[QUOTE="Mizzie, post: 276804, member: 3140"] An easy way to get results with an artificial bait is my trick for bass. Take a Powerbait 7" worm (I usually go with motor oil). I cut off about an inch and a half from the head end of it and put in a bright chartreuse colored/red hook'd jig head. Cast it where you want it and reel very slowly with occasional rod tip lifts. Not the traditional way to fish a jig but it always works for me. This setup is not weedless so be prepared to loose a couple of snagged rigs before you get the hang of bouncing it off logs and such. I started off fishing live baits as well, it's fun at first but it's almost like cheating.. I only use lures now, I don't even let friends bring shiners or live baits on my boat haha. :roll: Once you get the hang of lures and start catching fish on them, it's way more satisfying than catching with live baits! I'm not a professional and I'm still learning to fish certain lures correctly as well, it all takes time! Youtube has a lot of good instructional videos as well. Mike [/QUOTE]
