In bass fishing, there are two schools of thought: power fishing and finesse fishing. Some anglers like only to burn a crankbait to get those big reaction strikes, while others prefer to go super-slow with a wacky rig or a jig to entice stubborn bass into biting. These types of fishing rarely, if ever, cross ever. Or do they? In this video we’ll discuss how they can (and should) work together in order to get as many bites when your out bass fishing! #fishing #bassfishing #fishingtips

Do you like to fish fast or slow?
I go in spurts. Spinner and friggin rooster tail has been killing it for me this spring. Last year I used exclusively Texas rig worms and Ned craws. Haven’t given the time for top water. But just having fun man. And for my boys. Just have some fun whatever works
One of the best pro flipping fisherman, Jason Christie, is a hybrid. He flips very fast and moves down the bank like he’s throwing a crankbait.
That said, I have transitioned from power fishing into finesse fishing. Starting out, I exclusively used and bought crankbaits. Then one day, I was outfished by my friend who caught an 8 lbs largemouth by a jig. I tried so hard to catch that bass with my crankbait for an hour but to no avail, I failed and told my friend that there’s a “5 pounder..” On his first cast, that bass turned her attention my friend’s jig and she’s was on! Since that day, I slowly transitioned over to finesse and have morphed into a hybrid finesse fisherman. I still don’t like going slow but I am exclusively using soft baits now. So that’s my story. 😅
I have always been a Finesse angler. But this past year, and currently, I am adding new arsenal to my tackle bag. Why ? Just like you said Lowbrow, I realized I was being crazy for not being a well rounded angler. Now I am doing and and actually having a blast. I'm not a hard bait guy , but I will do what I need to do to get the fish. I recently learned how to fish a fluke. I absolutely love it and I'm enjoying the Boy Howdy. My goal is to be ready for any situation.
Im the weird guy who fished spinning rods my whole life, so when i finally jumped to baitcasters i bought a left hand reel. I carry them both bank fishing for different occasions. Zman goat toad stays on my baitcaster, ill throw it first in a fan pattern left to right. Then if no indicators, ill throw my spinning finesse right behind it. Its a proven system for me on the bank
What's a good bait to use in dirty water after it rains
I fish slow and fast All depend on where I am at.
Neither is better but power is more fun 😊
Thanks for sharing this! Some good stuff as always! Very interesting! Hope you have a great weekend buddy!
I had similar conditions yesterday. On a river and it was just super dirty. Found them power fishing and then slowed down with a shaky. Just love chasing those river smallies!
The older I get the slower I always seem to go. I just don't get in a hurry like I used to,
I'm more of a shallow water power fisherman. Burning cranks and getting big bites is what I really love doing.
Nothing better from the bank than a TRD ned. It's what I use more often than not
Really enjoy your videos, keep'em coming. Hope I get to fish with you one day. I'd love to get you up here on my favorite electric only no outboard lake and let you dissect it.
I never thought about if I was power fishing or not but a buddy of mine won't touch anything like a worm
I fish faster than I used to. I vary the retrieve with a lipless and burn it fast. I also like to fish a ned rig if I see a spot I want to really work.
I usually go slow from the bank but I like to use a small crankbait from time to time
