what are your favorite finesse bait for shallow water? the fish have really gotten picky and are eating really small baits which isn't my strong point so any advice would be appreciated

Here is a super recent thread on just that my friend. http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1299390949/21#21

That thread was about finesse rods. He's asking about finesse baits.

Oh my mistake.  :-/

Try throwing a  Brewer slider worm on 6 or 8 lb test,  or a Chompers centipede split shot style on 6 or 8.   Maybe just throw a senko

Wacky rigged 3" or 4" senko or a Keitech 4" Swing Impact, weightless.

Yum dinger or a 4" Lizard on a split shot rig with 6 - 8lb florocarbon is one of my favorites.

Tubes.

Rage Tail Baby Craw and 7" Thumper; GYCB Senko,

Fat Ika, Kreature and Kut Tail; MegaStrike MegaBug;

tubes, grubs and Hula Grubs; Larew Salty Ringworm;

Slug-Go or fluke.

Yamamoto Kut Tail on a shakey head

Gene Larew Long John or Berkley 3'' Ripple Shad swam on a jig head

Crappie tubes

Zoom finesse worm with a small nail weight. Fish it slowly, no, even slower, nope, even slower than that.

weightless and weedless trick worms.

Little Tubes, Strike King Finesse worm on a shakey head, Double tail hula grub weightless, Ring fry...

Drop shot a wacky rigged 3" senko, or zoom tiny fluke. Yes you can drop shot in shallow water. Or burn a small crank bait or a swim jig.

The fishing has been slow here also,i just picked up some zoom tiny brush hogs a couple days ago and rigged them on some charlie brewer slider heads . I plan on trying them out after work if they are successful i will post later.

4" senkos wacky rigged

Lunker City Helgies. You can order them from their website. Haven't seen them in stores for ages.  I found a huge stash of them in my basement, I can't wait to put them to work this year.

Thanks guys. I got to fish for about an hour today with some shaky worms and didn't do horrible I caught one and missed two. I still haven't gotten used to this light tackle. I also got some scrounger heads and small flukes i will try this weekend if I have any success I will let you know.
