1-2 Punch, Who Still Does This?

[Bankc]

I do this all of the time.  Typically, I'll use a wacky worm, Ned rig, or a shaky head as the second chance bait.  Usually I'll run the big, fast, and loud bait around an area with a bunch of casts.  Try to cover a lot of water.  It's just how I normally prefer to fish.  Then I'll pick out the best spots and just make a couple of quick casts with my follow up bait.  I'll do the same thing anytime I get a strike that I missed the hookset on.  I've got a spinning rod that I use almost exclusively for this type of thing.  

 

I don't really see it as a 1-2 punch combination, but more of a "one last try before giving up on this spot" type of thing.  I won't say it works well.  But it works better than not doing it.

This works when the bass are buried in the tops of weed mats on the surface.  I will run a buzz bait right alongside the mat to draw them out and then cast a pop-r out and bring it back alongside the mat.  Most of the time the bass will go after the pop-r as it is passing the mat.

this would suck if you only fished one rod   but your knots would be fast and good.

 

i have done something similar fishing next to a buddy on a bass boat.   i fling things behind his whopper plopper all the time.  mostly a lighty weighted t-rig.
