FINESSE vs BIG BAITS - Spring Bass Fishing!
Come along for a day on the water! Tim is slinging a swimbait while his buddy sticks to the spinning rod. Who's going to come out ahead? We'll see! Pay attention to where Tim focuses with the swimbaits and note the number of fish that commit to a dropshot or shaky head after refusing the big bait. Very interesting!
The Tennessee River is known for "power fishing" but make no mistake, there are a ton of fish to be caught with finesse techniques. Today the advantage went to the dropshot, shaky head and senko. Tim did manage one fish on the Magdraft and a few missed opportunities on other baits, but all in all the finesse gear was the champ.
Below you'll find links to the baits the guys used throughout the day. We've included the exact colors, as well as a few of our other favorites. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
