The Forgotten Finesse Fishing Rig-(Mid-Summer Bass Fishing)

Рет қаралды 28,279

4 жыл бұрын

Finesse fishing is by far my favorite way to catch a bass. There's just something special about reeling in a big bass on really light line. In this video, I break down a finesse rig that is near and dear to my heart that I truly believe has taken the back burner to more popular rigs right now.

I agree and always have one tied on. In Central Florida it's a down right killer when fished right behind someone else who is power fishing. Especially in deeper drops say from 10 to 18 ft of water. It does something to the bigger fish that's just unreal. It's like someone else woke em up and made them angry with a noisy big crank then a long comes the tiny little snack they just say yes to. It's been my sneaky approach this year and day in and day out the same fish from yesterday will eat again today. I like how u broke it all down. Great advice

Hey Andrew! You “nailed” it (no pun intended). The 3/16 Frenzy Nail has been my only shaky head on Lanier for 5-6 yrs now. Absolutely love it! It’s funny you mentioned the VMC rugby 1/8 head too. I use that all the time in ponds and smaller bodies of water, mainly with a brush hog or man bear pig. Overall awesome video!

Hey Andrew....if you haven't tried the megastrike shakey heads you are missing out on a good one ! Most shakey heads actually let the worm roll over and drag along the bottom sideways. ( check out Fish the Moment"s pool vidoes ) The megastrike heads have a very unique shape and feature a fulcrum so that they are almost impossible to roll over.....they are actually kind of a pain in a tackle tray since they by nature want to stand up. Not sponsored or affilated with them, just a very happy customer ! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion, always look forward to your vids.
