Must Try Tricks For Fall Finesse Fishing! ( Dropshot , Neko , Ned Rig , Swimbait )

[@MrDoItAll91]

Can’t beat waking up Monday morning hearing, “what’s up guys it’s Tim Little” Simply the best

[@Archenhaust]

BURN, BURN, BURN, pause...

[@legionssb]

Except when it’s Matt Allen AND Tim Little

[@WildBillHabiki]

Thank you for mentioning Aaron. He is the guy that really got me back into fishing. I took years off from fishing but saw him on MLF drop shotting and I just had to try it. I've been hooked on drop shotting since and Aaron is such a thoughtful, smart and nice guy. It really sucks that he got sick.

[@locosporelmarisco]

Hello, great Start of Week. Haven’t Fish in about 25 Years, just bought All KASTKING Fishing Gear. I like all your Advice and choosing of Baits for Fall.

[@rlperrin3876]

Thank you for your willingness to share your knowledge with the rest of us. More important telling us someone needs prayer speaks volumes of who you are..

[@nawinchester]

Anyone else start to sweat with that NRX spinning rod laying over the rail of the boat on the deck with Tim stepping all around it while landing fish on his Expride? That would be a snapped NRX on my boat........ Whew.... That said, this is one of my favorite topics. Good stuff.

[@Archenhaust]

Ugly Stik falls overboard: "Oh, no!... Anyway..." It hurts, but it's not the same

[@andyd834]

No but thats cause i dont buy gear that exspensive

[@rickyd865VOL]

Thank you Matt and Tim for all your in-depth insight.

Love the drop shot 🤘🏻🎣🇨🇦roboworm morning dawn 💥🎣💥🎣💥🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@dennisederer3594]

Another excellent presentation. Didn’t realize that Neko, Ned and other finesse presentations are still confidence techniques. Drop shot gets boring at times.

[@tacticalbassin]

It can but it flat catches them.

[@Scottster_]

I would humbly suggest entering the nail weight in the main body of the worm and have the "Point" of the weight stick out about an 1/8" from the head. of the worm. This definitely prevents those expensive tungsten nail weights from being thrown out of the worm, plus provides excellent bottom contact feedback due to the weight directly contacting the bottom. Great video!

[@_tinman]

Yessssir the pre work tactical bassin💯

[@ptcscagu2878]

Great info Tim. My lakes near me have been pounded for months. Finesse is the way to go at times.

[@danham3344]

Great video Tim! I have had some great days that drop-shooting the little Damiki Armor Shad has saved the day! That little guy kills em on a drop shot.

[@davidpenner2903]

It's been all crank baits and drop shots for me lately. Thanks for reinforcing my strategies on the water.

[@BasslivesmatterLLC]

When Tim talks about finesse fishing you better take notes 📝 📋 and listen. 💪🏿 🎣Tim and great vid thanks for the tip on the neko didn't realize I can power finesse fish it

[@stoneysdead689]

2 tips for the Neko rig- 1. If you're getting snagged up a lot try moving the hook toward the middle or end of the worm- it gets the hook up off bottom more and you snag less. It also helps you not dull the point of your hook on the rocks. Because the worm is still weighted in the nose as usual, it still stands up on bottom even if you move the hook back toward the tail. It does change the way it swims when you pick it up off bottom but, that's all- otherwise it's the same action. 2. If you're having issues with your nail weight getting thrown out or falling out try inserting it the other way around. Instead of sticking it straight in the nose of the bait come in at an angle up about an inch from the head of the worm and insert it at an angle down toward the head- it will not come out now. Bonus tip- if you let just a tad of the nail weight stick out the nose it ticks on the rocks and adds an acoustical layer to the presentation. Or- try the little zman heads that insert into the nose of the worm- you need to put a dab of glue on them but they stay put once you do. You can pre-rig 2-3 worms at home and it gives the glue time to dry and air out- I go ahead and put the o-rings on to- it's ready to fish.

Rise and shine! this early monday morning video just made my week :)

[@mikeybalzz]

dude when i saw that thumbnail i thought you guys had whacky rigged a banana - am i the only one? 😂

[@kirkblackadar7299]

I've been doing really well this year on those hazedong shads. They are super finesse and versatile, but a little soft. They are great on a underspin and chatterbait trailers too. I got on a deadly pre spawn hazedong under a float bite too 😉

[@richardblake4777]

We appreciate you Tim. Thanks for sharing your fishing knowledge.

[@5.7.0bassin2]

I really started to like that strike king baby z too for a drop shot

[@bmiller8255]

Thanks as always Tim!!

[@greghiday]

Thanks Tim for the great tips. Praying for Aaron.

[@DoubleBogeyBass]

Great tips and info as usual!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks for watching!

[@luisrosario1868]

Goodmorning from Florida. You guys are the greatest

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you Luis!

[@bassinbilliards6279]

I like that little megabass hazedong shad. I cought a lot of fish last winter on it.

[@5.7.0bassin2]

When I was in north Carolina this summer I stopped in missile baits and the guy there was telling me that hillbilly color 2 guys that live close to the shop actually came up with that color witch I thought was pretty cool

[@numberonenole4590]

Great video Tim!!!

[@tacticalbassin]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@luisrosario1868]

Prayers going up brother🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@albertkeyth7745]

Nice tips👏👏

[@richardbossman9875]

Maybe I’m weird but I like pulling out the finesse gear even when I don’t need to. I’ll take a 3” worm with a #4 or #6 rig N hook and a 1/32nd bullet weight over something like a spinner bait or a chatterbait.

[@learningtofish7036]

I did the same thing in the middle of summer. Like a micro Tex rig. Got some 2-3 pound LM.

[@morganvanschuyver]

Caught my last bass of the season yesterday. Got our first snow of the year here in Nebraska this morning. 😥 long winter ahead.

[@MrDoItAll91]

🤮

[@Mjones8383]

Nope, if my water gets hard I'm moving to Miami. Luckily in Alabama it has rarely if ever froze

[@waynelagarde7956]

So glad I live in Louisiana. I've never experienced a frozen lake in my life.

[@CanadianBasserman]

Some times you just gotta slow down and finesse them out!

[@edmunds_photography7998]

Berkley maxscent baits are definitely the best for smallmouth fishing

[@FisForFishing777]

Fish here aren't aggressive there on the bottom.Neko got it done and Yamamoto 5inch hula grub on heavy ned head caught

[@buellrichmond2842]

What water temps should I start using finesse fishing?

[@rafabonati7757]

Lots of people are not sure how to pronounce it. The Japanese pronunciation of Neko sounds like the old candy Necco Wafers. So to be correct, it’s “Neko”, not “Neeko”. Just for information purposes.

[@braddistler5697]

Your missing out on the 5150 worms. 4-5 types of garlic scent and I swear fish actually like to eat it. Most bites they just hold it and stay put. Super hard to feel them on until dense feeling without rock like algae feels and just start reeling. 20-30seconds to get it to take it in and after all the time I still hook top lip consistently. Az fish are pressured more than anywhere else.

[@nealatthecrossfishing]

I have started switching all my shaky head worms to T Mac’s. I just wish they made a green pumpkin blue.

[@ehronw7565]

They have Okeechobee Craw which is close.

[@vinosfinostapasandwinebar5109]

Tim, tell us if you are going to Mega live and if so, how are you going to install? On the Ultrex or an independent pole, with or without foot pedal. Hear the Mega Live is just stating to hit the market in November..

[@tacticalbassin]

I just got mine installed. hennesseyoutdoorelectronics.com/ right here in town by us had them in stock and they did my install. It turned out great! They set me up with an independent pole so I can still use it while spot locked. Ive only used it one day but we will be doing some videos on it soon. So far im really impressed with the ease of using it and the lack of interference from my 360.

[@vinosfinostapasandwinebar5109]

@@tacticalbassin thanks for the reply. I have the same issue as I use spot lock a lot. I want one with foot petals so I can point ML like a trolling motor. Look forward to your videos on this topic and any hints. I am pretty sure I bought your Mega live with all the purchases from TackleWarehouse per your recommendation. I thank you, my wife...not so much!

[@babayagathebasscatcher_7922]

What size like are u throwing on your shakey head and drop shot?

[@aaronlaurinec8700]

Is the 882 your favorite Ned rig rod?? And the plutonium green pumpkin is 🔥 just the name itself makes me like it 😂

[@tacticalbassin]

I havent fished it enough to give that answer yet. So far I like it though

[@WONDES984]

very nice brother

[@marcanzlovar72]

Tim, what Dobyns Rod you like for ned rigs?

[@tacticalbassin]

It depends what your price point is but i generally like their 742 models

[@taddbednar9957]

Looking to rebuild my rod and reel arsenal. Starting with spinning rods. Ultimately want to have 7 combos, 5 casting, 2 spinning. Already have a Zodias 7'5" Heavy casting and Expride 7'2" MH casting. I like to throw weightless wacky rig and Ned rigs when the need arises. If I had to pick one spinning rod, picking between Expride, Zodias, Intenza, and Dobyn's Fury, and you want to be reasonable on cost, but also if it's totally worth it and you should spend it, what do you go with. If you had to have one. For wacky and Ned.

[@tacticalbassin]

Great idea and it sounds like you're already on your way to a really nice lineup. Out of those brands you listed, Expride is hands down the best. Id go with these bit.ly/2osaj3q 7'medium 7' light+

[@w_xyooj24]

Man been using the wacky rig and almost cought a 4 pounder but my line got snap cuz my line got fraid

[@texbassman681]

Tim, what’s the scoop on that IMX NRR? Preferred Length? Other techniques for that rod?

[@tacticalbassin]

Great question! Im still deciding if i like the shorter rod for ned rigging honestly. It feels good and the sensitivity is there but I havent loaded up on a jumbo smallie yet.

[@Twangtown7]

Ok, who else thought that was a banana in the thumbnail??

[@Mjones8383]

Dependable, every Monday I get TB to get my work week going

[@timevans6815]

What’s your take on the new unirig from Japan?

[@tacticalbassin]

I havent spent any time with it yet.

[@HowieDewitt7575]

Ahhhh Monday again...

[@charlesletts5934]

Were can I get the UV glue and light

[@tommcmurtry1206]

Where did you get the UV light for the glue?

[@tacticalbassin]

The same company sells the UV light too. I bought mine from TW but it looks like they aren't carrying them right now.

[@brandonwalmsley1863]

We are getting close to that time of year! Guys, I need some advice. I’m looking at buying a kick butt combo, and I already have the reel (Shimano Chronarch MGL). But, I’m having trouble settling on a rod. I’ve owned St. Croixs, so I want to go the shimano route. But I need to know. Best bang for buck, sensitivity and strength. Do I go Zodias, Expride, or Adrena?

[@tacticalbassin]

Bang for the buck? Expride is INCREDIBLE for the $$ 👊🏻

[@brandonwalmsley1863]

@@tacticalbassin I know y’all really love the Exprides. I watched last years Combo videos and the look on y’all’s faces talking about the Exprides over other rods is a dead giveaway to the quality of that line of rods. I appreciate it!!!

[@01KINGKENG]

Anyone know that NRX rod he is using??

[@callanfishing]

So sad about Aaron , props to mention him

[@tagg946]

"... and you only wanting to be throwing finesse if you absolutely have to" I dont throw finesse every time i go out in the fall, dont know what youre talkin bout. 👀

[@5.7.0bassin2]

Man I'm so mad at myself over the weekend I broke my zodius my first rod in the $200 range and I broke it

Tell Aaron to start eating a lemon Rhine or two a day. Squeeze the lemon juice into shot glass full of vinegar twice a day kicks cancers ass
