Using Finesse Jigs in Fall to Catch Bass - New Video!

Oh my goodness guys! We caught so many fish during the filming of this video, I couldn't fit them all in.  Enjoy!

 

 

Can't say I caught nearly as many as Glenn did but the finesse jig is one of my new favorites.

 

Here in southern Maine the bite seemed off all summer, at least with the usual lures in the usual places. The exception for me was the green & white paddletail worm on a light jig head, using 6 lb line on a ML/F spinning setup, even though I'm more of a baitcaster type. It caught probably 95% of what I caught this season.

 

So as fall closed in I was determined to for once (no exaggeration) to catch something on a skirted jig, so why not try the finesse version with the green & white paddletail as a trailer. 

 

As soon as I did, I started catching fish. Not tons of fish, but some fish (for me that's good). Gained a lot of confidence on that lure and as a result it's going to be a go-to next season, not even just for fall.

 

Funny how sometimes you think you're all about one type of rod, reel, line and lure, but the results steer you in a completely different and sometimes unexpected direction. Results sometimes speak louder than gear.
