Power Finesse Fishing with Stetson Blaylock

When approaching a body of water I first try my normal routine of power fishing with a Texas rig, jig, or Livingston Lures Crankbait since it is how I was originally taught. If the bite seems tougher I will then I try “Power Finesse Fishing” before resorting to Finesse fishing. My style of Power Finesse fishing involves using the same finesse presentations but in a larger way. By doing this you can still use the sly tactics without changing completely over to the spinning rod/small line diameter combo. My go to options are a 7’1 MH 13 Fishing Envy Black paired with a  Concept E 6:6:1 reel with Seaguar 12lb or 15lb invisx fluorocarbon line. On this set-up I would use a little larger hook and sinker combo to drop-shot as well as a bigger worm or shad. For example when normally drop-shotting I would use a #1 straight shank hook with a 1/4 or 1/16 oz weight and a small 4in or 6in worm like the Gary Yamamoto Pro Senko but when Power Finesse Fishing I will upsize to a #3 or #4 hook with a 3/8 or 1/2 oz weight and a 6in to 10in worm like the Gary Yamamoto Cut tail worm. This option can be used in any situation when the bite turns tough in an off-shore tournament. With warmer weather approaching this is awesome in post-spawn situations when bass are in transition and moving out deeper.
