CroakHunter Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 I always dead stick a drop shot with a popping pad crasher jr tied on. One of my best producers.... Quote
Leftymuk Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 What does a bird in a nest have to do with a dead piece of wood and catching bass? Quote

Bassun Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 We were fishing a local tourney years ago. Partner had a crank on and back lashed. He's fighting with the line while I fish on. Then I notice his line swimming off. He was just finishing getting the mess cleaned up so he reels like a mad man and sets the hook... on a solid fish! It's dragging off line and he's hooting about it being a bigg'un. I didn't really believe him too much until it almost surfaced and I got a glimps and it was definitely a brute! Ended up going about 10 pounds! The only problem is it was a bass tourney and he got ate up by a crazy channel cat! A couple casts later, dragging a worm I had a flat head chase it down. I don't know what they were doing, but if we had been fishing for fun it would have been awesome! He had another cat chase his crank and we left the cove. I hate leaving fish, but cat's don't pay when you're fishing for bass money lol. Quote
Trigger753 Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 Lmao. I have caught a few really nice fish while my rod was tucked under my armpit while on the phone with office. Dead sticking works. Unfortunately I'd need a shot of Thorazine to do it on a regular basis. I do have a buddy that anytime he's tying on a new lure will toss out a Senko and sit on the rod handle while he's busy. Unfortunately I have seen this pay off on more than a few occasions for him. Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted July 10, 2017 Super User Posted July 10, 2017 It's one of the best ways to dupe BIG bass. Quote
Brown Town Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 On 6/8/2017 at 9:58 PM, geo g said: Its really not dead sticking, because as you pick at the line and the rod wiggles on your lap, that bait is moving. It might be slight movement but as you pick and pull that thing is wiggling! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree with this 100% as you're reeling in the slack pinched between your fingers that rod tip shaking is adding subtle action to your bait that just triggers bites when you least expect it. Quote
