In past threads when talking about slow bite, tough days I've seen many recommend downsizing to a smaller bait, lighter line to draw strikes from bass. I've done this, and noticed that sometimes it works, sometimes not. It may not always be the best option. I've caught bass that stopped hitting a larger worm, craw, or other soft plastic by changing color, or more importantly,changing the retrieve. If I try the bigger baits first, I'll downsize to a smaller worm. If I fish the area thourouly and can't get a strike, I'll move to a new spot, and come back later. Plus, there's always a chance you could draw a hit from a bigger fish, with a larger bait. Is downsizing your first choice when things get slow? And, has it worked consistently for you?
