Alright, let’s talk about this… whatchamacallit… BFS jerkbait thing. I ain’t no fancy fisherman, mind you, but I’ve caught my fair share of fish, and this here thing, well, it works.
First off, what the heck is a BFS jerkbait anyway? It’s just a little bitty hard plastic bait, looks kinda like a tiny fish, you know? You tie it on your line and you jerk it around. Sounds simple enough, right? And it is! Even an old woman like me can do it.
- It’s small, easy to cast.
- It looks like a tasty snack for the fish.
- You gotta jerk it to make it work.
Now, some folks get all fancy with their fishing gear. They talk about “pound test” and “monofilament” and all sorts of jibber jabber. Me? I just use whatever line I got on hand. Usually the thin stuff, you know, the kind that doesn’t break too easy. I reckon that’s what them fancy folks call “light line”. It lets the little bait wiggle around real nice.
The best time to use this BFS jerkbait, from what I’ve seen, is when the little fishies start movin’ around. Like in the fall, when they’re all headin’ up them creeks. The bigger fish, they follow the little ones, see? So, you throw this little jerkbait out there, give it a twitch, give it a jerk, and BAM! Fish on! It’s like ringin’ the dinner bell for them bass.
Jerkbait fishing ain’t just for fancy folks, let me tell you. It’s somethin’ anyone can do. You don’t need no fancy boat or no fancy rod. I fish from the bank mostly. Just find yourself a good spot, you know, where the fish like to hang out, and start jerkin’.
One thing I learned is you gotta vary your jerks. Sometimes the fish want it fast, sometimes they want it slow. Sometimes they want a big jerk, sometimes they want a little twitch. You gotta figure out what they want that day. It’s like cookin’ – sometimes they like it spicy, sometimes they like it plain. It’s all about experimentin’.
And don’t be afraid to try different colors. Some days they like the shiny ones, some days they like the dull ones. I got a whole box full of these little jerkbaits, all different colors and sizes. It’s like havin’ a candy store for fish!
Another thing, don’t be scared to fish this thing shallow. Them bass, they like to hang out near the shore, especially when they chasin’ them little baitfish. I’ve caught plenty of big ones right up close to the bank. Just cast it out there, let it sit for a second, then start jerkin’.
Now, some folks say you need a special rod for this BFS jerkbait fishing. A “BFS rod,” they call it. But I just use my regular old rod. It works just fine. As long as you can cast it out there and jerk it back, you’re good to go. Don’t let them fancy fellers tell you different.
So, there you have it. My take on this BFS jerkbait thing. It ain’t rocket science, that’s for sure. It’s just a good way to catch fish. And that’s what matters, right? Get yourself a few of these little baits, find yourself a good spot, and go fishin’! You might be surprised at what you catch. And remember, keep it simple. Fishin’ ain’t supposed to be complicated. It’s supposed to be fun. So get out there and enjoy yourself!
One more thing, always be respectful of the water and the fish. Don’t leave your trash behind, and only keep what you need. We gotta take care of these fishin’ holes, so our grandkids can enjoy them too. That’s just common sense.
And that’s all I got to say about that. Now go on, get out there and catch some fish!
