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.

The BEST Technique You've NEVER Heard Of!

The Spiral Bait has been working for decades and guys are finally finding out! Maybe you've heard all the hype surrounding the Hover Rig, well you're about to find out that this method (in one form or another) has been winning money in the West for a long time!

With word spreading about the hover rig, the cat is out of the bag on this old Western tournament technique. The key to the spiral bait is the "death spiral." Learning to adjust each bait to get a wide death spiral will allow fish more time to approach the bait before it hits bottom. This technique works and it's finally getting the coverage it deserves.

Below you'll find links to the both the simple rigging method, as well as some of the modern solutions to creating a proper death spiral. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

This isn't your dad's finesse dropshot fishing! Punching, Flipping, Creature baits, and yes, small profiles and finesse too! The dropshot is more versatile than most angler's realize. If you've compartmentalized it as a finesse technique, you're missing a lot of amazing dropshot opportunities in the Summer!

In today's video Tim is covering standard dropshot fishing, including some of his key baits. But he's also adapting the method for grass, for heavy cover punching and flipping, and even for Bait Finesse (BFS) applications. The dropshot is far more versatile than we give it credit for and today Tim finally took the time to show us how it's done.
