Finesse Fishing Tricks For Clear Water Summer Bass!

Come along for an awesome day on the water! The guys are fishing a new lake, targeting big clear water smallmouth. Watch as they check likely locations, use different baits, and dial in a great pattern for big bass!

Finesse fishing was the key today. From dropshot to finesse swimbait, the smaller profiles got all the key bites. Even after dialing in a finesse bite, it took time to dial in the right depth to catch the bigger fish consistently. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment the guys were using throughout the day. We've even included the exact sizes and colors for each lure. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Dropshot Fishing For Summer Bass! (Swimbait And Topwater Bites Too)

Come along for an awesome Summer day on the water! We're catching fish on swimbaits and topwater, but the real fish catcher today is the dropshot. When finesse is what the fish want, you hunker down and catch them with it! Watch Tim and Wes adapt to changing conditions and dial in an awesome pattern!

Some of the fish are active and willing to chase, but many are holding tight to cover. Once we realize these fish don't want to leave the comfort of their grass beds, we really start to catch them! The Dropshot is a very effective technique, especially when adapted for fishing around cover. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used throughout the video. We've even included the exact colors for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
