MDJ got introduced to finesse fishing when he started getting his butt kicked only using power fishing techniques his first year on tour. Mark knew that he needed to be a more versatile angler and committed to learning how to catch more bass on the "sissy stick" or "fairy wand", which is what some hardcore power fishermen call spinning tackle.
