PART 2: Dobyns Sierra BFS Rod On The Water Review and Test. I cast a variety of lures with the Dobyns Sierra Ultra Finesse 700c. I test the rods reaction to crankbaits, structure sensitivity and other small but important features when selecting a rod.
This rod seems so far to be a great rod for pond hopping or any type of shore fishing. It is pretty versatile and should eliminate the need to carry multiple rods around when shore fishing. Not saying this rod couldn't be used on a boat pitching weightless plastics to docks but, shore fishing is what stands out to me so far.
A good reel to pair with this rod is the Shimano Curado BFS. At $189, it is a great price for a BFS reel from a reputable reel manufacturer and...is available to purchase in the USA. Companies like Roro Lure also make shallow spools for many existing "normal" baitcasting reels so, that may be an easy option to get into BFS. Many reels like the Daiwa SV reels are pretty capable of casting most bass plastics weightless without modification.
This is the first mainstream rod to be specifically made for BFS fishing. I hope that this rod create competition among other rod makers to start to bring quality USA market BFS rods to the market.
I got mine from Bait Finesse Empire:

Instagram: @baitfinesseempire ( baitfinesseempire), a new finesse fishing oriented web-based retailer opened the USA mid-April 2021. The shop carries a ton of Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) lures, lines and other gear. They also carry tackle from the USA and elsewhere. I am excite to partner with them to spread the love of BFS to the mainstream market. I will continue to share unbiased reviews of products with you all an encourage your feedback on products so Bait Finesse Empire can ensure they are stocking what the people want.
Dobyns Sierra Ultra Finesse Casting SA 700c Rod Specs:
7', 1/16-5/16 (1.5-8gr), 2-8lb line.
The Sierra Ultra Finesse or BFS casting rods are a new addition for 2021. This series was built strictly due to angler request and the growing popularity. Ultra-Light bass fishing has become very popular over the last few years and we have heard from our anglers to bring back an Ultra-Light Finesse casting rod designed to throw baits as light as 1/16oz (1.5g) and using 2-8lb line to target bass, panfish, crappie and trout..
These models will be in lengths of 7′ and 7’4″ and will be one-piece models. These rods are very small in diameter and super lightweight. Be on the lookout for these at a Dobyns dealer this fall.
