Finesse Fishing Tricks You Need To Try!

Catching fish with finesse techniques can be really easy! But what about when its not? Subtle differences have huge impacts on these presentations. Today we're covering the baits and modifications that we use to consistently catch fish throughout the Winter months. 

These aren't your every day finesse tricks! These are the fine details that make a difference in our personal fishing. From which jig head should go in each tube, to the ned rig with the most natural action. We rely on these subtle differences to give us the upper hand every time we hit the water. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt discusses in the video. We've also included links to Matt's favorite finesse rods as well as some longer budget options to help you tip watch the next time you go fishing. All the links go to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

How To Catch Bass With Plastic Worms! **AMAZING UNDERWATER FOOTAGE**

Let's head underwater to watch bass eating ned rigs and dropshot worms! Want to become a better angler? Come along as we study this amazing underwater footage of fish behavior while Tim teaches the differences in presentations and how you can use them to match different bass behaviors!

We learn a ton about bass behavior when we head underwater, but we also learn about the lures we're using. From above, ned worms and dropshot worms don't look like much but there are huge differences between the different worms when you get them below the surface. Some days a ned will out fish a dropshot and other days it won't, but you've probably never considered that how the bass are positioning in different weather conditions can dictate that outcome. That is just one small take away from this underwater bass footage. 

Below you'll find links to the different baits in the video. We've included the exact colors you're seeing, as well as our favorite rigging components and equipment. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
