Your Favorite Finesse Lure

[ww2farmer]

My favorite is what ever is getting bit. Today it was a Ned rigged TRD, tomorrow it might be a 4" yum dinger on a drop shot, a week from the 4th of July it might be a 6" worm on a shaky head, two weeks after the last full moon in October with the smell of burning tires in the air it might be white post it note on 5/0 treble hook................point is, I don't know until I know. I let my gut, what my eyes and brain are seeing for the days conditions,  and past exp. guide me a little on what I do. I have lots of stuff I lean on when it's tuff, some days I find THE thing they will bite, some days are a swing and a miss.

Small paddletails are always in style.....

 

While new for 2018 are chubby little tubes....

 

I have never found a weedless rigging method for the 4" Easy Shiners, ideally I want a small, thin-wire twistlock hook but with only like a 1/16oz belly weight.  I also want it to ride really tight up to the body. Those draggin head's I use for the tubes are almost perfect, but I wish the weight was further back.  They are still the best I have found though.  

 

EDIT: That was not a Chubby Little Tube, the correct pic is now up.  The are great rigged on the draggin heads, they are heavy enough for a decent current but still do a slow gliding fall.  The hookset raito is outstanding as well.
