I just picked up a M XF finesse spinning rod, it is my first finesse rod. Im curious what baits are considered finesse or what light tackle you use on yours. I'm used to t rigs on a MH baitcaster, never really used spinning equipment before.

i throw smaller cranks , small t-rigs and 4" trick sticks. i have some shaky heads ive been meaning to try also..

I throw light T-Rigs and Senko's with my 6'8" M/XF Mojo spinning rod

I fish quite a few finesse baits. Small cranks, especially #4 or #5 shad raps and risto raps, 4" senkos, 3" tubes or curly tails, centipedes, super fluke juniors, and 4" worms, especially power worms or ring worms. I will fish these lures on 6 to 8 pound test and medium spinning gear.

1/4oz finesse jigs, shakey heads, whacky finesse worms, and light t-rigs.

I think finesse is better defined as a technique then its is as a specific bait or rig. The size of the bait does not define the technique either. Think pinpoint presentations that are slowed way down or even dead sticked.

Now for the particular rod that you are referring to I would stick to things like dropshot, shakey head, flick shake, split shot, dart head, senkos and smaller jigs.

1/8 oz. jigs, 4" worms / slider spider head and hair jigs. Sometimes a small tube.
