I like a roll cast from the side for light lures. I have a medium fast baitcaster setup specifically for light lures,weightless baits, and other finesse stuff like shaky head,mojo rig,and even dropshots. I have 14lbs sea guard invisX and it works great for anything 1/8 ounce or above. It’s like a bfs but a little heavier

[@TackleJunky81]

Right on buddy! 👊

Great information for everyone who fish with bait casting! Always enjoy watching your videos! How is big Shir able to cast light lures on casting light lures on baitcasting?

Great info!! What line diameter would you suggest is the ideal diameter to cast the lighter lures?

[@TackleJunky81]

.285 to .330mm is what works for me. Appreciate you watching buddy! 👊

[@MailmanDownEDC]

Cool!! Appreciate your reply. For the record, your channel was the very first channel I subbed to when I started searching for fishing videos several years ago. Needless to say…with no pun intended, I’m hooked!! 😂

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Great video & info!!!! Thanks for sharing those tips. Question: When throwing overhead my cast seems to sail high into the sky, any tips what I can do to improve and not have my lures catch trees instead of fish? lol Finally go out but got the Big "W". Conditions were not great very windy and the lake was really choppy. Stay Safe & God Bless!!!!

[@TackleJunky81]

Hey John, I'd imagine it's gotta be your release, try releasing a bit later or come forward a bit faster. I've had more W's this year already than any other year...that's not a good sign! We'll get on em soon enough buddy! 👊💪

I have a 7 foot Quantum smoke rod with micro line guides medium heavy. 1/4 to 3/4 baits. 2 Quantum smoke S3 baitcaster with 7.3, with Sufix siege mono 10lbs, the other one with 14lbs. It cast smoothly. When I cast over hand I get a bird nests everytime. I quit using a overhead cast. Now I cast sidearm and I get more distance with softbaits and hardbaits

[@TackleJunky81]

When I first started bass fishing it was easier for me to side arm cast as well. Took me a bit to get my release right over hand.

[@bobjohnston5527]

@TackleJunky81 I started fishing when I was 9 back in the seventy. I used a side arm cast with my spinning combo. 4 years ago I bought my first baitcaster, its lighter than my spinning combo. Have a great day

Hey, how would the curado dc be for light lures?

[@TackleJunky81]

Pretty big spool for light lures. If you want a DC check out the SLX 70 DC.

[@KAYSBRANCH]

I fish farm lakes from the bank. Trees, weeds, cattails, overhanging limbs. Lowering my bait that far below the tip is flirting with disaster. Any tips?

[@willtrax71]

Great Video my Friend thank you. I think “BFS” is all just marketing to sell more Baitcasting Reels and it’s so much easier to just use a spinning Reel for a 1/8 or 1/16 ounce lure and a massive Headache with a Baitcasting Reel and I throw a lot of light stuff for the River and it just takes Medium or Medium Light stick light line and a decent Reel. I toss a Pad Crasher Jr all day at 30 yards plus accurately and easily. I mean I love my LFS I got new for 55 bucks but 300 bucks for a Lews “BFS” Reel Lol come on. If I had the Bread I’d buy a Zillion or a Shimano DC Reel or just a Pro Qualifier

[@TackleJunky81]

I hear ya brother! 👊

[@19DESERTFOX91]

That's "American" BFS style. if you buy BFS reel and a short Ultralight rod ( medium light or even light is not BFS imo) you can cast 1/8 and under lures way more effectively than a spinning reel doing it Japans BFS way. at least when it comes to small rivers/creeks. I got into BFS about year and half before BFS reels came to America... long story short we clearly got lost in translation as nearly everyone throws 1/4oz and up. yet when in Japan its nearly all 1/8oz and below. BFS Reels aren't just marketing at all... just we market them that way here for some reason.

[@josemmila2926]

Which lure color works well in that murky water?

[@TackleJunky81]

I have the best luck with a black back, with pearl or chartreuse sides or a red craw type color.

[@davidrauschenbach6871]

Thanks for the tip! See your lake is still murky sorry. Debo almost gave a Zillion away then he cleaned his white board off!

[@bobbyrobbins9816]

What is BFS?

[@bobbyrobbins9816]

I see now. If you are going to finesse then use light spinning tackle with 4 lb line.

[@bobbyrobbins9816]

I still use baitcasting and spinning equipment that I bought in the late 1970s and early eighties. Some laugh at my original Daiwa millionaires and ambassadeur 5500c reels with no magnetic cast controls. They still work great so I will continue to use them.

Bait Finesse System. Basically smaller casting combos to handle really light lures.

[@predator_boiz336]

@@TackleJunky81 so it’s using a baitcaster with a light rod? Instead of a spinning reel to finesse?

[@TackleJunky81]

​@predator_boiz336 you'll need a BFS reel as well. They have a much shallower spool.
