Since I joined BR, I've seen mention of things that trigger strikes. It seems like most folks have made this work when the fishing is slow. Some examples : 1. Ripping a lipless bait through weeds. 2. Banging a spinnerbait or hard bait into stumps or other wood cover. 3. Dead sticking a plastic bait, then twitching in place. 4. Reeling a spinnerbait or soft plastic bait until it hits cover, then killing the the retrieve, letting the bait" die" on the fall.( I know from experience this one works). I've had some success with these triggers, but I've also wasted time getting hung up, or ruining a good cast. Have you had much success doing this? Also forgot to mention, a stop/ start with spinnerbaits or lipless baits can sometimes draw a good hit. What methods have you used to trigger strikes when the fishing is slow?
