4 FINESSE TRICKS To Catch BASS When FISHING is TOUGH!
This year has been tough for a lot of anglers! Increased fishing pressure and intense weather has made it difficult for a lot of us to consistently catch bass. Now isn't the time to give up! Some of the most exciting fishing of the year is just around the corner! If you're struggling to get bit right now, turn to one of these 4 proven techniques to catch more fish.
When the going gets tough, its time to pick up the finesse rods! Power fishing is our passion so when its time to lighten up and slow down our first move is the finesse swimbait. Fishing these small swimbaits still gives us the feel and the fun of power fishing, but we get way more bites than we do on larger presentations. If the swimbait isn't working, its time to turn to slower bottom contact baits.
Which one should you try first? This is where you fishing style comes into play. All of these are proven options and you really can't go wrong. If you ask Tim, he's probably reaching for a Neko rig. If you ask Matt, he's probably reaching for a tube. All 3 bottom contact presentations work incredibly well so make sure you've got at least one of them rigged up at all times.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits discussed in the video. We've included the baits, the hooks, and our favorite colors for each presentation. We've also included the rod and reel combos we use with each presentation. If you prefer BFS to spinning tackle, we've linked that combo as well. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
