zwhiten12 Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Let's say a bass nails your spinnerbait and you miss the hook set for whatever reason. Should I cast the spinnerbait out again or switch lures? If I should switch lures, what is a good follow up lure? Thanks y'all! Quote
scbassin Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I either cast the spinnerbait again or cast a weightless senko type bait. 2 Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted January 19, 2013 BassResource.com Administrator Posted January 19, 2013 I cast again. Caught my PB (9.1 lbs) that way. But if that doesn't get a strike, then I'll throw a worm, jig, tube, Senko...something with a slower, different action. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 19, 2013 Global Moderator Posted January 19, 2013 Cast again. It wanted it the first time, why not again? If that doesn't work a wacky rigged senko style bait is my next option. Quote
BasskingKeith Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Everyone here is so knowledgeable, and always seems to have my answers and ideas lol. Cast again, or throw a senko- is what I do. 1 Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted January 19, 2013 Super User Posted January 19, 2013 I'll throw the spinnerbait right back in there, retrieved a little faster. The 3rd cast is with something slower. Quote
zwhiten12 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 Thanks for the help y'all! Hopefully Ill catch the fish next time! 1 Quote
mc6524 Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 It all depends on how aggressive the fish have been. If the fish have been aggressive then I'd throw the spinnerbait again. If not, I'd go to a Senko, or split shot worm. Quote
Super User Teal Posted January 19, 2013 Super User Posted January 19, 2013 I agree, cast again. Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 It's customary when someone I'm fishing with misses a fish on a bait like a spinnerbait to tell me and allow me to cast a lure of my choice at his lost opportunity. It's called courtesy. Yea right lol. Best bait to follow up is weightless senko wacky rigged Same with missing a fish on a buzz wit or crank bait. Fish miss baitfish all of the time in the real world. When they miss they often search for their wounded prey. Caught many retreads with this technique Quote
