3 Reasons You Aren't Catching Bass on Finesse Swimbaits

The finesse swimbait is one of the most effective ways to catch pressured bass in clear water, but subtle mistakes in your rigging and retrieve can completely ruin the action. In this video, I break down the top 3 mistakes anglers make when fishing small swimbaits like the Keitech Fat Swing Impact or Spark Shad.

We cover exactly how to rig your swimbait perfectly straight to avoid line twist, how to select the right jighead weight for the depth you are fishing, and why the “pendulum fall” is the secret to getting more bites. If you want to master finesse swimbait fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass, this guide will help you fix your technique.
