Jared Lintner is out on Lake Lanier in Georgia to talk about a somewhat forgotten West Coast finesse technique, the darter head. While this rig may not be as popular as modern day finesse techniques, when conditions get tough, fish get suspended or fishing pressure is high, this rig will still catch a lot of fish. As Lintner shares, don't be surprised to catch some big fish on it too. It's a natural presentation and the bait looks like an easy meal that bass can't resist. It gets in their face and produces a lot of bites. In this bass fishing on the water class, Lintner shares what jighead weights he fishes, the tackle he uses to fish this technique, some areas where he likes to fish it, where you'll often get bites (and how to detect them), how to fish a darter jighead and some of his favorite soft plastics from Jackall and Gary Yamamoto that he likes to fish on this rig.
