EGbassing Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 Just wondering what kind of finesse lures most people use. Just bought my first finesse setup but I'm not sure what to buy first. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted July 10, 2018 Super User Posted July 10, 2018 Tough question for me as I like a few almost equally. I gave the nod to Ned, tho, since it is the newest finesse rig I've tried, and enjoyed. Quote
OCdockskipper Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 Ned for me, probably because of the results. Quote
Super User Spankey Posted July 10, 2018 Super User Posted July 10, 2018 Drop shot and split shot rigs. 4"-5" worms. Quote
Glaucus Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 Wacky Rig, since I mostly fish ponds. In lakes, drop shot. Rivers and streams, Ned Rig. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 10, 2018 Global Moderator Posted July 10, 2018 Wacky is my favorite but I fish a Ned more. 1 Quote
Jelvas Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 A 3" to 4" grub (Zoom Fat Albert most of the time) on a 1/4 to 3/8oz jighead! When everything else fails a grub on a jighead is my savior! 4 Quote
Super User Mobasser Posted July 11, 2018 Super User Posted July 11, 2018 Light Texas rig, split shot rig, and shakey head. Mostly zoom finesse worms and roboworms, sometimes smaller craw baits Quote
Happybeerbuzz Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Mojo rig is what I have had tied on this year so far with various zoom plastics. Quote

Super User ww2farmer Posted July 11, 2018 Super User Posted July 11, 2018 The ned and Neko rig have been getting a lot of work for me lately, but day in day out, wacky rigs and drop shotting still are my go to. Quote
Super User JustJames Posted July 11, 2018 Super User Posted July 11, 2018 Wacky get my nod. Second would be stand up jig head. Quote
Super User burrows Posted July 11, 2018 Super User Posted July 11, 2018 Big TRD never fails me ? Quote
Super User TOXIC Posted July 11, 2018 Super User Posted July 11, 2018 Weightless Senko. But a Ned with a Cali-Roll Yamamoto, just tore up the smallmouth this year on St Clair. Quote
ohboyitsrobby Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 The wacky rig is my favorite. But my most productive is a dropshot. And I use a shaky head the most. Quote
Todd2 Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Which one do I pick if I wacky rig a TRD on a drop shot while shaking? ? lol In all seriousness, I go with the Ned. Last year, it would've been the drop shot. Quote
The Kawartha Angler Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 For finesse, due to the water depth it is either weightless wacky for a slow fall, or a dropshot wacky to get down deeper quicker. This is on a medium action spinning setup. My finesse/dropshot setup is a Shimano Crucial rod with a Shimano CI4+ reel and 8lb Fluoro. Quote
punch Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 It used to be the dropshot... but i find myself reaching for the deadly nedly these days. Neko rig with an Exo Stick is a favorite too. Quote
tander Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Ned rig for shallow and a drop shot for deep using Z Man plastics. Quote
Bill Kowalski Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Caught a nice one last night on the old Texas Rig with a Zoom lizard and a few dinks with a shaky head. Haven't gone to the Ned yet. I like to drop shot when over the top of them when a little deeper as well. Quote
kenmitch Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 I don't really enjoy finesse type fishing at all. I've tried the ned rig a couple of times and caught 2 dinks with 1 of them being the smallest bass I've ever caught. I guess I've had my best luck finesse style fishing with the shaky head setup so far. I think I was more born to grind crankbaits as it's really the only way I love to fish. Hit or miss but that doens't matter to me. I did catch my largest Spot (4lb)on a shakey head setup. Caught a LMB on a shaky head that was around 6lbs. Quote
RichF Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 1/2 oz jig with a 4 inch chigger craw on 17lb fluoro vs my normal 3/4 oz with a rage craw on 50lb braid 2 Quote
thinkingredneck Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Does weightless t rig trickworm count? Quote
