[quote="The Squid":2nyeod5m]I have had big Bass on small plugs, and small Bass (8oz) on big plugs. had a 4lb Bass last year that all but swollowed a Duo Tide Minnow 175.
On the bait front all my big bass have come on small baits.
Yes mate,I to have had big fish on small baits '30lbs' and had small fish 'Jacks' on large stuff.
But all I am saying is that over a long period of years I have found that big baits and lures worked slowly have 'for me' and lots of predator anglers that I have known seem to filter out the bigger fish,especially when worked ultra slow.
As we all know big fish dont grow old and big by expending lots of energy.[/quote:2nyeod5m]
Hi Nick,
IMHO big Bass seem reluctant to chase medium to fast retrieved lures. However, they do seem to like grabbing slow moved lures (hard or soft) on or near the seabed.
On the bait side I have this unproven theory that big Bass really like to inhale small baits.
