What is your favorite finesse tactic? 2024
EGbassing reply :
Just wondering what kind of finesse lures most people use. Just bought my first finesse setup but I'm not sure what to buy first.
Darren. reply :
Tough question for me as I like a few almost equally.
I gave the nod to Ned, tho, since it is the newest finesse rig
I've tried, and enjoyed.
OCdockskipper reply :
Ned for me, probably because of the results.
Spankey reply :
Drop shot and split shot rigs. 4"-5" worms.
Glaucus reply :
Wacky Rig, since I mostly fish ponds.
In lakes, drop shot.
Rivers and streams, Ned Rig.
Bluebasser86 reply :
Wacky is my favorite but I fish a Ned more.
Jelvas reply :
A 3" to 4" grub (Zoom Fat Albert most of the time) on a 1/4 to 3/8oz jighead! When everything else fails a grub on a jighead is my savior!
Mobasser reply :
Light Texas rig, split shot rig, and shakey head. Mostly zoom finesse worms and roboworms, sometimes smaller craw baits
Happybeerbuzz reply :
Mojo rig is what I have had tied on this year so far with various zoom plastics.

Me too! And a wacky
ww2farmer reply :
The ned and Neko rig have been getting a lot of work for me lately, but day in day out, wacky rigs and drop shotting still are my go to.
Bass_Fishing_Socal reply :
Wacky get my nod. Second would be stand up jig head.
burrows reply :
Big TRD never fails me ????
TOXIC reply :
Weightless Senko. But a Ned with a Cali-Roll Yamamoto, just tore up the smallmouth this year on St Clair.
crypt reply :
Slider rig.......
ohboyitsrobby reply :
The wacky rig is my favorite. But my most productive is a dropshot. And I use a shaky head the most.
Todd2 reply :
Which one do I pick if I wacky rig a TRD on a drop shot while shaking? ???? lol
In all seriousness, I go with the Ned. Last year, it would've been the drop shot.
The Kawartha Angler reply :
For finesse, due to the water depth it is either weightless wacky for a slow fall, or a dropshot wacky to get down deeper quicker.
This is on a medium action spinning setup. My finesse/dropshot setup is a Shimano Crucial rod with a Shimano CI4+ reel and 8lb Fluoro.
punch reply :
It used to be the dropshot... but i find myself reaching for the deadly nedly these days. Neko rig with an Exo Stick is a favorite too.
tander reply :
Ned rig for shallow and a drop shot for deep using Z Man plastics.
Bill Kowalski reply :
Caught a nice one last night on the old Texas Rig with a Zoom lizard and a few dinks with a shaky head. Haven't gone to the Ned yet. I like to drop shot when over the top of them when a little deeper as well.
kenmitch reply :
I don't really enjoy finesse type fishing at all. I've tried the ned rig a couple of times and caught 2 dinks with 1 of them being the smallest bass I've ever caught. I guess I've had my best luck finesse style fishing with the shaky head setup so far. I think I was more born to grind crankbaits as it's really the only way I love to fish. Hit or miss but that doens't matter to me.
I did catch my largest Spot (4lb)on a shakey head setup. Caught a LMB on a shaky head that was around 6lbs.
Drew03cmc reply :
Weightless T-Rig. No questions asked.
RichF reply :
1/2 oz jig with a 4 inch chigger craw on 17lb fluoro vs my normal 3/4 oz with a rage craw on 50lb braid 
thinkingredneck reply :
Does weightless t rig trickworm count?

I'd say so.
Fishingmickey reply :
5" KVD finesse worm dirt on a Owner light wire 1/8 oz with a 2/0 EWG style light wire hook. Thrown on a 7' Kistler medium Helium 3, Shimano aldebrane 50 12# flouro.

Bankbeater reply :
3" Stik-o on a split shot rig, or a 1/8 ounce jig dragged as slow as I can without hanging on the bottom.
Mbirdsley reply :
Seeings how I finally was able to get the wacky rig to work for me. That is my favorite one at the moment with a zoom trick stick/worm. Still can’t get a senko worm to work to save me life.

How do you hook the trick worm? I just bought a package today.

Just like you would a senko. What’s nice to is the trick worm will allow you to move the O-ring around. The senkos wouldn’t allow me to do that. Where ever the wacky tool put the o-ring on a senko is where it stayed.
this trick stick Caught about 12 of my 20 fish today
edit: I am only assuming this is a trick stick. I bought this pack from a discount sporting good store. they put thier UPC codes over anything that could ID this worm from zoom
TOXIC reply :
Really need to define "Finesse".......As has been posted it's different for everyone. For me, it's any presentation on 8lb line or less.

8 lb. or less sounds about right.
FishDewd reply :
I do best with a dropshot. Can catch anything from bass to perch on those. Ned rig doesn't do anything for me, wacky rigs just get caught on everything in the water, and I'm dreadful with shaky heads. Tubes sometimes work but dropshot is king to me.
SJex reply :
Dropshot is my favorite but the Ned rig is fast becoming a favorite.
