Must Try Tricks For Fall Finesse Fishing!
These finesse fishing tricks will help you catch more fish! Don't just throw the same old lures hoping the bass suddenly change. This Fall, if you face tough conditions, try one of these tips to get more bites. We love to power fish but when its time for finesse, we go all in! From unique shapes and profiles, to actions and colors that other anglers aren't throwing, this will help you get the next bite when things get tough.
When faced with tough conditions Tim uses a 2-pronged approach to get consistent bites. He rigs a bait that will suspend off the bottom, and another that will make bottom contact. He's got a handful of baits to choose from in each category but making sure both are covered is the key. As is often the case, this topic started off very simple with 4 bait recommendations but we can rarely resist the temptation to go down the rabbit hole so before it was over Tim was giving away tips on a dozen different options that each have a time and place in your bass fishing line up.
Below you'll find links to all the baits, including the components we use to rig them. We've also included a couple of our favorite finesse fishing rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
