When talking about finesse fishing, it often involves methods like Texas, Carolina, dropshot, Ned, Neko, or Wacky. These are productive fishing techniques that have achieved great success in recent years. Since it's about fishing that is often to be performed with finesse - read careful presentation and gentle retrieval - you should choose a rod and a reel that harmonize with the method. A light, sensitive rod combined with a smaller reel allows you to retrieve the bait with precision, feel subtle bites, and then quickly hook the fish. Should you choose a spinning or baitcasting reel? Well, there really isn't a right or wrong, just choose the reel that feels right for you.

Length of lure (grouping)
Here, we’ve chosen to divide the lures into different weight groups, just as we’ve categorized rods into casting weight groups, to make it easier for you in this jungle.
Ultra-light includes the very lightest lures, often weighing just a few grams.
Light includes many of the lures used for perch fishing with smaller soft baits, small crankbaits, and spinners.
Light - Medium and Medium contain most common lures in the mid-weight class - spoons, crankbaits, spinners, and other lures intended for everything from sea trout to lighter pike fishing.
Heavy is a common measure for pike fishing.
Extra heavy and Super heavy include lures for, e.g., saltwater fishing and heavier pike fishing.

Here, we’ve categorized the products based on which fish you want to hook. We’ve relied on what manufacturers specify, but also on experience of what usually works. The list could almost be endless, and many things work for more species than we’ve listed, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
