Just wondering what kind of finesse lures most people use. Just bought my first finesse setup but I'm not sure what to buy first.

Tough question for me as I like a few almost equally.

 

I gave the nod to Ned, tho, since it is the newest finesse rig

I've tried, and enjoyed.

Drop shot and split shot rigs. 4"-5" worms. 

Wacky Rig, since I mostly fish ponds.

 

In lakes, drop shot.

 

Rivers and streams, Ned Rig. 

 A 3" to 4" grub (Zoom Fat Albert most of the time) on a 1/4 to 3/8oz jighead! When everything else fails a grub on a jighead is my savior!

Light Texas rig, split shot rig, and shakey head. Mostly zoom finesse worms and roboworms, sometimes smaller craw baits 

Mojo rig is what I have had tied on this year so far with various zoom plastics.

The ned and Neko rig have been getting a lot of work for me lately, but day in day out, wacky rigs and drop shotting still are my go to.

Wacky get my nod. Second would be stand up jig head.

Big TRD never fails me ?

Weightless Senko.  But a Ned with a Cali-Roll Yamamoto, just tore up the smallmouth this year on St Clair.

The wacky rig is my favorite. But my most productive is a dropshot. And I use a shaky head the most.

Which one do I pick if I wacky rig a TRD on a drop shot while shaking? ? lol

 

In all seriousness, I go with the Ned. Last year, it would've been the drop shot.

For finesse, due to the water depth it is either weightless wacky for a slow fall, or a dropshot wacky to get down deeper quicker.

This is on a medium action spinning setup.  My finesse/dropshot setup is a Shimano Crucial rod with a Shimano CI4+ reel and 8lb Fluoro.

It used to be the dropshot... but i find myself reaching for the deadly nedly these days. Neko rig with an Exo Stick is a favorite too. 

Ned rig for shallow and a drop shot for deep using Z Man plastics.

Caught a nice one last night on the old Texas Rig with a Zoom lizard and a few dinks with a shaky head.   Haven't gone to the Ned yet.  I like to drop shot when over the top of them when a little deeper as well.

I don't really enjoy finesse type fishing at all. I've tried the ned rig a couple of times and caught 2 dinks with 1 of them being the smallest bass I've ever caught. I guess I've had my best luck finesse style fishing with the shaky head setup so far. I think I was more born to grind crankbaits as it's really the only way I love to fish. Hit or miss but that doens't matter to me.

 

I did catch my largest Spot (4lb)on a shakey head setup. Caught a LMB on a shaky head that was around 6lbs.

1/2 oz jig with a 4 inch chigger craw on 17lb fluoro vs my normal 3/4 oz with a rage craw on 50lb braid  ;)

Does weightless t rig trickworm count?
