SW spinnerbaits

Great explaination Warren... and I'd probably think about putting this
info
in the FAQ's if anyone wants to second it

How does something that nasty and personal belong in the ROFB FAQ?

Sorry if I offended you in some way Mr Buck. Feel free to killfile me if
you don't like what I say. It's your right.

LoL I don't want to killfile anyone. Everyone has something good, or,
at the very least, entertaining to say.

And 'Mr. Buck' is my Dad. Call me Dave.

Seriously Buck... this is good stuff. Not the Rodney rant.

This is what was referring to:

Begin
The facts are this: The most common form of strike in bass fishing is a
reaction strike. That is because bass actually spend a very small portion
of each day actively feeding, if they feed at all that day. Bass strike
lures that come into their "strike window" because they are mean,
instinctive killers. These are basically inactive fish. That's why 90% of
the average basser's trips aren't the trips that they remember for the rest
of their lives.

Generally we have to work pretty hard for that limit. Only occasionally do
we encounter truly active, feeding fish. Those are the days that we load
the boat, Thank the Lord for them. When bass are actively feeding they are
quite catchable, maybe even with a rubber band bouncing only inches from
your lure.

Now, if you truly understand the reaction strike principle you know that
most bass don't inch up to a bait & look it over before eating. Sure,
occasionally they do. But more often than not giving a bass a great look at
a solitary lure is the ticket to failure. That's why if you watch the truly
great jig fishermen, flippers & pitchers like Denny Brauer & Tommy Biffle,
you'll see them put their bait right on shallow cover, let it sink to the
bottom, jiggle it once or twice, then retrieve for their next presentation.
These guys know that the odds of leaving that jig down there for a long
period of time & drawing a strike that didn't come almost instantly are not
good.

You may marvel at how Kevin Van Dam smokes down a shoreline with a
spinnerbait & loads the boat. You may find it a great contrast to the jig
fishing that Brauer does. But in reality he & Brauer are usually fishing
for the same kinds of strikes. Although they prefer using different fishing
methods to draw them, they both are looking for reaction strikes. They know
that is their best bet, plain & simple.

Just as most bass strike at anything they perceive as food that passes
within the reaction strike "window", 90% of bass spook at the first sign of
an unnatural element in their territory.

Ok, my mistake. I was replying to the whole post in question

I'll second it! I already put it in my save file.

Being quite sure that Andrew isn't following this thread... I'll send him an
e-mail.
