YES, Ultralight Ned Rigs and Rooster Tails Catch Bass!

Edited video from this past weekend's GoPro Mobile Fishing Livestream. I fished using Ultralight Baitcasting Gear aka Bait Finesse Systems, a Z-Man Ned Rig, and a 1/16oz Rooster Tail! Caught and release six Bass.

"Suggested Gear"

Rooster Tail Works for Bass | Bait Finesse Style

BFS fishing the local pond. Started with a popper but switched to a Rooster Tail and had fun catching Bass.

Shimano Scorpion 17 BFS-XG reel still rocks with the Bass Pro Shops Microlite Fiberglass rod!

Shimano 17 Scorpion BFS Reel | Daiwa Minicast Rod | Casts 1/16oz Lure!

First time fishing the Shimano 17 Scorpion BFS Reel mounted on the Daiwa Minicast Rod!

After a backlash on the first cast, followed by several overruns, and then adjusting the spool tension and brakes, able to let it rip and cast in the dark without a backlash.

Liking casting 1/16oz Rooster Tails in the dark without a backlash!

Did not catch a fish but did learn the feel of the rod and reel combo and trained the thumb to cast confidently in the dark.

Next step… catch a fish!

PS. The 5ft rod breaks down into 5 pieces making it easier to “store” in the backpack I take to the day job!
