Post hoc ergo propter hoc.

Since you retreive it following the initial drop, you leave them precious
little opportunity to hit it at any other point. To me, a worm or jig is
far to valuable an information gathering probe to waste my time reeling it
straight in when I could be learning information about bottom contour,
content and cover that will help me catch more fish in the long run.
