Hi Folks,

 

I have been playing with aggression strikes due to large bass being territorial.

 

I've not gotten to do it so much as I'd have liked thus far because I'm still repairing the boat and am stuck on the bank.

 

The lures at this point are large Money Minnows that are colored more like small bass.  I've gotten some pretty heavy hits but nothing has taken the hook yet.

 

The presentation is of a smaller bass cruising into territory of a larger bass.

 

Does anyone have thoughts on this? 

 

Regards,

 

Josh

It's possible the strikes you're getting are territorial strikes where they're just ramming the bait to try to move it along. Hollow belly swimbaits are also notoriously hard to get a good hookset with, so that could be your issue as well.
