Some lures on some days may attract bass but not
trigger a strike. There are no simple rules so you have to let
the bass tell you what makes them strike on a given day. Experiment.
If one technique is not working, try something different.
Some days a plastic worm or lizard on a Carolina
rig worked slowly is the best bass fishing to be found. Other
days this just does not work. Maybe the bass are not actively
feeding or they are not relating to the bottom. Some days bass
seem to only look up.
Try a faster moving lure like JERK FLASH, SOFT JERK
or a FLASH RUNNER SPINNER BAIT run over the fish. Use an erratic
retrieve. Make the bass react. The bass has to strike before this
flashing thing gets away. Keep these lures even with or just above
the depth the bass are holding.
Give the bass something that is just too easy to
pass up. Tie on a SOFT JERK OR FLASH RUNNER SPINNER BAIT and erratically
let it fall right in front of the bass's nose. Work the lure and
then kill it and let it fall just as it passes bass holding cover.
Often bass only follow a lure but not hit it. Stopping the lure
and letting it fall often triggers a strike.
Try letting your crank bait or spinner bait pause
for just a moment then start cranking again. This works very well
just as the lure passes bass holding cover. If you cannot see
the cover, just stop the lure every few turns of the reel. Often
the pause triggers a strike.
