How Light Can You Cast with a BFS Trout Rod and Reel?
The Bait Finesse System (BFS) has transformed light tackle fishing, especially for trout anglers. A BFS trout rod paired with a BFS casting reel offers unmatched control and precision, making it possible to cast incredibly light lures. But just how light can you go?
With the right setup, casting lures as light as 2 grams can be done with ease. With practice and fine-tuning, skilled anglers can even cast lures in the 1 to 1.5 gram range! BFS rods feature flexible tips that load well under minimal weight, while BFS reels have shallow, lightweight spools and precise braking systems that allow for smooth, backlash-free casting.
For trout fishing, this opens the door to using small plugs, micro spinners, or tiny spoons—ideal for clear waters and targeting pressured trout. At www.trout-lures.com, we offer a selection of light trout lures, such as the VALKEIN HI BURST 2.4 G and SMITH AR-S SH 2.0 G SPINNER, perfect for BFS setups.
In short, a BFS rod and reel combo allows you to comfortably cast lures as light as 2 grams, and with practice, tackle even lighter lures between 1 and 1.5 grams, offering incredible finesse for trout fishing!
Note: Lures with centralized weight, like a spoon, cast farther than a plug that has the weight across the length of the lure.
Happy Fishing!
