Thread: Panfish on BFS

Thanks for the BFS lesson and description.
I’ve dappled in BFS and for the way I fish it really doesn’t fit me
Nothing wrong with it , just not my cup of tea . Too complicated, attempting to set the backlash control after changing lures .
And when it’s windy , forget it .
I’ve never achieved the accuracy and control with bfs that I have with a spinning reel . Especially if I'm shooting or swinging jigs .
Most of my jigs I use are .5g or less .
I was able to float fish a little using a snap on weighted float .
My best use of bfs was with spinners , spinnerbaits , and small cranks .

I feel one big factor in success with BFS is ones familiarity with casting reels to begin with .
Even when I bass fished with them , I used them primarily for fishing buzzbaits , spinnerbaits , and crankbaits . That’s were they really shine IMO .
