I learned a few new baits this year like senko type baits, flukes, brush hogs and even tried a top water white mouse over the weeds and i had a renewed success all over again. I guess fishing the same places over and over the fish do learn our baits so by interducing new baits we fool them and catch them all over again. And I thought the places were fished out? But I hung in there and stayed motivated and focused and success followed. In the heat of the summer when the bite gets tough plastics rule!!!
The Renosky 6" Scattering Shad is larger than a Fluke/Super fluke with more swimming action too. I nailed a nice bass today on it and lost another bigger one two days ago. I bought a new reel and didn't have the drag set tight enough. For the past few years I have been using a Quantum Iron spinning reel with crankbaits and switched this year because my son broke it he fell on my pole and the reel snapped off. Lucky no one was hurt thats all I worry about things can be replaced. But I already had another replacement backup while it wasn't the same reel it was ok. But I just noticed it wasn't catching fish like it did before with crankbaits, the new replacement reelis 5.1 to 1 ratio and the Iron was 5.7 to 1 ratio. I'm thinking this is why the other reel is faster so i bought a new one and I'll see if having 5.7ratio is faster and better than the other 5.1 using cranks? So many things influence fish catching action using different baits line size and reel ratio's its confusing at times? BigBill
I use the scattering shad the same as a fluke but it swims as it goes down when i stop moving it and it looks so real. So if its tough with using flukes try this scattering shad by Renosky it may make difference on a tough bite.
And when we have it right we catch more fish!!!!!!
