 for a lure?
When you go fishing, snag and lose your $64 lure and don't catch any fish. :-(
@@ericlogan6159 that was the swimbait not the bfs reel, and that’s a good price for a swimbait
@@jamesh7469 yeah, reel yes, $43 lure no
I've been puttin off buying a spinning reel for years because I only like baitcasters so this video was perfectly timed since I finally had a spinning reel picked out and was gonna bite the bullet and get one
Hey man! Me and my brother just picked up a pair of your polarized sunglasses! Super pumped to try them out!
Let us know how works
@@kolczatr337 will do 👍
Just got some too and love them!!
@@toddandpamhittle4773 sick!
In Germany we are lucky to have the Aldebaran BFS and the Expride BFS (3.5 - 10g). Extremely in love with this combo.
I had to import both to the states, but yes, I too love this combo
I have a first generation Daiwa Tatula rod. 6'11" , 3-10# line, 1/64 -1/4. This is my micro jig rod. Daiwas only rod with the same specs now is a Steez SVF AGS. This is not a panfish or ultra light rod. The action is extra fast with a solid backbone. I am surprised at how few rods like this are part of manufacturers US lineup. You can find plenty in Japan.
Sounds like an amazing stick! That would be really, really fun to fish with!
Watching gear reviews from Matt and Tim always results in me purchasing more gear. Great video as always.
Love having yalls videos playing in the truck on the way to the ramp. Just puts me in a good mindset. Thanks for y’all’s dedication to the community guys!
How did you just sell me a color from 1 second of looking at it! My goodness that is going to be a killer, river smallies too! Great review always exciting to see a new tactical video and these gear reviews are some of the best
😲 OMG! I am soooooo going to inquire about the finesse baitcast reel! I have a RVING friend who's job it is to product test for SHIMANO. He's been doing this for over 35 years as a premium prerelease tester. Well, I'm calling him today to get some additional skinny on that reel. It's a bit more expensive than I would normally spend BUT 😅 just the thought of a dedicated baitcaster for finesse fishing tiny soft baits THRILLS ME to my core! WOW 👏 BRAVO FOR SPEAKING TO THIS TOPIC AND ESPECIALLY ABOUT THAT BAITCASTER 👏!
Savage Gear has really been stepping their game up.
Savage Gear could have been where they are now 10 years ago if only they would have subbed to Tactical Bassin’ in the beginning.
They probably thought we were talking about “Rudd Fish” just like Japan. (Ruddleston Deluxe???)
I purchased the Dobyns Ultra Finesse SA 700C in February ,paired it with a JDM Daiwa Alphas Air TW . I throw 1/16oz to 1/8oz hair jigs for river Smallmouth and absolutely love the combination. The Dobyns rod has an extremely thin solid tip that loads up effortlessly to bomb 1/8oz jigs. At an MSRP of $179 , the Dobyns rod is a fantastic value and I wouldn't change a thing in the design. Heck, the first fish I caught on it was a 10lb , 32 inch Northern Pike. I needed the backbone and it has it, yet makes a 1 lb smallmouth feel twice its size.
Been into BFS for about a year now and I'm loving it. My favorite setup so far is a 1/16th 2/0 finesse jig with a 2" Tiny Paca Chunk. Hauled in a nice 3lb bass on it last week. Also, for those who want to try this on a budget, Shimano has a $50 rod called the Sensilite. It makes a great entry level BFS rod.
I can definitely confirm the longevity of that maxquatro. I have 6 reels spooled up with 30 and 65lb for the last 2 years with zero issues.
Isn't that amazing?! HUGE cost savings over constantly respooling fluorocarbon.
Yes it is brother, I'm glad you guys introduced me to it a few years back. It's absolutely amazing braid.
power pro really works, ive had the same 20 lb line on my spinning settup for over a year now, fishing atleast a few times a week. its tough as nails.
YES!! Thank you Matt for shining the light on BFS! I have been trying out some of the budget options from China here in the clear waters of Ontario and it makes a huge difference. I always had more fun with baitcasters and it gave me the option to go ultra finesse when it is needed. I really hope it gains more popularity here in America so we get more easily attainable options. Thank you again Matt!
Matt, I was at Ollies Bargain Outlet one day and they had a whole box full of Z-Craws. Found 4/20, Black/Blue, and Black Flash and got 20+ packs of each for $1.35 a pack
Love BFS! I run a JDM Shimano Aldebaran BFS 31 XG on a 1 power MB Destroyer Elese using 4 lb FC. From panfish to bass, so freakin fun!!
I think I commented asking for a braided line breakdown, not sure if you saw that but this was perfect thanks!
Thumbs up for the BFS content. I imported a zodias BFS rod from Japan with an Aldebaran BFS. Perfect combo
Old18 makes a couple amazing 1/32oz, 1g baitcaster rods. Ohh and dude, you are sooo good at this, gadzooks!
Fresh Video! Love baitcasters and BFS!
I just picked up the curado 70 MGL paired it with a levante jerkbait special absolutely incredible! Have learned so much from this channel over the past few years! Thank you guys for putting out so many great videos 👍
The Largo Shad is FIRE!
Thanks Matt and Tim. I've totally up'd my game thanks to your recommendations. Caught big ones recently and a huge limit today.
BFS is not new, but finally you guys get into what took you guys so long, I'm using for over 7 years ago
Man you guys are getting ridiculous with those underwater bait shots. Incredible video quality!
Great informational video.
I've been hooked on BFS lures, super light rods and reels . I use 2 or 3 inch 1/8, 1/16 oz lures with 6 -8 lb fluorocarbon almost exclusively. The only lure heavier I use is 3/8 oz spinnerbait or 1.5, 2.5 square bill. I use ultra lightweight Phenix rods ,6'9" and 7'2"with Shimano Aldeberan, lews SLP with fantastic success. While almost all the fisherman are throwing the same lures here in southern California lakes, I stay tiny. Caught 1000's fish with 7 lb biggest so far.
Good gear review Matt. Also the largo shad was designed so you can cut the connecting piece on the bottom side of the tail to get more kicking action if you wished.
Now this is how you do a tutorial! I was torn between the Bantam MGL and the Curado BFS but this dude convinced me, BFS all the way! Light mono and light lures is my style and the BFS will be perfect. Thanks for the excellent review!
That curado BFS will be killer for spybaits! No more need to worry about line twist using straight fluoro on spinning tackle!
Been running my drop shot and ned rigs on a kastking zephyr for a few years. Super affordable reel. It can even cast those little trout magnet baits.
Been using curado 70 for all small lures from waitless worm to tiny poppers
They have the sensilite too. I love that rod, super affordable and it catches fish.
Got into BFS last year.
Here is a log entry on my Best Day Ever! I rode out to a Midwest stream on my Harley, threw on waders, tramped to a stream I had fished a few time before and had fun. Note: Less than ten smallmouth bass were over 2 lbs.
9/5/2020, Labor Day Weekend, Saturday: Fish Fished 5 hours with 30 minute break. 94 smallmouth caught using St. Croix 7’ Light Action, Extra Fast Tip, 2-piece Trout Rod, Shimano Aldebaran BFS Reel, 4# White Berkley Nano-fil and 12’ of 8# Flouralcarbon Leader. Primary lure was 1/4 oz. (6 g) Panther Martin Fly Spinner Number 6 (Gold Blade, yellow wire red dots body, brown w/red hair in treble hook). Used a silver Panther Martin Fly Spinner with the same colors with good results but just like gold better. Water was 8”-3’ deep for the main holes and lure would just tick rocks. Raised rod getting more line out of the water for lure to run in skinny areas. Even caught small bass in slots in fast moving water areas. North pool was highly productive with 40+ bass caught in two hours.
Equipment setup worked crazy well again as there was no time lost in opening a spinning bail, casting and then closing the bail. I could fancast, hitting the rocks just below the surface and repeat along the shoreline. Just gave the fish multiple angles quickly. Downfall is casting distance which I estimate at 60’.
Other downfall is that the Light Action rod makes it a little difficult to set the hook if the hook is large. With bass size worm hooks, it is best to lower the rod to waist high as I set the hook, hold the rod close to the body and rotate away from the fish keeping a heavy load on the rod. This assures a deep hookset.
Be well and fun to see interest in the BFS game.
I have 6lb 131 on my BFS setup with 4lb co-poly leaders. Really like the 131 can throw light stuff so far.
The Exsense DC has that drag sound too, it’s great for live lining and bottom contact
Dammit, I need that BFS rod and reel combo. I love finesse fishing. It must be in your blood when you are born in Michigan. I like spinning gear, but the ability to throw straight 8lb fluoro (which is a nightmare trying to do so on spinning gear) sounds like a dream come true.
Give the Curado or SLX MGL a try. Threw a Ned rig on 6# fluoro last year without any issues.
@@helotaxi I will look into those. So far I like how versatile they claim to be. I love my SLX DC reels, but they do still struggle with lighter baits.
Thanks Matt. A Curado BFS and Zodias will be in my boat soon spooled with 6 lb FC.
I've been throwing 1/10th oz ned rigs on a Broken in Dobyns Fury 7'0 MH/Fast with a Tatula SV TW for years ;) and now the Shimano Scorpion 17 with a Shimano Poison Adrena. I also throw 3/16oz weighted drop shots on the Shimano. I love it. Hardly have a reason for a spinning reel at all at this point.
Daiwa has had BFS reels here for years. The original sv 103 and 105 to the new Zillions and Alphas are all BFS usable and some are great at it. Thanks for the info, and I really like the channel, but Shimano is not the only reel company.
Not sure if you guys have used them but the SLX glass rod also comes in a medium light at 6'10" and it is obviously more budget-friendly. Obviously more geared toward moving baits being glass but same bait weight specifications and a bit shorter!
Love me some gear talk! 🔥
You guys need to check out the SixGill Hamarr reel... talk about minimal back lashing on the little stuff
Great info as always. TB tips this spring are paying off. We went “up north” (south for us) a little too early a couple weeks ago. Might go again in a couple weeks. Caught my pb smallie couple weeks ago on our home lake and catching some chewing this spring.:fun start already. Love TB!
Largo shad....like the old berkley flatbacks...same shad profile, glad I have like 30 packs of various colors that I bought before they discontinued them
Great review!!! I was looking for a kayak reel for small water smallmouth fishing. The curado bfs sounds perfect! You guys are the best!!!!
I just got a bfs combo 2 weeks ago and thought I was ahead since my friends had never even heard of bfs and now this vid, there goes my upper hand this summer lol great vid like always tho!
Awesome vid as always guys!
Great vid as always. Love'em, keep it up. Watched for a second time last night. You get excited about what you do, shows your passion. Tip from me to you. One of the top WFL pros, sponsored by Storm, said to cut the "bridge" off that goes from the tail to the paddle on the bottom of the Largo Shad. Gives the paddle tail a different action, sometimes they like it better. Also, you talked about coloring your line with a marker. Try the Milwaukee brand of markers, on your baits too. Come in black, red, and blue. At Home Depot for 99 cents. Those things will write on air, color last a long time.
Great video! I got my iPhone's notes app out and was taking detailed notes. That Shimano reel was impressive!
Welcome to 15 years ago TB on BFS reels..😂🤪 Fun way to fish for sure..😈👊🏼💪🏽 first reach into the US BFS market was the Daiwa Pixy type R that came out 10 years ago roughly..😎😉 The curado BFS should be a winner..
as a dobyns guy i'd love to try the Curado BFS with the Sierra Ultra Finesse Casting series, sounds like a great combo for finesse casting!
Bfs is going to be a lot of fun
can't wait to try josh's new bait down here! also love to get a bfs set for rainbow soon!
Whenever I think I’m done buying tackle...you come along with another gear review vid. Thanks...I think...lol
Heyyy! Great video! This stuff was really interesting. Keep up the good work!
You should get the Shimano Aldebaron BFS and the G Loomis Ex6 MagLight extra fast 7'1" deadly setup for finesse fishing.
You all should really try Daiwa JX8 braid, nothing beats it, even the two you mentioned don't even come close to Daiwa.
That little storm swimbait should be awesome for smallmouth. I'd love to try that with an okashira head.
I like them a lot. They are very durable. I used the 3inch in pearl on a 1/4 to 3/8 oz head over the weekend on the TN river. My new favorite small swimbait.
This might slightly long, but.... I have fallen in love with the savage gear wedge tail, I use the same pattern you showed here in a 6" 8" and 10" for bass and pike up here in Montana, about perfectly matches silver Kokanee salmon, this is the first year I have really gotten into soft swimbaits, haven't been able to afford a Huddleston, and not sure about slinging that out in front of a 20+ lb pike, they have the tendency to shred soft baits, I have been having some difficulty with hook sets, I fish them low, dredging cause waters crystal clear and still pretty cold in the range of low to mid 50 degrees, I'm using a Curado 301e on a 8' medium heavy fast action rod (6" and 8" SG wedges) 65 lb braid, and a 80 lb mono leader (so pike don't bite them off) when I get hit, it's a solid thunk, but when I swing, nothing, I'm not sure if what I'm feeling is them dropping it vs them biting, no doubt the fish absolutely love these baits, I've been able to watch a ton of big bass chasing but haven't had the chance to watch one tag it, (clear water problems, if you can see the bass, they see you and 90% of the time won't bite) I'm comfortable throwing big baits on my set-up, and fish similar style to Matt in regards to hauling the fish up and not playing the fish, it's stick, grind hard and land, i have landed countless 6+ lb bass and 20+ lb pike on giant hard baits (like the rapala glidin raps R.I.P. 😭) and big glide baits (most lures were between 2 and 6 ounces and the setup handle them great, my 10" and bigger I have a heavier rod I use) I've watched pretty much every video you guys have made on the Huddleston and other soft swimbaits, I'm 100% new to these baits, its frustrating, in the past two days I've missed...... 15 fish.... At least, I'm fishing from the bank 99% of the time, adding to the challenge, trying to get these dialed in and build more confidence in the lures, (I'm getting hit, so I know they work the fish want to eat them) just not sure why I'm missing so many fish,(so far every fish that's hit) I've tried everything I can think of,
I just got the Suffix 131 and used it for the first time yesterday. I really like it.
In addition to the Dobyn's Sierra UL, give the Phenix Recon Elite Light power rods a try. Very similar specs to the Dobyn's and both make the ML Shimano rods seem like pool cues. I like that the Phenix have a little more backbone but still a really soft tip that loads well with light baits. Been using them for several years with a handful of older Daiwa SV JDM reels that tease the BFS realm (SV105 and SV103SS) as well as a Scorpion BFS.
Hey not sure if this will find you Matt and Tim but I got great news I got my first jig fish on Saturday using the double hop like you guess we're talking about in passed videos!!! It's also the second biggest I've ever caught at 3 1/2 pounds which is pretty big for massachusetts!
Thats awesome! Congratulations!!
@@tacticalbassin I love what you guys do!
Curious of your thoughts/review of the new Dobyns Sierra Ultra Finesse Casting Rods for BFS
We haven't tried it yet but it's on the radar 👍
I’ve got that one, the tip is soooo thin…but it’s great. I also have some ul majorcraft and old18, they’re all really nice. It’s wonderful finessing with casters.
Been waiting on my Curado BFS FOREVER for me to get to do a review series. Looking to use it for BFS such as trout and panfish along with bass on light gear.
You need to try the dobyns sierra 700 bfs rod and an aldebaran bfs...
My favorite is the 6'10" med light Zodias with SLX 70 mgl 15lb braid to 10lb leader throwing 2.8 keitechs. Man does that combo do work for me. Always have it ready.
Never miss a gear review 🤟🏻
I've been getting in to buying JDM reels. Have a Scorpion MGL, which is basically a Curado K with an MGL spool. They also sell Scorpion BFS reels as well as SLX BFS. The SLX is only around 190 USD from the usual JDM sites like Digitaka and Japanlureshop.
Here we go again...... Thanks a lot, Matt.
It's that time of year again I have to convince my wife that buying more fishing gear is NEEDED. Maybe make a video on some unique arguments because I am honestly running out and she is going to catch on.
Hey man! My girlfriend that works at howling dog cafe in lakeport told me you stop by from time to time! Little did she know that I’m a big fan! Hope to see you some time soon in Clearlake!
Ok, now that we have med light power baitcaster, im waiting for the x heavy spinning tackle just for the funny factor
Dude, I'm loving the BFS review. I used a quantum accurist pt (baitcaster)with 8lb Copolymer and a medium lightning rod throwing 1/6th oz ned rigs up on the Clark Fork in Idaho in December and slayed the trout. Caught a 6lb Rainbow and a bunch of browns and Cutthroat. Caught a nice brown on a 8th oz VMC moon eye and a perch 2.8 keitech too. So fun.
The spool on that accurist is super heavy too. Like almost 20gs I think. The newer accurate pt s3 has an 11g spool and $100. Anyway...
I'm definitely checking out that Curado BFS! AWESOME VIDEO
Dude SavageGear is *not* messing around. I've been really impressed with their offerings over the past two years. Top notch!
Thanks for sharing love the BFS reel.
beautiful shot of the bait swimming
always love the gear review!! thanks for the info!!
Some folks like to fish Trout on BFS with custom rod
If y'all do a Michigan trip. Stop and check out Torch lake. Especially if you want under water footage.
You should do a video on the Shimano Zodias rods, favorite models etc with the remake. There is so little information about them because they're so new!
The new daiwa zillion has a clicking drag as well. Check it out!
Maxcuatro all day long, hands down worth paying for it. I’ll have give 131 a shot, I use jbraid or spiderwire ultracast which I don’t have the confidence in them as maxcuatro lbs vs lbs.
Never thought I’d see you review a bfs reel
leaving the powerpro on for 2-3 years completely surprised me. I thought youd say "months" MAYBE. that makes me feel better
I’ve gotta say, once you review, recommend, and link anything in your videos, it’s SOLD OUT 🙀😂🙀😂😂🤷🏻♂️✊ I’m Happy for your success and my comments are always with Great Respect ✊ 🎣🍀🎣
Nice review on the Curado BFS! I have been slangin down on slot/bull reds, specks and flounder on the Aldebaran BFS. I am sure that the Curado is gonna slam!
Awesome stuff as always!!!
Shimano came out with an SLX BFS reel. Don’t know if they’ll release it in the US market. I will say the SLX MGL 70 while not BFS, is a phenomenal reel for $149. Awesome video
Is north Carolina, north enough... I dream of one day fishing with you guys. I actually prefer Matt's description but Tim, I love both you guy's channel lol I just have to be sure somehow my God brother, and my God son get to see the video on youtube. Cause my family already picks at me about how I capture the justice of how big and beautiful each largemouth bass is in my photos, not sure about spotted bass, but I know I've never caught a small mouth.
I just got a bass pro gift card for my birthday. Was unsure what I would buy with it... then I got this notification and.... gift card gone. Thanks for the great reviews!
How did you end up getting a Curado BFS from Tackle Warehouse? I been waiting and I had my preorder in right away?
BFS has been here already with a large number of reels from China, Now Shimano. Lews, Diawa all are coming out with there iterations. The question regarding the Chinese reels is durability but they also are less than one hundred bucks and function well
I recommend to use less than 1/2oz baits with Curado BFS.
In exchange for castability ,spool is vulnerable to ordinaly reels.
By Scorpion BFS (Curado BFS's Japanese variant) user from Japan.
I agree the maxquatro is better than the v2 slick i used to use that is grwat also but it frays by tbe hook alot
