My First Experience With BFS Fishing (MULTIPLE BIG BASS!)

- BFS, or Bait Finesse Style, is something I am completely new to! I have been using traditional casting & spinning gear for years but I kept hearing more and more about BFS recently so I had to give it a shot. Fortunately, after putting a post out on social media, I heard from a couple of YOU!
Micah sold me this Shimano Aldebaran BFS XG / Shimano Sensilite combo. Mark sold me a Fishband GH100. Both of these setups are going to be EXCELLENT! I want to eventually get a 5 - 6' Ultralight Casting Rod for the Fishband. I will likely get it on Aliexpress at some point. Stay tuned for that.
Clearly, based on the multiple big bass I caught in this video, you can see that I am going to like BFS very much! Honestly, I am super stoked about the fact that I am actually an ambidextrous angler and was able to switch effectively to a LH reel. Stay tuned for more Bait Finesse Style in the future!

As you all know, I am really trying to embrace light line fishing. BFS will be another part of that. Ultralights are extremely fun too, so they will definitely not be replaced anytime soon :D

At 6:20 , that was so cool how the bass just kinda sat there for a second after shaking the hook, and then took off like a rocket!
Bass definitely know how to fight and shake a hook man. They learn at a young age haha, even the dinkers :)
ESPECIALLY SMALLJAWS as you know :)
Hey Ethan, today is the first chance I've had to watch your latest video. The commute from my couch to my kitchen is getting crazy. In fact, there was a two-cat pile up yesterday that delayed my arrival. It was pretty serious too; the black one rolled over, and the grey one was leaking gas.
Hahahahahahaa
Michael Fischer That is FUNNY!
Be well.
Hey there. I absolutely love your channel. And personally looking foward to see you use more of this type of BFS setup. Im also trying to start BFS myself and would love to learn more from your channel. 🤘
Heck yeah! Thank you for the kind words :)
I will definitely be doing more BFS so stay tuned. I look forward to learning together!
I found your channel about a week ago and I've been looking into building a BFS rod (I usually build fly rods) and you upload this video. Thanks for the vid!
Haha that is awesome! Sounds like we can learn BFS together :D
I love the new species you caught, the SIRLOIN BEEF BASS!!!🐮🎣🤠
Lol it is my favorite type of bass :)
This is great man. Just started doing some pond ned rig fishing myself, right there in the fun zone with you. Even if they are 1-#ers or less, going out and catching 4, 5, 6+ fish at a time is a good time. I was thinking about jumping in myself.
Love it! Ned Rig is my go-to technique. It flat out catches fish :D #NedRig4Life
I started watching this yesterday stopped because I was on my way to the lake and after fighting the snags barely getting my crankbait back I changed spots them blew my line up in one of my favorite light line set ups.... Got a few bites fingers went numb went home with some work to do.
So decided it was time I watched this but hey even though I missed your live the other night that's when I caught that donkey with my daughter to seen on Instagram lol
It's been a crazy week dude can't wait to see you use these baitcasters more!!!
Haha sounds like you had a heck of a time! Always happy to hear from you and others about your trips / adventures. Sometimes they can be tough XD but that is just the reality of it!
Keep up the BFS content! Love it.
Heck yeah I will definitely be posting more BFS content in the future!
I just ordered my first BFS setup, the Shimano Sensilite and the KastKing Zephyr BFS. I love my Ultralight spinning combo
Niiiiiiice that will be a fun setup!
I’ve got a Tsurinoya dark wolf ultra that has a clicker drag and it’s really great. Cast super light lures with no issues!
Awesome! I have heard good things. Tight lines man :)
Great video Ethan! If you decide to put the Exciting Drag Sound (Clicker) in your Aldebaran can you share the installation with us! Thanks and stay healthy your extra videos helps a lot!
Definitely will get it eventually! Sounds like a good video idea :D
The Aldebaran BFS does have a click drag. At least the '16 version. BFS with Ned rig... perfect together.
Yeah this is the 12 and it doesn't. I WISH I had that 16 :D
I can’t wait to see this in person this summer
Heck yessssss :)
Loving the bfs!
Same here! Can't wait to peg some creek smallies on it :)
i'm considering going lefthanded baitcaster. it seems more logical, using two hands is not optional, but with right hand you cast with one hand then pass the rod to the other to free of the right hand again for reeling, which is a step you skip with a left hand caster., cast right, reel left. the clicker in a reel (well actually ther is normally two, one for when you turn the knob and one for when it feeds out line (both tend to just be little metal tabs that makes a noise with no actual contribution to the function.
I tried it for a while but ultimately switched back to RH retrieve. I just didn’t have the muscle memory lefty to get good at the coordination of retrieves.
Definitely a future purchase for me! I have a bfs reel but no rod for it yet so I just use it for small jerkbaits!
You should definitely pick up a little UL casting rod. I hear the shakespeare microcasting rods actually work well. I might get one eventually.
Moving up from dinks today! Awesome vid!
Total DONKAGE!
I have a budget Tsurinoya set up and a couple of ebay bfs rods...of course one is around 5ft! Had lots of fun with it last year
I have been eyeballing the Kuying Teton but I might honestly just pick up a cheap spincast rod and call it good for now
I like the way that combo looks. I definitely would need a right hand reel. Take Care.
It is performing better than I expected. And it got me some nice ones so I would say it has JUJU
Love that sensilite rod. I need to put another reel back on it.
Darn right you do! This thing is solid!
Just got the scorpion bfs xg it has clicking drag can't wait to try it out good show
Dude that will be an awesome reel! Have fun!
oh man, I've been wantin' to get into bfs for a few years now, I have so so many micro-cranks/spinners/jiggers/spoonies that I throw for the creek smallies and pond pickerel here, betchu 1/16th oz Bittzy Bug jigs would feel and work just great on that setup... . . . oh, _delicious native brookies on a 7ft casting combo!!_ too bad it's just so damn friggin' cost-prohibitive.
Yeah it ain't cheap but it will be super fun! I will let you know how the Fishband performs. Definitely a budget-friendly reel and you could pair it with a Shakespeare MicroCasting rod!
@@FishAnything Fishband, is that a bfs reel?? do up a review vid of it if you didn't have that lined up yet yo! I have so many micro jerks that'd do great on a bfs combo, I even have 4 different discontinued Diablo D-Devils that just shine in the summertime pools'n'eddies, ohhhhh man, just thinking about a Trout Magnet Hellgrammite 1/16th power-shotting rigged on a bfs...
My top two PBs are on BFS and I just started with BFS.
Awesome!!
Welcome to the BFS world! Btw they do make clicker drags for that reel.
I definitely need to look into one of those! And thank you very much :)
Let's go!👊🏾
:D
That was pretty outstanding. I haven't used a baitcaster since I started Ned riggin', but this might win me back. My only concern is trying to throw something that light into the wind with a revolving spool. Sounds like a recipe for turning your line into a giant tumbleweed. Also, can I justify investing in yet another rod and reel? I await your next BFS adventure. Thanks for this one.
I will be doing lots of BFS adventures in the future so stay tuned! It handled pretty well and there was a bit of wind this day. I think that it is really advantageous for fishing around cover and whatnot just because you increase accuracy. Open water bass such as this trip probably not necessary. But definitely fun!
If u don't like the reels,ill buy them from you, bad ass video
They have so much JUJU I have to hold on to them :D
Thank you!
Team Dink cashin in on some Donk action! Nice bass dude!
TEAM DONK! :D thanks Tyler!
I might get this Shimano Alderbaran in the future. I bought that Tsurinoya XF50 reel and matched it to a KastKing 6' UL rod. I like the combo but @raWr Fishing did a video with this combo and had some reliability issues with the reel (slippage). I have one left hand retrieve reel (frog rod) and it's definitely odd for me. I can do it but its weird. Spinning reels on the other hand, I like a left hand retrieve. You caught some nice bass out there with the BFS and it paired well the Ned rig. I'll have to try this. Ugh, so much to do....can we put more time in the day?
1) I love how much you just binge watched my videos. TH-cam algorithm might finally reward my channel thanks to you hahaha
2) I have heard good things about that reel for the price but to your point, who knows if it will last. The Aldebaran 12 BFS XG is definitely a solid pickup and it isn't quite as pricey as some of the higher end Aldebarans. I would recommend it for sure.
3) if you ever figure out a way to put more time in the day, I will pay you a lot for that haha
Cool video -- how long did you make the 8# leader? I worry about fish seeing high viz braid, but I want to use it.
I usually do a 7 foot leader and fish it down to 3 feet or so then I retie a new one.
Cool -- Thanks @@FishAnything !
I like that!!!
The fish did too XD these reels got JUJU!
BFS fishing is super fun but you want to probably use lighter line. That 15 braid could possibly deform the spool if you try to horse a fish in or pull off a snag
Yeah I was thinking the same. Might throw some 6# nanofil on there!
I just into BFS and its so much fun. I hated that I could only throw big baits on my old bait caster and now I don't have to. my old Daiwa is in retirement lol.
Haha love it! I like all types of fishing but BFS is definitely special. Super fun to finesse fish with a casting reel 🤠
EPIC!!!!
Got me some juicies!
Ok, real question. How do you know if a reel is BFS?
@@johnhanes3450
shallow spool with bearing & brake below 9 gram
Great video! Sounds like your "hooked" now 😁👍
Uhhh yeah BFS for life
Hey bro, the newer aldebaran bfs has a drag clicker. And I think you can order one for that model.
Yeah my friend Bob mentioned that as well. I am definitely going to look into this mod!
Always wanted a BFS setup
I never knew I wanted one until I got these lol
nice
Thanks :)
Old vid, but the 12 aldebaran is my favorite bfs reel of all time.
Such a good reel. Big fan!
Maybe use one for pan fish? Seems like a good idea
Definitely! I have a 4'10 UL with 4# monofilament which will be a panfish killa!
It means bait finesse system not style sorry I am a big bfs nerd just had to correct it
Yeah I keep doing that. I go back and forth and say system one time and style the next. I think it is because I am involved in some facebook pages that call it style on there. Thanks for clarifying! Feel free to drop tips in comments on these videos anytime. I am trying to learn and could definitely use your "BFS nerd" advice haha
I don't like calling it BFS sounds too close to BS. So I prefer Ultralight Baitcasing. UB for short. :)
@0:40 you can slow a spin casting set up down just take a bit of practice, about as much as learning to bait cast. Also the jury is still out on the whole cast right, reel left on bait casting rigs; personally I run either or depending on if I’m jigging/fineness fishing or cranking hard plastics, spinners, etc.
I feel like I’d get better blank contact and leverage with lighter baits with a spinning setup, especially with light/ultralight, but who knows, don’t knock it till ya try it ;) Also who was staring at you at 8:49? Creepppy maaan
Yeah I definitely think that this won’t replace my spinning setups by any means. That said, it’s super fun to fish with and very precise. I believe that they are similar but if you want a better drag system, go spinning. If you want potentially better accuracy, go BFS. 🤷🏼♂️ I’ll have to keep experimenting!
And that was my friend Jacob hahaha
Looking at a nice spin cast panfish rod for my dad. Don’t want one too noodly. Would you say this or the 6’6 ultralight? I know you may not have tried that but based on the feel on this if you think it’s worth going down to the 6’6 UL.
Yeah the 7' Sensilite is more of a bass stick. For panfish, I definitely agree that a 6'6 UL would be better!
Are all of your spinning reels right handed?
You can adjust them but yes I currently use them with my RH!
awesome video. Try the kyung teton on aliexpress. $57-59 6'3 ul
Literally have been eyeing the Tetons. I imagine I will buy one eventually!
Interesting....
And juicy too
What was the weight of the jig head?
1/16oz
Light action? Dint you mean power?
Correct!
I use my left hand when reeling in. I think if I were to use right it would. E weird. All my life I have been fishing left. I cast out right handed and reel in left
Yeah it ain't easy to switch but I think I will get the hang of it :)
I'm right handed and fish left, it keeps you from switching hands after every cast. It also lets you set the hook and fight the fish with your stronger arm.
Lefty 4 life!
Ambidextrous for life!
once you in, you hardly go back.. it just never enough lol
Haha yeah I can already tell it will be an addicting way to fish!
Big mama drama 😂
It was a very dramatic situation featuring a big mama, ok? XD
@@FishAnything lmk if you wanna collaborate on some shirts for BMD.
Buy the drag kit for 40 on ebay.
I will definitely need to do that!
BFS = Bait Finesse System
Oh dang - I see a green meanie in that thumbnail...
Got a few of them green meanies :D
@@FishAnything I saw that last night - what a good day man, good for you!
I like to think that BFS means big freaking spool because the spool is so large. Lol
Haha okay that works too Frank! XD
I like this
Bro go back here !!!!!
Maybe one of these days!
Fisherman nowadays fish like they're in a flw tour but forgot how to have fun with a casting rod and a reel all of them want to horse a fish to the bank as fast as possible and then say nice fight when in reality the poor fish don't have a break 😂😂😂,now catch the same fish with 6 pounds line and a really thin rod then you got a fight and if you want to make it more interesting use single barbless hooks the you really have to have skills
Darn right! I love fishing with ultralight gear for this exact reason!
I don’t know how to tell you this E, but that’s a fish, not beef. Beef comes from cows.
It sure felt like a big ol' slab of beef though Tyler!
Not a fan of baitcassters. I don’t get why people spend twice as much for baitcasters than spinning reels.
So many personal preferences in this sport! Just gotta use what you love :)
@@FishAnything I agree!
