What’s your favorite finesse lure/rig? (Besides the Ned rig.)

Gambler BB cricket for punching after cold fronts.

I've been messing with the Neko rig lately. I haven't yet decided if I like it more than wacky.

Right now!

 

Texas rigged 1/8 oz bullet & 4/0 EWG

 

Zoom's Ultravibe Speed Craw

 

South Africa Special ?

3” Keitech Easy Shiner on an 1/8 darter jighead.

The 2 in Cabin Creek Spider Parts. The thick tentacle is to rig your jig head weedless.

Right now - 4.5” Roboworm FAT Straight Tail in SXE Shad on a drop shot

 

Bed Bait - 2.5” Original FAT Gitzit  Tube In Brown Craw/S&P please 

Zoom Z3 swamp crawler finesse worm on a War Eagle 3/8oz jig head. Oxblood red works very well around here.

 

Or a Trick Worm on the same jig head. 

Zoom U-Tale in gourd green and watermelon/red. Old school and work ‘every time’.

A hair jig. Sometimes I'll even suspend them under a float and if it's a really tough bite, I'll add a minnow.

Weightless fluke. Fished agonizingly slow. 

Drop shot and Split shot rigged Roboworm 4.5's, various colors. Long time favorite finesse set up. Have fished the "fat" version more as of lately (last few years). But still use many original version. 

Not quite sure what finesse is.  Is it a bait or technique?  Trying shakey head with Zoom finess worms and swamp crawlers.  New to me. Had pretty good luck with Luck E Strike hook tail worms in 4 to 5 inch on down sized t rig, or swamp crawlers.

Zoom u tail gp/chart or june bug

When you say you fish it slow are you hopping/dragging and pausing it along the bottom slow. Or are you swimming it through the middle/top of the water column slowly?

Finesse is a technique, it’s presenting bass with small, light baits, like weightless plastics, shakey head, small jigs, beetle spins..

Zoom u tale worm in old purple or junebug or a zoom centipede in watermelon seed.

Various smaller plastics.

Typically on one of the following:

Charlie Brewer Spider Head

Owner Ultrahead Finesse

3/16 Jigs

1/16 mojo-trig

6 inch worm , 1/8th ounce   weight .

Strike King Tour Grade Finesse jig with a rage chunk, 1/16oz t-rig baby brush hog watermelon candy has been FIRE lately, and of course a ned rig!

3/32 oz nail weight 6" worm

Slip shot rig; 1/8 oz pro-jo tubular weight, 8mm glass bead, Carolina keeper with Owner 5133 hook and 4 1/2 to 6" curl tail worm.

Drop shot; 1/4 oz with Gamakstsu or Owner Mosqito size 1 hook, nose or wackily hooked straight tail 5" to 6" worms

Fly lined Basstrix Bait fry Shad.

1/8 oz Flick Shacky style jig wacky rigged worm.

I use all of the above with 5 lb-7 lb line spinning tackle.

Tom

3" Yum Dinger rigged wacky style with a size 1 finesse wide gap hook and O rings.

 

Catches everything, Sunfish, Pickerel, Rock Bass, Perch, SMB and LMB. Easiest way to a double digit catch day.

Finesse jig and Rage baby menace or baby Rage craw

I'm not quite sure what it is either but I've been river fishing for smallies that way long before it was called finesse. I agree with Tyler's thoughts on it.
