I admire your spirit, Bob. Swing for the fences! Successful anglers have to
be willing to lose a few lures sometimes in order to go into the thickest of
cover to root out bass that hunker down there. The theory is that you'll
expose your lures where few others have been seen, which is supposed to
provide an advantage. In fact, I think you're just reaching back into the
preferred hiding and ambush areas where the alpha bass lurk.

Yes, that advice is all well and good for tentative bass. But what do you
reach for when the bass turn and gaze at you thoughtfully.... Hmmmmmm?
Two things. I'll either goto a drop shot rig and jiggle it in their face,
or I'll stay with the senko and jerk it away from them when they even look
in its direction. That reaction strike works very well.
Lastly, if they just won't move I'll go out and bang crank baits off trees.
Spinner baits work too, but not many people will throw a crank bait out and
slam it through underwater tree branches. Its an edge in some conditions
that I don't mind losing a crank or two, and if that doesn't work I'll go
back and put that drop shot in through the tree branches.

My goto bait is a 5" (5.5"?) Kinami flash in Baby Bass.
I also use their Natural Shad Color in ultra clear water, and the Red
Shad
in very stained water or low light conditions.
When bass are actively feeding on sunfish I'll use a green pumpkin Tiki
Stick with
chartreuse tail because it sinks slower than the Kinami and matches the
forage better.
When the bite is very tentative I'll switch to the 4" kinamis in the same
colors. I fish stick worms a lot, and have even had an article title
"The
Stick Worm Phenomenon" published in the Arizona Outdoorsman.
I can give your bait an honest evaluation because I will use it.

Sorry Rich, all old e-mail addy's have bit the dust two computers ago.
Anyone that's interested should send me a private e-mail, so I can keep
you updated of anything.
