What is in our tackle box when ultralight baitcasting aka BFS Fishing? Here is a video short detailing what we like!
Of note are the Super Dupers in Copper, Gold, Silver, and Rainbow Trout!
- Fish them low and slow when the trout are holding deep.
- If active in the upper part of the water column, then fish them with a steady retrieve.
- Additionally, if no takers on either retrieve, then try a "stop and go retrieve" by reeling in, and then pausing for a second or two.
- Wait for a strike as Super Duper slowly sinks and flutters on the pause!
Also, Mepps Inline Spinners in Copper, Gold, and Silver hold a spot in our tackle box.
- Fish them with a steady retrieve and when the trout are holding in the upper part of the water column.
- Adjust the retrieve by reeling faster or slower until you get a strike. A "stop and go retrieve" may be called for on occasion.
- But, typically, it is lure blade color and the trout's location in the water column that matter more.
Rooster Tails in a variety of color combinations are another lure we keep handy.
- Start with the Fire Tiger, White, Yellow, and Black. And then, expand to other color combinations - blade, lure body, dressing.
- Fish them like the Mepps but take the slow retrieve on step further and reel it slower! The Rooster Tail blade will spin at the slowest retrieve which will come in handy when the trout are picky.
- But, do take note, when sight casting to passing trout schools, a faster retrieve may be called for when on trout breaks away and you see its V wake head toward the lure!
