I always try one cast with a different retrieve speed but the same lure and the I change the size of that previous lure. Something interested the fish but not enough. Over here downsizing the lure is better than using a larger bait. But I can imagine for a muskie it's the opposite.
I had one pike charge my bait 4 times and it was hooked the fifth. That bait (a slider but 8cm long and with a very nice wiggle) looked so real it even charged it again after I released it. That fish was 91cm so go figure?!
I'm interested in this so great question! I'm curious what you guys think about this.
I hardly ever see that a pike prefers a differenbt color when you had a follow on a natural colored lure. I had one pike charge my supershadrap three times. Then I picked up my rod with the 6" cobb's shallowrunner crankbait in perch and bang! First hit was the right one. The first perch was a shining one (metallic perch but never sold), the second was jack cobb's naturel perch/white belly which had less flash. Was that the trigger? I mean, that fish charged my supershadrap three times but never wholeheartedly. Or was it a change in vibration, a wider swing of the crankbait that tracked a little to the side (my cobb's swims slightly to one side but I can't correct its track anymore. The lip is glued in out of center)?
I have tons of examples. Now lets hear yours! |
