Best Finesse Baits For Fall Bass Fishing!

These baits can save your Fall fishing! Not every day has perfect weather or great fishing but if you know how to adapt, you can still have a great time on the water! Turning to finesse can save your day and it doesn't have to be boring. From underspins and spy baits, to senkos and micro jigs, these baits will help you catch fish when nothing else will!

Fall is supposed to be awesome fishing, and most days it is. Unfortunately Fall also brings changing conditions, nasty weather, cold snaps, and post frontal conditions. When the going gets tough you have to adapt. We have a variety of baits we turn to under these conditions and they've saved our fishing countless times. Today Tim is breaking down his all time favorites and explaining how he uses each method effectively.

The BEST Technique You've NEVER Heard Of!

The Spiral Bait has been working for decades and guys are finally finding out! Maybe you've heard all the hype surrounding the Hover Rig, well you're about to find out that this method (in one form or another) has been winning money in the West for a long time!

With word spreading about the hover rig, the cat is out of the bag on this old Western tournament technique. The key to the spiral bait is the "death spiral." Learning to adjust each bait to get a wide death spiral will allow fish more time to approach the bait before it hits bottom. This technique works and it's finally getting the coverage it deserves.

Below you'll find links to the both the simple rigging method, as well as some of the modern solutions to creating a proper death spiral. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

This isn't your dad's finesse dropshot fishing! Punching, Flipping, Creature baits, and yes, small profiles and finesse too! The dropshot is more versatile than most angler's realize. If you've compartmentalized it as a finesse technique, you're missing a lot of amazing dropshot opportunities in the Summer!

In today's video Tim is covering standard dropshot fishing, including some of his key baits. But he's also adapting the method for grass, for heavy cover punching and flipping, and even for Bait Finesse (BFS) applications. The dropshot is far more versatile than we give it credit for and today Tim finally took the time to show us how it's done.

Below you'll find links to all his favorite baits, hooks, weights, and accessories. We've also included links to his personal favorite dropshot rods and reels. All the links to directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

FINESSE TOPWATER and BFS! ( This Topwater Hack Is The Real Deal )

Ready to take your topwater fishing to the next level? This is the way! Whether you're ready to jump on the BFS band wagon or not, learning to adapt smaller topwater baits into your arsenal will elevate your game. In recent years we've seen micro jigs, micro cranks, now we're realizing the benefits of micro topwater.

It's amazing how bass fishing trends come and go. For a long time it was bigger and bigger baits, and while swimbaits will forever have a place in the arsenal, the pendulum is swinging toward smaller profiles for most applications. Due partially to the success of bait finesse in the US market, companies are beginning to bring more smaller topwater profiles to market. As anglers, we're reaping the rewards of this trend and you can too!

Below you'll find links to all the baits Tim discussed in the video, as well as a few others that have really done well for us this year. We've also included some of Tim's favorite BFS combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
