Information

The swimming action

Built around size, salt content and feel for fussy, well-fed bass that get a close look at the bait, this Like size relies on a subtle, realistic presentation rather than an aggressive built-in action. That kind of natural, believable movement gives line-shy bass on pressured water extra time to look the bait over and commit before it swims or falls past them.

When to throw it

Suited to clear, pressured water where bass have had a close look at plenty of soft plastics and respond better to a natural, slow-moving presentation. It also holds up across a full bass season, from pre-spawn staging areas through summer cover and into the cooling water of autumn, rather than suiting one narrow window.

How to work it

Handles no-sinker twitching, mid-strolling and downshot rigs; keep movement subtle and let pauses do the work rather than an active swimming retrieve. Vary the cadence and the length of the pause between casts until you find what is drawing bites that day, since bass response to speed can change through a session.

The setup it likes

A light to medium-light spinning rod, a 2500 reel, 6-8 lb fluorocarbon and a Superior M-II #8 or #10 hook suit the finesse presentations this bait is built for. Round the outfit off with a smooth drag and a rod tip soft enough to load up properly before the hookset drives home on a finesse presentation.
