Your favorite small 2-4" finesse soft plastics for a tough bite

[Primus]

I'm curious to some of everyone's favorite little finnesse plastics that you liked to use, also if you can be specific as to brand and how you like to rig it and suggested retrieves. I'm curious about slider grubs as an example, all these years I've never got around to trying them. I'll start of with a few...

3" Dinger/ Senko with a 1/16 oz Gopher Tackle Mushroom jighead. The majority of the hits are on the fall, sometimes I'll twitch it or do the traditional short hops.

4" Zoom Ringworm on 3/16" mojo rig ( app. 12" leader), just drag it on the bottom like a finnesse C-rig.

1/8 oz texas rig with a Reaction Innovations Smallie Beaver or on a 1/8 oz jighead if there is not a lot cover.

Looking forward to your ideas, Thanks.

4'' GYCB Kut Tail

4'' *** Dropshot worm

BPS Tender tube

and Zoom Finesse Worms and Roboworms straight tails even though they are 4.5''

Dropshot worm on a dropshot, Kut Tail, Finesse, and Straight Tail worms on a shakey head or dropshot, and Tender Tube with a weedless tube jighead.

BPS sells a 3/16 oz jig with a gama 3/0 hook. I like to use this with a 3'' yum wooly beaver or a kalin 3'' curly tail grub. This finese presentation will catch everything that swims. I've also used this jig in the 1/16 weight. Great for cold water rip rap smallies.

[brushhoggin]

4" yamamoto kut tail

roboworm zipper worms and sculpins

[Big Bait Fishing]

robo worms 4'' straight tail , drop shotted .

[RoLo]

As the name suggests, I believe that "finesse" fishing is less about size, and more about an adjustment of speed & action.

Lately the smallest worm we fish, even on lockjaw days is a 7½" Gambler Big Stick.

Fished as a shaky worm on a 3/16oz jig (flicks & pauses) it's usually able to get the skunk out of the boat.

i like to put a trick worm on a shakeyhead when the bite is tough...

[aarogb]

For those situations I like a 4" Yamamoto Kut Tail worm fished on shakey head or dropshot.

[Blue Streak]

Four inch Berkley Power worm. The bass never get tired of them.

[bilgerat]

Yum Wooly Curltail grub 1.5"

3" Yum Dinger

Yum Vibra King tube 2"

Strike King Bitsy tube 2.75"

2" Senko (not available anymore. I bought a bunch of 'em years ago)

All of these produce and all of them have caught me big fish.

[bilgerat]

I forgot the best one.....1.5" to 2.5" pieces of senko style stick baits (preferably the pointed tail section) rigged on a ball jighead, fished any number of ways. Laugh all you want, call it a junk bait, whatever. It catches fish and lots of them. A good way to get more bites out of your torn up worms...
