HeyCoach reply :
Zoom Z3 swamp crawler finesse worm on a War Eagle 3/8oz jig head. Oxblood red works very well around here.
Or a Trick Worm on the same jig head.
DogBone_384 reply :
Zoom U-Tale in gourd green and watermelon/red. Old school and work ‘every time’.
papajoe222 reply :
A hair jig. Sometimes I'll even suspend them under a float and if it's a really tough bite, I'll add a minnow.
NittyGrittyBoy reply :
Weightless fluke. Fished agonizingly slow.
Spankey reply :
Drop shot and Split shot rigged Roboworm 4.5's, various colors. Long time favorite finesse set up. Have fished the "fat" version more as of lately (last few years). But still use many original version.
thinkingredneck reply :
Not quite sure what finesse is. Is it a bait or technique? Trying shakey head with Zoom finess worms and swamp crawlers. New to me. Had pretty good luck with Luck E Strike hook tail worms in 4 to 5 inch on down sized t rig, or swamp crawlers.
burrows reply :
Roboworm fat

When you say you fish it slow are you hopping/dragging and pausing it along the bottom slow. Or are you swimming it through the middle/top of the water column slowly?

Finesse is a technique, it’s presenting bass with small, light baits, like weightless plastics, shakey head, small jigs, beetle spins..
Log Catcher reply :
Zoom u tale worm in old purple or junebug or a zoom centipede in watermelon seed.

I'm not quite sure what it is either but I've been river fishing for smallies that way long before it was called finesse. I agree with Tyler's thoughts on it.
MIbassyaker reply :
4" Power Worm + Owner Bullet Ultrahead.

Exactly what I did. I don't buy the Hula Grubs anymore. I like being able to switch up the skirts. The GP grub body with the Tennessee Orange skirt has been a killer combo for me on the 1/8 oz Gammy ball head jig.
Mobasser reply :
Roboworm 4 1/2 inch. Colors mm11 or folk special. Texas rig with 1/8 oz brass bullet sinker and 8mm glass bead or split shot rigged. Gamma straight shank 1/0 hook. Sometimes rig with 1/8 oz slider head

CroakHunter reply :
Finesse to me doesnt always mean light weights and small baits. More of a mind set. I finesse 12" worms with 3/4 ounce weights through brush piles all the time. But I've also power fished small trick worms by twitching them like a jerkbait. But I'll stick to What's politically correct and say dropshotting a small lizzard
bh91 reply :
Always thought finesse was just slowing it down

Intricate or refined delicacy.

You may be right also. It sounds it. More of a presentation style.
SJex reply :
Z Man Tubez and Strike King Dreamshots have been killer for me the last 2 seasons both for size and numbers. They work great on a dropshot rig. Z Man Tubez look like a small bait fish or minnow when fished this way.
flatcreek reply :
Charlie Brewer Spider head with Zoom finesse worm on spinning gear

I agree, you can finesse bigger baits but I meant a finesse presentation on a smaller scale. I guess I meant small profile baits.
All Day Fishing reply :
Zoom Ring Worm in green pumpkin is killing it for me right now!
Beetlebz reply :
I've actually been having trouble this year finding a finesse bite. Weird, but true. A Texas rigged pumpkinseed power worm has been outfishing almost everything. I did however do some work this morning with a flick shake jig and pink trick worm rigged wacky.
gilkeybr reply :
2.8 Keitech (Regular, not fat) and a light jig head. Like a swimming Ned rig.
evilcatfish reply :
Tubes tubes and more tubes here.
bagofdonuts reply :
neko rig zoom trick worm
Bankbeater reply :
Deadsticking a 3" BPS Stiko on a split shot rig. I count to 10 and move it a little. Usually the bass will pick it up and take off with it.
Russ E reply :
my best big fish finesse bait is a trick worm on a shakyhead.
my best numbers finesse bait is a ned rig.
there is usually one of each, at the ready, on my deck.

I wish I had your patience. Seriously. I’m working on it
Darren. reply :
Beside the Ned, my favorite would be the Yamamoto Shad Shape worm.

The bait moves slow but the bass pounce on it. If I don't get a bite by the 3rd count I bring the bait back in and cast it somewhere else.
BassThumb reply :
Strike King Caffiene Shad on a 4/0 VMC EWG hook.
The tail wiggles like a Senko when you let it fall. Drives the fish nuts.
Mike L reply :
Small waters...Shaky head with a trick worm
Big waters...UV Speed Craw
Mike
MickD reply :
You said no Ned, but this may be news to some: Rig a drop shot with one color Ned on the hook on the line and another color on the bottom instead of a sinker. May not be legal everywhere.
Looch reply :
spro or home tied hair jigs/bucktails.
River2Sea Lane Changer 150 topwater lure is what I think is finesse, had a good week fishing that, wasn't a big fan of that lure until this week. No wind, clear water sightfishing most of the week and other "noisier" topwater lures were spooking fish. I've never seen water in this particular river this clear and I been fishing this river for 40 years.
Tiny ice fishing spoons for bluegill, gsf, rock bass is a favorite of mine, I often get a couple bass with them too.
jigging rap for open water walleye(lure was designed for ice fishing)

That would apply to any dead stick presentation and most big swimbaits.
Some folks quote the dictionary definition for finesse, others refer to light line presentations, others just like to argue. When you come up with something everyone agrees post it!

ww2farmer reply :
My favorite is what ever is getting bit. Today it was a Ned rigged TRD, tomorrow it might be a 4" yum dinger on a drop shot, a week from the 4th of July it might be a 6" worm on a shaky head, two weeks after the last full moon in October with the smell of burning tires in the air it might be white post it note on 5/0 treble hook................point is, I don't know until I know. I let my gut, what my eyes and brain are seeing for the days conditions, and past exp. guide me a little on what I do. I have lots of stuff I lean on when it's tuff, some days I find THE thing they will bite, some days are a swing and a miss.
fishwizzard reply :
Small paddletails are always in style.....
While new for 2018 are chubby little tubes....
I have never found a weedless rigging method for the 4" Easy Shiners, ideally I want a small, thin-wire twistlock hook but with only like a 1/16oz belly weight. I also want it to ride really tight up to the body. Those draggin head's I use for the tubes are almost perfect, but I wish the weight was further back. They are still the best I have found though.
EDIT: That was not a Chubby Little Tube, the correct pic is now up. The are great rigged on the draggin heads, they are heavy enough for a decent current but still do a slow gliding fall. The hookset raito is outstanding as well.
