Finesse Tricks For Fall Bass Fishing!!

If clear water, bad weather, or a tough bite have left you scrambling, we're here to help! When tough conditions call for finesse fishing presentations a lot of anglers don't know what to do. The truth is, its easy! Here's what you need to know...

Every angler has "confidence baits" they turn to when conditions are tough. For Tim, the reach for light line and a downsized presentation is an easy one. From tiny swimbaits, to dropshot, to Neko rigging, he's confident in downsized offerings.
