5 Finesse Tricks For Cold Winter Fishing!

These finesse tricks can save your day! If you're struggling to get bit, don't be stubborn. Finesse can turn a tough day around, especially if you're faced with poor weather conditions. Tim has a few key finesse baits he turns to when the going gets tough and today he's giving you the details.

When it's working, there's nothing better than power fishing in Winter. Unfortunately, it's not always working. When that happens, it's time to finesse. Tim reaches for a handful of rods when the going gets tough and he's very specific about each option. From his football jig to his ned rig, there are subtle nuances that Tim believes give him an upper hand.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear discussed in the video. We've also links some of our favorite budget friendly rod and reel combos for these techniques. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Finesse Tricks For Skittish Bass ( Early Fall )

Tim is fishing a new lake and the water is crystal clear! Come along for a fun day on the water as Tim uses some finesse tricks to coax these Leary late season bass into biting! From specifics on his finesse tackle, to how to extend cast range, lead fish, and more... Tim is giving up all the tips!

Today was all about finesse! Tim's primary baits were a tube and a finesse swimbait. Color was key on the tube but didn't seem important at all on the swimbait. The most important factor was reaching the fish before they detected the boat. Long casts, light line, and keeping the boat quiet were all critical factors.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear he used throughout the day. We've also included some awesome budget–friendly combos that will help you maximize distance and catch these Fall bass, even in clear water and heavily pressured situations.
