WHAT IS IT?
Cashion Icon BFS Rod
WHAT SETS IT APART?
If the word association game immediately pairs “finesse bait” with “spinning rod,” pay attention to what Cashion has brought to the table. BFS stands for “Bait Finesse System” — a series of rods designed specifically for ultra-light finesse fishing with baitcasting tackle. Essential to this concept, each rod is built with a light power and fast action tip, which makes them ideal for fishing small baits around cover with the control common to the baitcasting form.
HOW DO I USE IT?
Cashion’s ICON BFS series includes two models: a 6-foot, 10-inch medium/light made for single hook finesse baits (Ned rig, drop shot, micro jig, shaky head) and a 7-foot light intended for treble hook presentations (finesse crankbaits, jerkbaits and poppers). Both include micro guides that enhance casting distance and accuracy, a blank through reel seat for maximum sensitivity and a smartly positioned hook keeper for quick in and out motion.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
This really isn’t so much about the power shot (aka “Bubba shot”) technique; rather, Cashion’s ICON BFS rod addresses a need for which anglers often find themselves under gunned. With sensitivity critical to the finesse game, Cashion uses a hand-rolled CR6r blank that’s rolled unidirectionally to ensure all the fibers run in the same direction so they efficiently transmit vibrations from the rod tip to the angler’s fingers. Cashion also ensures comfortable, efficient handling with an ergonomic reel seat and handmade carbon fiber grips that transmit the slightest movement.
