Ever find yourself

[Siebert Outdoors]

changing lures even though the one you are throwing is catching fish.  I find myself doing this alot.  I will catch a few fish on a jig and get tired of catching fish off of a jig and see if something else works.  Or do you guys just stick with one bait that is working and never try anything else.  Reason I ask is sometimes a crank will produce a ton of dinks and switching to a spinnerbait will produce bigger fish. (just an example).

I generally stick to whatever is catching fish for me. If I am catching nothing but dinks on a lure I will stick to that same lure or presentation, but just a larger size of it. My best example is, one day I was using a baby bomber firetiger crank and was catching 1 pounders left and right. I got tired of the dinks and whipped out my Rapala DT-6 and almost immediately started catching larger fish...1.5lbs to 2.5lbs range.

I do that a lot, for several reasons. For example, if i am cleanin'em up on spinnerbait I might switch to a jig to pick up a few extra, and maybe bigger fish. Because fish get conditioned to certain lures so you cant just keep chuckin and chuckin the same bait, you gotta show em somethin a little different. Also if a 5 inch senko is producing a lot of keeper size fish then i might switch to a 7 inch senko to upgrade my catch.

yea ill do that pretty frequently when I know I can catch em on a worm Ill go to a plug or if Im catching them with a diver I may go a little shallow and try a top water its fun I have seen more than a few times that there is more than one pattern goin on at a time on a given body of water. It also seems to hold true( I havent checked the logs close enough yet) that one pattern will produce simialr size bass than another , This remains to be proven for me
