Anyone ever fish with dead bait for bass? I know bass are predatory and like the kill, but just curious.

Something like this

I've seen a bass eat rabbit liver, anything can happen. But you'd prob be better off with more traditional offerings.

A lot of the guys here fish with those and shiners, they end up catching more pickerel than anything

If I were to fish bait for bass (which I wouldn't), it would be live bait, not that dead won't work. As a kid I fished minnows, shiners and chubs, clip a fin or bleed your bait and make it swim funny, a saltwater ploy when using live bait. It works.

When i first got into bass fishing i was reeling in a bobber/nightcrawler when the bass struck at it. The bass told me they wanted something moving. Being a trout fisherman for all of my life i felt really dumb that the fish had to tell me i was doing it wrong. I put on an inline spinner and caught many bass that night along with my son we had doubles after doubles. The rest is history... this taught me to read what the fish want and the mood there in. I'm not a fish whisper.
The fish are out there just waiting for you to throw the right lure along with the correct presentation so why are you still here?
Motivation is the key to success.....
Remember on a bad day just throw the lure you never tried yet.....

x2.

Every now and then I will use live bait for deep spotted bass and crappies with good success but I prefer soft plastics and other hard baits to catch bass.
