HUNT Bait Finesse Series

As fishing grows in popularity and technology advances, those trophy fish feel more pressured as well. In popular fisheries, ALL the fish can become pressured. That’s where the Bait Finesse System, or BFS, excels. It was developed in Japan to cast small lures on ultralight bait-casting gear while targeting large, highly pressured fish. Think of anything you would normally use a spinning rod for, and imagine casting it on a bait caster. That’s BFS.

Successful finesse fishing is all about feel. The feeling of pure joy from catching a personal best fish on ultralight gear is unmatched. It allows you to explore new techniques and target multiple species with ease. The Hunt Series Bait Finesse rods are the best in the world. Try one, and you’ll understand why Kistler is “The Way Fishing Should Feel.”
