Great Lakes Finesse

Welcome to the world of finesse fishing revolutionized by Great Lakes Finesse. As experienced anglers at TackleDirect, we're thrilled to introduce you to this brand dedicated to helping you conquer pressured fish that are elusive to traditional baits. These products are born from the minds of hyper-competitive tournament anglers who know the challenges of today's fishing world. Dive in to discover what sets Great Lakes Finesse apart.

Stealthy Success

When you're targeting cunning fish in high-pressure environments, the last thing you want is unnatural underwater shine. Great Lakes Finesse understands this well. They've pioneered a manufacturing process that eliminates shine from our baits, saving you the trouble of rubbing them on your boat's deck. Enjoy the advantage of stealthiness and sneak up on your trophy catch.

Tear Resistant - Fish More, Spend Less

We get it; fishing gear isn't cheap, and losing a bait after a single catch can be frustrating. That's why Great Lakes Finesse spared no expense in sourcing the highest quality materials without fillers. Their plastics are soft, supple, and exceptionally tear-resistant. Say goodbye to constantly replacing baits. Great Lakes Finesse ensures you spend less on baits and contribute less plastic to the lake—win-win!

Anglers First Philosophy

Great Lakes Finesse is born of passion. A group of dedicated tournament anglers and fishing industry experts came together because they couldn't find the finesse-focused baits and terminal tackle they needed. So, they took matters into their own hands, crafting each product from scratch. No pre-built molds or generic overseas purchases—everything is proudly made in Canada with the highest-quality raw materials. The Great Lakes Finesse mission is simple: to create fishing products that empower you to catch more fish.
