A few summers ago, my wife and I did a lot of nightime bass fishing. One night we were both bumping junebug ole monsters off the bottom, and for some reason without the usual success. She got a 1/2ounce jig head out that I normally used for striper fishing, bit off about 1 1/2" of worm, and threaded it on the jighead. She took this and started swimming it. Within 2 casts, she hooked up with a nice bass, and ended up with 22 that night.
Of course I copied her after the first fish.
