Hello,

Three real beginner questions, please:

a. when and where do you folks like to use that Power-Bait moldable stuff
(or the chunks) ?
Would you use it on a bare hook, or as an "adjunct" on some type of rig ?

I haven't caught many bass on any kind of food bait except nightcrawlers and
minnows.

b. Do ypou like to use a trailer, such as a power-bait crawdad, or such,
on
a "jig" that also has marabou like feathers ? Or, is this a bit "much" ?

I do use maribou jigs once in a while for crappie or bluegill... Never fish
them with a trailer, but I certainly like a bare white or black jig with a
matching twister tail for white bass.

c. How do you fish a "jig" ? Only vertically, or cast and retrieve, or...
?

Usually I pitch to targets and let it fall vertically, then I'll either
hop/drag it or swim it back to the boat depending on whether I think the
fish are aggressively chasing bait fish or rooting out craws. Most bass
will hit it on the initial fall. Occasionally, I'll get into a smallmouth
bite in current where they prefer it swimming more than anything.
