Target Species & Techniques
A game-changer for finesse presentations in the estuary - skip small jerkbaits and micro jigs under overhanging structure for Black Bream, or work tiny vibes along the flats for Flathead. The BFS system lets you throw ultra-light lures with baitcaster accuracy and control, giving you a massive edge in pressured waters. Also brilliant for targeting Estuary Perch and Whiting with small soft plastics and micro hardbodies.
