Finesse fishing

Buy the gear here. Finesse fishing is a collective term for fishing with light equipment primarily for bass, but also for zander.

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.

What size jig head with hook should I use?

Here’s a simple guide for those wondering which jig heads with hooks fit which jig lengths. What determines the jig head to use is the hook size, as it decides where on the jig body the hook exits. Then you can choose different weights for the jig head depending on how deep you want the jig to go, or shapes that suit different fishing methods better.

There are also other types of jig heads without hooks, called 'Screw-In-Heads,' often used in pike fishing, where the smallest sizes fit jigs from about 13-14 cm and up.

Hook size	Jig length
1/0	approx. 3 to 5 cm
2/0	approx. 4 to 6 cm
3/0	approx. 6 to 7 cm
4/0	approx. 8 to 9 cm
5/0	approx. 9 to 11 cm
6/0	approx. 11 to 14 cm
7/0	approx. 12 to 14 cm
8/0	approx. 14 to 18 cm
10/0	approx. 18 to 24 cm
12/0	approx. 25 to 30 cm
