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.
