    I gotta say that BFS reels are VERY underrated for finesse presentations, love using them! I know spinning gear is the preferred method, but there’s just something about using a bait caster with those finesse presentations for me.👊💥🎣

      Yes Sir...got a Dobyns Sierra 7ft fast 1 power and a Curado BFS reel a couple months ago. I've been really enjoying it so far. When the fish are slowed down that light setup is so much fun. 3 lb smallies are like a 10 lber on my regular setups.

    Regarding adapting to the cold, I think a big reason why the fishing improves on warmer days is that the more comfortable conditions make us more patient with working baits and less likely to overwork our lures. A single warm day or just a few of them in a row rarely significantly changes the water temperature. The fish do definitely react to it, but I think the effect on most anglers' mindsets can't be ignored.

    I have an 8' 2" medium power/fast action spinning rod for the exact "tip-watching" you describe at the end of this video, as well as for longer casting of lighter finesse baits and for working the occasional spybait. Anyone who has done their fair share of almost any type of fishing knows when their target fish is getting 'frisky on the bait', and is about ready to take it. So just look for the wiggles, set the hook, and have fun!!!

  • @MichaelCraig-bi3wj

    Super good advice on this one. I'm trying to do what you're talking about on BFS gear and have had pretty good success so far. I'm using straight fluorocarbon line in the 4 to 8 pound class. I use the Dobyns 740 rod on most bottom bumping lures and the 700 Dobyns on moving baits. I'm still experimenting allot but for the most part I just do with BFS as I did with spinning tackle. Thanks again for the great video!!

    Great tips Matt. I lost a bass last night that just barely pulled on the bait which snagged in weeds at the same time. Since I had a clump of weeds, I reeled in quickly only to realize last minute that a bass was holding on to my worm in the clump of weeds I had dragged back and let go at the bank 🥺. I did get another bass on a TRD Crawz and same thing, the fish loaded up but felt like a wet sock or clump of weeds. This time I popped the rod and set the hook 😉 We had a serious cold front in Florida that dropped the water temp quite a bit this last week and had the fish very lethargic and though the temperatures went back up, they still seem to be very slow moving so the Ned rig, Neko rig and slowly dragged weightless senko Texas rigged are the only baits working right now.

    I have never been able to catch anything on those Z-man TRDs, but I have been able to wear them out on the Z- man Hula stickZ. They are taller and have little fingers on the end. I guess they are just enough to flow with the water and catch the attention of the fish. I’ll either pop them up, and keep the rod tip up while they sink, or slow drag them the way people do the TRD.

We’re you fishing the mosquito and slow sink bait with out any drop shot wt below it? Very confusing.
