What's Your Tossback Bait When You Miss A Pad/weed Strike?

[tcbass]

So you just missed a blow up on a topwater frog or other topwater on lily pads/weeds.

What do you use as a tossback bait, the same lure or do you reach for something else like a jig or senko?

[frogflogger]

senko type - for me usually a stik-o

[Maico1]

When it comes to Frogs and TopWater I throw the bait well beyond the Blowup point and then bring it right back into that zone the same way before the Blowup. If that does not work I continue that approach just with different retrieves through that strike zone if that fails then a follow up weightless worm gets the call...

I like a large profile plastic, something like a pitboss or a dbomb.

When you guys are using plastics and stuff are they weightless T-rigs? You aren't trying to punch them through?

Senko for me also. In pads my go to baits will be a hollow body frog usually a River2Sea or StrikeKing. If I miss one on the frog I'll throw a Yamamoto Senko back in there and a large percentage of the time be able to catch that fish.

Weightless Senko, t-rigged, in a color similar to the one they missed. Doesn't matter what type my first bait was, any missed strike, if I can get the Senko back to that area, that's what I'm throwing back at them.

And is the senko on spinning gear or baitcasting?

[bassmaster8100]

I use both I think it's more about the action of the rod not necessarily whether it's spinning to bait casting. I like it on a 7' MF rod

Weightless texas rig senko on casting gear.

A senko, or if in thick vegetation a compact creature bait.

Why creature bait over senko in thick vegetation?

Why creature bait over senko in thick vegetation?

Hard to get a weightless bait down there if you are in a really thick mat. The senko works better though whenever possible.

So you're not trolling the senko across the top? You're trying to drop the senko down down into pockets?

[Montanaro]

The point of the follow up bait is to mimic injured prey. Injured frog or shad is going to sink.

Im another for the senko.
