What's your best finesse tactic?

Featured Replies

I have been catching a ton of bass lately on a 1/16 oz jig head with a senko style worm and deadsticking it for 20-30 seconds.  I think this is my new favorite finesse tactic.  Also, a finesse worm on a 1/8 shakey head / spot remover has been working well for me.

What are your favorite finesse tactics?

3/32-1/8 shakey head in the early early spring or skipping wacky jigs under docks in the summer.

1/8 or 1/16 oz Snagless Slider head Pro Series and 4" worms.  I use a variety of worm brands including Kalins Western Weenies, Original Powerbait, Luck E Strike Ringworms , plus my favorite....Producto 4" Tournament and Spring worms.  The action of the Producto's, on the fall, is breathtaking.  This rig is killer on inside weedlines or around any shallow cover.

Weightless trickworms or straight tails are what I am best at.

Dropshotting.

  5" Weightless senko knock-off, t-rigged.

Senko wacky and T-rig

    A pretty close race between dropshotting and shakey heading.

For me it has been the Wacky senko and the Zoom trick work fished weightless.I've caught alot of fish with this technique when the fish wouldn't hit anything else.

Deadsticking jigs around creek beds or in between stumps.  For Grass I like to drop a plastic worm in, let it set for a while and then move it just enough so that it changes position.

A 4" texas rigged weightless senko, or a 4" power worm or ring worm on a split shot rig.

Rage Tail Lobster on a 3/8 oz Evolution Shake2.

Texas rig or split shot rig Yum Rib Fry.

Drop shot Zoom Tiny Fluke or Roboworm Alive Shad.

WOW,

Nobody has mentioned the Jackall flick shake. Sweet..... glad im the only one doing it ;D

A lot of good ones have already been mentioned. I have been doing well deadsticking a Yamamoto Slim Senko in shallow grass. I also like to tail weight a Zoom Centipede so it glides backwards. This year throwing a Kietch jig with a 2-3/4" Yum Craw Papi attached to it and shaking it has been good in deep water when Ive had a tough bite. One last one is taking a 3" stickworm and attaching it to a 1/16 oz Gopher Mushroom jighead (small shank hook), has a nice "death spiral" and puts fish in the boat when confronted with clear skies, clear water & light wind.
