Its smaller profile and subtle tail flutter make it a great choice for finesse bass fishing in clear water and pressured conditions, as well as targeting walleye and perch. The kicker-style tail moves on the fall, with gentle rod movements, and during a steady swimming retrieve, giving you lifelike action without a loud presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhoto comparison:\u003c\/strong\u003e Some photos show the 5.5\", 7\", and 9\" Kickin’ Finesse Worms for size comparison.
