Would a wacky rig senko count?
Glaucus reply :
Wacky Rig by far
QUAKEnSHAKE reply :
2.8" Keitech swing impact fat with 1/8 jighead. If smaller is wanted go to 2" s-i-f with 1/32 jighead.
MIbassyaker reply :
4" power worm
1/8oz owner finesse bullet ultrahead
Technique: cast to shoreline, hop it back slowly...
Dens228 reply :
I would say unweighted plastics are about as finesse as I go........wacky, t-rig, etc........either worms, senkos, or rage craw types.
RealtreeByGod reply :
Ned Rig and weightless flukes account for like 80% of my bass.
I suck at power fishing.
Dorado reply :
Weightless trick worm
Bitsy Tubes on 1/8oz tube jigs
Ned Rig
Wacky Rig GP w/ Black Flake Senko
Roadrunners paired with Sassy Shad or Grubs
I could finesse fish for bass the rest of my life with those top 5 baits and be one happy angler
Bluebasser86 reply :
The one that's working is my favorite. A wacky rig, ned rig, shakyhead, or micro jig are all fun but I don't think one is my favorite.
Bankbeater reply :
Around vegetation I like a 4" or 6" plastic worm weighted with a 1/16 or 1/8 ounce weight. If there is no vegetation around I like a speed craw weighted the same way.

The wacky, Ned rig, and a light finesse or micro jig are my mainstays. Like Bluebasser86 said, I don't consider any a favorite but the micro jig is the one I like to use most.

4" worm Texas rig
scaleface reply :
I dont do finesse very well , nor the big stuff . I sort of stick in the middle . I guess if you define finesse as going light , my most productive techniques are small spinnerbaits , and crankbaits .
Catt reply :
Depends on the body of water ????
Our Southwest Louisiana marshes average 2-4' maximum depth, while on Toledo Bend's main lake 15' is shallow.
In the marshes I'll throw Texas Rigs from weightless to 1/8 oz, plastics maybe straight tail worms, Baby Brush Hogs, Ultra Vibe Speed Worms & Speed Craw.
Lakes/Reservoirs; Wacky Rigs, Texas Rigs worm with a nail in the tail, Texas Rigs 1/16-1/8 oz, 1/8 oz buzzbaits, & small cranks, & jerkbaits (soft or hard).

Catt, I like to be versatile too, but the Texas rig is hard to beat for me. I'm dealing with milfoil weeds, and it comes through cover better than any baits I've tried. This year I'm bringing back the Beetle Spin. A smaller spinner can work well too. As you know milfoil is tough to fish. But, that's where the bass are
Junger reply :
1/4oz Rico popper.
CrankFate reply :
Balsa crank on the surface. Skipped in or zig zagged.

very similar to a slider, but better quality light hook.
FCPhil reply :
Weightless stickworm. If you don’t count that as fitness try the Berkley Flat Dawg, it is an excellent stickbait with a flattened shape that gives it a lot of action. It nearly as long as other stickbaits but it is a noticeably smaller lure overall.
Also, does a popper count as finesse? It’s my favorite “finesse bait” because I love topwater.
chattooga_ basser reply :
Throwing a Senko as a walk the dog style topwater.
J.Vincent reply :
Split Shot Rig with a Zoom Centipede or French Fry on the business end
