Bait Finesse Gear ( BFS ), Aluminum Boat, And Shallow Water! Let's Go Bass Fishing!!

We're fishing pressured water during a giant tournament and catching BIG Bass! Come along for a day on the water as we use an aluminum boat to push back into shallow water and escape the crowds of anglers. We use a mix of traditional techniques and "bait finesse" gear to dial in a pattern and catch a bunch of fish!
Bait finesse isn't just a niche that some anglers are implementing. Watch as Matt mixes bait finesse into a regular day of fishing and maximizes his time on the water. If you're not using these methods yet, its okay, you're still on the cutting edge of this fishing style with plenty of time to learn!
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We've included our favorite sizes and colors where applicable as well as some related bait finesse videos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

[@river_sensei]

Just bouth my bfs setup yesterday I cant ask for a better video this morning ❤

[@tacticalbassin]

You're going to love it!

[@tagg946]

i live up here in indiana and bfs is absolutely a game changer around the smaller fish, as a 6-7lber or larger are pretty rare and uncommon here. You guys got me into it and its been a blast, tiny texas rigs, small swimbaits, and micro cranks, it's all so much fun on light tackle, but being able to use a casting settup makes all the difference in efficiency and accuracy. love it.

[@clintonbruning]

Your enthusiasm for bfs inspired me to model my channel and my style of fishing matt. I “power fish” bfs setups pretty much exclusively now. I love catching ALOT of fish when I go out and this has allowed me to do that. Not only that I’ve caught more 5-8 lb largemouth on bfs than I ever did conventional fishing and there’s not a whole lot more exciting thing in bass fishing than fighting a big fish on light tackle. For example my last trip out I had a 2.75” gan craft glide bait, a mini Texas rig, a 1/16 oz jig, and a 1/4 oz crankbait tied on. And I caught a ton of numbers and a 6 lber on the little glidebait. And I also get way more surprise catches of other species fishing the little stuff! I saw your buyers guide vid in December 2021 and have never looked back 🤘🏽

[@tacticalbassin]

Thats awesome!! I'm so glad we were able to inspire you... way to pick it up and run! 👊🏻

[@clintonbruning]

@@tacticalbassin thanks again man. I need to pick up one of the kuryashis

[@Tbowie13]

​@@clintonbruning I think you'd be shocked by the Karashi! I've been out of state for 6 months so I had no clue on patterns. I went out for the first time since I came back 2 days ago. I couldn't get bit on anything. I switched to the Karashi, on a Dobyns Sierra Ultra Finesse and Curado BFS. Started slayin em as soon as the Karashi came out. 8 inches of water, straight retrieve with tiny twitches every 6-7 feet. They'd hit on the twitch or right after when it was sinking a slight bit. Karashi's are expensive (for a tiny little bait) but well worth it.

[@clintonbruning]

@@Tbowie13 i love my dobyns sierras man. By far my favorite combo. I might pick up a Karashi now!

[@c.shoefish]

I personally love the jet boat vids, as I'm sure most of us do. Not everyone can afford a big rigged out glass boat and a set up like this is more in line with what most people (including myself) can afford to do. Also goes to prove you don't need all that fancy stuff to go out and have a blast. I think you should get in contact with the guys at TBN and have them extend the top deck a bit! I always feel like you're gonna slip off that damn thing! Great video guys.

[@tedlincolnsfishinglife]

🖤 what you said about boats, kayaks, bank fishing! All of fishing success has been out of that blue tin boat you seen me in (or a roundabout/kayak) and I never feel held back, instead I’ve felt it has allowed me to fish stuff that others couldn’t…… That said I am adding a bass cat Pantera 2 to my fleet soon 🤫

[@VinceNiergarth]

Great work guys! What a good time!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Vince!

[@gpharned]

Great advice Matt! Be happy with what you have to fish with. I enjoy small creeks over our big busy heavily pressured waters. There’s something to be said about wading, kayaks, canoes etc. Here in MO we have some of the most beautiful ozark waters you can imagine. Things are so expensive we need to get back to basics. Everyone have fishing possible this year!

[@jamesspurlock5136]

Have you tried the 6th sense hyperjerk 70? It’s close to the same as the karashi

[@richardblake4777]

Matt, I used to love to run backwater streams to get away from the crowd. Never found the mother lode but had no competition and piece and quiet. What a great day even though the backwater didn't work out. You have convinced me of BFS so there goes another $400 not including lures. Your videos are so enjoyable and we appreciate TB.

Great video guys! Being a bank angler I have to say he’s right on the $ with the “be happy with what you have “ comment! Tight lines y’all 🎣

Im a bank fisherman and been bfs for about 30 years. I have 2 bps finesse baitcaster reels one is on a 4ft 10 in ec Featherlite with 6lb mono and my other is on a bps 7ft 6in inshore extreme rod with 8lb floro

[@chrisbaldwin7734]

Matt, I love the jet boat! I noticed in the last couple of videos that you added a graph to the front. Would love to hear about the graph and mount. BFS is definitely the future. It harkens back to my childhood when we had small set ups and fished super small baits. We used to throw a Bill Norman quarterback and slayed them.

[@HookLife]

I went down the big bait rabbit hole a few years ago and I love fishing big baits, but the gear often outmatches the fish and for me, that takes some of the fun of fishing out of it. Now catching 5lbers on 6lb line is always fun no matter what. Great video guys

[@Tbowie13]

I like taking my duck boat (with direct drive, no impeller and straight shaft) into skinny skinny water. I was mashing on the Largemouth two days ago in 8 inches of water with the Karashi. I came back to the Carolina's after Momma's passing and was clueless as I'd been in the Ozarks for 6 months. Norman is known for spotted bass, but every skinny water fish I caught on the Karashi was a Largemouth (super silvery with zero markings). I don't like telling everyone about the Karashi, but since we're giving it up, I got all my bites with a slow straight retrieve and then little 6 inch pops thrown in every 6-7 feet. They'd hit it on the pop or the slight drop afterwards. Happy Sunday Matt!

[@gunadoo]

Yay! a new video!!!

[@williamreed6107]

Matt, you've got me digging through my forgotten tackle stashes. For BFS I am using an old All-Star Shrimp Tail Special 7' rod and a CU-100- DSV with ceramic spool bearings, 8# FC. Have a lot of Rick Clunn 0.5 crankbaits, small Spro shallow CB's, etc. Going out today to see if I can have a little fun. Keep the great videos coming!

[@tacticalbassin]

Yes!! That sounds like a good day!!

[@gregchilders7643]

I have a similar setup I have a bps extreme finnesse baitcaster on a 7/6 bps inshore extreme rod with 8lb floro which I have been fishing for about 30 years. It is a blast with them small crankbaits and I also caught my pb last March which weighted 8lbs in a small public pond here in NJ

[@jeffjones9469]

Love the BFS info/videos. I have purchased a budget BFS setup but haven’t used it yet. Your videos are making it hard to keep it in the closet lol.

After the gullywasher I've dealt with, it looks like you're fishing in my back yard. And I'm in CO! Hopefully my truck doesn't get stuck in my front yard trying to get my boat out tonight for a tournament tomorrow (deep, steep, cold canyon reservoir with only smallies)

[@SolidMango-gh3jk]

Strong believer in if not catching. At least it’s super enjoyable exploring unknown water areas. Wildlife and underwater is so beautiful to see and watch.

[@tacticalbassin]

Absolutely! It's a great day on the water whether or not you're catching... but catching sure is nice 😁

Another great video! I was hoping i could get an answer to a quick question; recently caught my first chatterbait fish at Folsom Lake (miss you guys out here!). It was on a minimax using a kitech 3.5 paddle tail as a trailer. I know you're a Spunk Shad guy, so my question is what size spunk shad would you put in the mini max? Would the 3.5 be too small?

[@enonek2960]

Often I see guys a kayak, Aluminum boat, Bass boat, etc...that has access to areas a bank angler can't get to or even find castable shoreline because the bank is steep or tree covered. You just have to make do with what you can access. That last one was a tank!

[@vansaukam799]

​​@@tacticalbassin - yeppers for sure. That Karashi reminds me a lot of the Viva Pencil from the early 2000s, a limited production handmade bait composed of Indonesian balsa wood...I still have a few but I don't use them any longer as these lures are more collectibles now. I used to catch so many shallow water fish of all species erratically twitching/popping that bait. Another overlooked bait is the Beetle Spin type lure, so easy to use and readily available, I just change out the blade to matching Mepps silver French blades as the silver content flashes more white and cuts through dirty and dark water better, along with replacing the factory jighead with a screw lock ~ 1/8 Ned head and thread on simple 2-3" single tail grubs. This is such great cold water early season bait for anything that swims, from panfish to bass to gar and is tons of fun on light spinning and BFS. Once again, excellent work Matt and hopefully we can meet one of these days as I am in Middle Tennessee as well.

[@Mr.Higgs.]

Could you guys explain the reasoning to throw a bait that's 1.5oz heavier than than rod recommendation is? I've seen pros recently go to lighter and smaller rods to throw big swimbaits but always thought the rod wouldn't be able to handle all that.

[@alcav54]

[@tacticalbassin]

[@amorton94]

I want a Megabass Karashi but I'm a cheapass and $18 for one lure, that probably won't even catch me any fish cuz I suck, is a bit steep. Are there any alternatives that a worth a darn? How about the Yo-Zuri Inshore? It looks like a similar profile for half the price.

[@blainebennett3253]

could you use the yamatanuki for bank fishing and what colors would you recomend for bank fishing at ponds

[@tacticalbassin]

100% yes. It's a weedless bait meant to be fished on bottom and casts a mile, it's a perfect bank fishing bait.

[@blainebennett3253]

@@tacticalbassin which yamatanuki colors would be best for pond fishing

[@davidp.6131]

Which situations or techniques do you consider it an advantage to use spinning over BFS? My spinning arsenal keeps shrinking as I apply BFS to more and more presentations. The main advantages to spinning that still exist are line capacity, drag refinement, and possibly the way the rod and line can be held in your finger tips for better sensitivity. Again, just wondering where you still consider spinning gear a must over BFS.

[@tacticalbassin]

Spinning has had a lot more time to be refined. We've already arrived at a place where you can choose BFS for every finesse application but we're still some years of rod development away from having "perfect rods" for dropshot, spybait, hair jig, etc. Spinning still has a ton of niche applications covered much better than BFS... but I think they'll be equal in the future.

How would you say the cashion 7 ft light compares to the Dobyns Sierra 700C? That's what I'm currently using for BFS but I'm trying to decide between the two cashions.

I'd say it's similar in action but a noticeable jump up in sensitivity. If you want differentiation in your line go with the shorter medium heavy.
