In this video, BFS Academy: How to Bait Finesse Cast Light Lures in Stream, Hobie-Wan Kenobi will assist anglers of all levels gain skill casting ultralight lures with bait finesse gear. Most of the casting in this video is directed toward stream anglers. Hobie-Wan Kenobi will go over how to execute the three most commonly used bait finesse casting techniques, as well as methods to make your lure land softer in the water, spooking less trout.
Backhand Cast: Personal favorite of Hobie-Wan Kenobi and most versatile of the three. Casting across your body puts the tip of the rod closer to the angler and lessen the chance of snagging cover while casting. The rod being closer to the body also helps the angler be more consistent. This method also can be the start of skipping BFS lures.
Modified/Vertical Backhand: Commonly used by Hobie-Wan Kenobi when fishing in streams with heavy brush and cover on the shore. This technique allows the angler to greatly reduce the chance of snagging shoreline cover at the expense of distance. This method is easy than the flip cast usually seen by Angler Saito (Enjoy Fishing Channel). This technique is harder to master but, is very useful for the bait finesse anger fishing from shore.
Forehand Cast: Most common casting motion and usually the go-to technique for many BFS anglers. The Forehand is the easiest transition from traditional bass style baitcasting to BFS casting. The Forehand allows the angler to fast the furthest and also allows the greatest range of motion during and after the cast.
Trout can be difficult to catch with lures. The main factor is that the angler often causes too loud of a splash when the lure makes contact with the water. This video covers techniques to lessen the impact of your lure hitting the water, resulting in less spooked trout. Using the rod tip and also your thumb as a brake are the easiest way to reduce spooking trout while casting lures.
Hobie-Wan Kenobi decided to create this BFS Academy series to help anglers gain skills to become successful bait finesse stream anglers. Casting ultralight lures with a baitcasting reel can be challenging. Hobie-Wan Kenobi will try his best to get you casting light lures with a baitcaster as stress free as possible.
