To me, the technique of finesse fishing is primarily about presentation.

对我来说，精细作钓的主要技术在于“呈现”

——Mike Iaconelli

One of the misconceptions I hear a lot in my seminars is that finesse fishing is limited to light lines, whippy spinning rods and tiny 3-inch baits. It s something you generally do in deeper water when nothing else works, and all you can expect to do is catch small bass. Nothing, absolutely nothing, could be further from the truth. You can finesse with power, using baitcasting tackle, heavy lines, big sinkers and big plastics. You can even finesse crankbaits and spinnerbaits, but my favorite presentation comes straight from drop shotting, and it s called power shotting.

我时常听到的关于finesse钓法的一个错误观点，是很多朋友认为finesse钓法靠的就是细线软竿和那些两三寸的小饵。但这种方法通常是在深水做钓时其他方法都不奏效的时候才做，而且往往上钩的也都是小鱼——但事实远非如此！你可以给finesse技法加点力，用枪柄装备、粗线、重铅和大软饵。你甚至可以用finesse技法来玩crank饵和复合亮片，但是我最喜欢的还是倒钓，我称之为“强力倒钓”。

Normally, I base my decision to do power shotting on just two factors: heavy cover and the size of the bass I might catch. With the exception of a heavier rod and line, larger hook and usually a larger bait, everything else in power shotting is the same as in normal drop shotting. It s still about keeping your lure above the bottom and maintaining a natural presentation.

通常，我决定是否用强力倒钓取决于两个因素：重障碍和鱼的大小。除了硬竿、粗线、大钩子和大饵之外，强力倒钓的其他部分和平常的倒钓基本是一样的。它依然是把你的饵保持在离底一定的高度，然后保持饵的自然状态。

Instead of my spinning rod, I use a 7-foot baitcasting rod or maybe even a flipping stick, and instead of 8-pound fluorocarbon with a 3/16-ounce weight, I move up to 15- to 17-pound fluorocarbon with a 1/2-ounce or heavier sinker, and I rig them with 3/0 to 5/0 heavy gauge hooks (extra wide gap for the creature baits). Knot-wise, I m generally using an improved clinch because it works so well with fluorocarbon.

我不用直柄竿，而是用7尺的枪柄竿甚至是flipping竿；我也不用8lb 氟碳线和3/16oz的倒钓铅，取而代之的是15到17lb的氟碳线，搭配1/2oz或者更重的铅坠，然后我用3/0或者5/0的宽腹大钩。打结也要注意，我一般用改进的克林奇结因为它非常适合氟碳线。

Remember, your presentation is the same even with this bigger stuff — don t overwork your bait. Regardless of whether you re fishing brush, a boat dock, or even heavy mats of vegetation, get the bait into the cover, keep a slight bow in your line, and just let the bait sit there and work for you. The bow in your line does let you shake the bait every once in a while without moving the sinker.

记住，即使用这些重型装备，你的呈现方法也是一样的——不要过多操控你的饵。不管你是钓树丛、船坞或者重水草垫，把钓组抛进障碍中，保持钓线半弯曲，然后让饵停在水中，自己表演。弯曲的线给你留有空间，让你隔一会儿可以抖抖竿尖，保持饵动铅不动。

Most fishermen shake a drop shot way too much. You don t have to move it; current, natural hand movement and the design of the lure itself will keep it moving. Sometimes drop shotting is like deadsticking, in which you cast, let the lure get to the bottom, and you just leave it there. As I said, heavy cover and big bass are the two main reasons I use power shotting. You ve probably heard bass pros talk about punching the mats. This is a presentation that began in Florida where the milfoil, hydrilla, and hyacinths often mat thickly on the surface. The technique soon spread to Alabama, Texas and other places where some of the lakes have similar conditions. Basically, punching began as a flipping/pitching technique with a heavier 1-ounce sinker pegged to a plastic lure; the extra weight was needed to pull the bait through the grass. A lot of pros still do it this way, too.

大部分的钓手对倒钓钓组抖动太多。其实你不一定非要去抖动它；水流、手的自然移动以及饵自身的设计都会让饵呈现自然的状态。有时候倒钓就有点像“打海竿”，你抛出去，让饵到底，然后就放那儿不管。如我所说，重障碍和大bass是我决定用强力倒钓的两个主要因素。你很有可能也听过职业bass钓手谈过的“穿越草垫”。这种技法源于福罗里达州，那里水面上密布着厚重的草垫。这方法迅速传播到了阿拉巴马州、德克萨斯州以及其他有类似水面的地方。简单说，“穿越”（Punching）刚开始作为flipping/pitching的一个细分技法，用1oz的铅，搭配软饵；加大的铅重主要作用就是带着饵穿越水草，很多职业钓手现在依然这么做。

For me, this is a perfect place to use power shotting, and I do it every time I m fishing a lake with matted surface vegetation. I set up my heavy drop shot rig, even upgrading my line to 20- or 25-pound fluorocarbon, and using a 1-ounce tungsten sinker with a 10-inch red shad PowerBait worm. The reason I don t use braid, even in heavy cover like this, is because braid floats so I don t get a natural fall with my lure, and bass can see it. I think fluorocarbon is a much better choice.

对我来说，这样的地方用强力倒钓再完美不过了，我每次做钓这种重草垫水面的时候都这么做。这时候，我会用20或者25磅的氟碳线，然后用1oz的钨钢坠，搭配10寸的红鲱色威力虫。即便在这样重障碍的地方我也不用PE线的原因在于，PE浮水，所以会让我的饵下沉动作不自然，而且PE线是有色的，bass可以看到它。我觉得氟碳线会好很多。

You can cast when you re power shotting mats, or maybe move closer and pitch to the cover. The heavy weight will pull your lure through, but here s where it shines. When the sinker reaches the bottom, your lure is still up in the water column where plastics are seldom fished — and it s staying there. That s something the pitchers and flippers can t really do. If you ve never fished thick, matted surface vegetation, especially in Florida, let me tell you why power shotting like this is so effective. First, there is open water underneath the vegetation, and the grass and the root stems of the hyacinths dangling in this open water are covered with tiny grass shrimp about 1/4 inch long.

当你用强力倒钓时，你可以上手抛，也可以下手荡抛。重坠会带着饵穿过水草，但是有一个优点：当坠子到底之后，你的饵并没到底，它停留在离底的某个水层，而那个位置是很少被钓过的。这是pitching或者flipping钓组做不到的。如果你从未钓过这样的重水草区，尤其是在福罗里达，让我告诉你为什么强力倒钓会这么有效。在厚厚的草垫下面，是开阔的水域，那里水草的根茎悬在水中，其间布满了小小的草虾，他们约1/4英寸长。

When your heavy sinker and worm punch through, they knock some of those little shrimp off the roots, and suddenly the bluegills and sunfish start feeding. Their movement and feeding triggers the bass into action, and the first thing they see is your big plastic bait quivering right there in that open water column. 

当你的重铅和软饵穿过时，他们把一些草虾从根茎表面带落，立马引得太阳鱼来进食。他们的游动和进食则引发了bass的行动，此时bass在这块开阔水层首先看到的就是你的大软饵。

Power shotting really works well around bridge pilings, too, because not only do the big concrete structures collect brush being washed downstream, they can also attract some big bass that generally suspend beside those pilings and brush. My presentation here is often to put my boat slightly downstream and cast upstream beside the pilings, then walk and drift my bait down current.

强力倒钓在桥梁桩柱附近也非常奏效，大的混凝土结构不但拦截了一些顺流冲下的树枝，也吸引了一些大bass悬浮在这些桩柱和树枝附近。我在这样的地方做钓，一般是把船控在桩柱的下游处，然后往上游的方向抛投，然后让船慢慢顺流漂。

Sometimes you can catch nice bass by fishing directly behind the pilings on their downstream side where the bass can get some protection from current. The best places are where the current has washed out a slightly deeper hole behind the pilings. As a result, the water flow pattern has changed and more food washes around the piling and into that deeper depression. Again, I hold my boat downstream in the current and cast upstream and let the water wash my bait right into that hole.

有时你直接在紧贴桩柱背流的那一面就能钓到不错的bass，在那里鱼可以躲开湍急的水流。但最好的地方还是桩柱稍稍靠下游一点的地方，那里被水流冲刷出一个比周边低一些的坑。这样一来，水流模式被改变，桩柱附近水流中的食物更多的冲向这个坑洼中。我还是一样在水流中把船控在下游，然后往上游抛，再让船顺流飘下，把我的饵刚好带向这个坑洼中。

You can power shot with spinning gear, and I do use spinning gear on occasion for this. I spool with a braided line, and use a much longer fluorocarbon leader, again, so the bass won t see it. I don t use as large a lure or sinker; mainly what I m doing is beefing up my line. But if I m in really thick cover, or looking for heavier bass, I ll use my baitcasting setup. I ve caught bass around 8 pounds power shotting, so you know it works.

你也可以用直柄装备来玩强力倒钓，我有时候也确实这么干。这时我线杯上绕编织线，然后用长长的氟碳线做前导，这样bass就不会看见钓线。我也不会用那么大的饵和铅坠，因为我要让他们和线匹配。但是如果我确实在重障碍中，或者我的目标是大个的bass，我就会马上用枪柄套装。我用强力倒钓钓到过8lb重（约7斤）的bass，因此这确实是管用的！
