A thin walled finesse tube, a 4 inch yum dinger, any of the Z-man ned rig baits, and of course a finesse worm of some type always do great for me on a light texas rig with spinning tackle. 

okay I never thought of tubes! I will have to pick up some

Sluggish after the spawn? In my parts that's exactly the opposite. Water is warming and cranking up their appetites. Now is when you should be upsizing your baits not downsizing.

 

I guess it's just me but I've grown weary of the word finesse. Everywhere you look people are downsizing and calling it finesse.

Finesse swimbaits

Finesse topwater

Finesse t-rigs 

Maybe it's just me, not throwing shade at you op just voicing my opinion 

Fair enough, I live in california and many of our lakes are heavily overfished, given my name. I have found downsizing tends to get more bites, although not as big, at least you catch fish. On a typical weekday I see 30-40 boaters on the water, and weekdays can have even a hundred. When those fish see the typical 6 inch worm they get a little picky, or baitshy. If i lived in texas or flordia I would always through large baits

I get to show off my idea for a finesse punching rig again!

 

I never thought of texas rigging a ned bait Plus Zman makes super strong plastics that wont tear. I may try that on beds because they kept picking at my lizard tails and worm tails

The old 6 inch Jelly Worm is my finesse worm . I tinkered with 4 inch worms but they just dont do it for me .

So dragging a big Huddleston painfully slow is finesse? ?

Yeah, put it on the bottom and barely crawl that thing and it is.

I really like the Rattlesnake and Airtail Rattler from Grandebass, they make a good straight tail as well.  For creature baits its hard to beat a Biffle Bug
