New Finess Rig

Not any big surprises here or secrets.

I just thought I'd share my new success and excitement.

It seems I have gotten out of the finesse habit that I had a few years ago except for Senkos and drop shots.   My catch rates have fallen this year and it has made me rethink my arsenal.

I started using a 1/8 oz black jig  (Strike King) with a Rockcraw trailer in black (by JDC baits http://www.jdcbaits.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=42_44&osCsid=a097c7ea1ded20f0d39c780754f377fe ) and fishing it on 6lb floro (Berkley 100%) on a medium action Shimano Crucial.  The only other alteration is I bite off the forktail on the trailer.

This technique allows me to crawl the jig slowly and cover a point faster than a dropshot.  Smallies love it and I also catch plenty of largemouth too.  Its definitely a numbers bait but it will call 5lbers too.
