    If you are bed fishing using FFS

    Is that considered sight fishing meaning must the fish be hooked inside the mouth?.

    So if you’re bed fishing and can see them, just keep your mouth shut and turn on the ffs and now you can snag them?

    I remember watching a tournament where I think it was Kennedy fishing bedding fish and you could see the fish circling in the bed on his FFS.

    I had no idea that was a thing. That actually kinda makes me sad that that’s a thing. Also random comment, they are not all that difficult to beat, fwiw.

    Not sure what you’re referring to in comment “they are not all that difficult to beat”, unless your saying you have experience beating lie detectors. I’ve never looked into that, don’t have to. It is a thing and has been around for years. Lots of money on the line, and lots of Ill minded people I guess.

    I guess if your conscience lets you believe you are in the right go for it. Just Sprague um. No need to mess with a Ned or drop shot.

    Have you ever beat one or are you just repeating what you've heard?

    I’ve taken several for tournament wins. I was so nervous I’m surprised that I passed anyway, I am damn sure I couldn’t pass if I had cheated. I guess maybe a compulsive liar might pass one.

    I personally would love to see you call your shots and snag fish on purpose with FFS.


    It sounds simple and easy in theory but I'm betting it's not.

    In shallow situations, using ffs in horizontal mode, it wouldn’t be difficult to snag a fish moving about a bed. I’ll not go into detail on how, but having fished for salmon in rivers using ffs, sometimes you have maneuver not to snag them.

    I would have to see it to believe it. I think it sounds much simpler than it probably is. Then again I think the drama abd overreacting surrounding FFS is 100x worse than FFS itself.....

    Not an expert, but man it's fun catching bedding Smallies with FFS.
