Hey all,

This one pond I fish at is all about sight fishing. I saw 4 lber chilling in the shallows and I was determined to catch him.

I threw a senko at first and he ignored it. I tried to get a reaction with a spinnerbait and fish swam off. And that was that. He was gone

What lures are almost certain to get a bite if it lands right in front of a bass?

Thanks

Welds

Well first off everyone will say if you saw the bass it saw you. That is probably true but there are time that aint a bad thing, I fish a marsh that's all visual, you can watch the bass track & hit you lure.

Second if it didn't hit a Senko you in trouble!

I've had luck this year with a weightless Bass Assassin Tapout worm

Yea its probably true that he saw me... but still.. what bass in their right mind can resist a senko???? 

You can get any number of recommendations as to what lure to use (my vote is a shakey head). Regardless, you need to dead stick it. Cast whatever past the fish, slowly move it within inches of the fish's nose and let it sit there. Wait two minutes and if the her nose is still facing your lure, continue waiting until she takes it. If she turns away, go golfing.

1. Smack her in the face with a swimjig (not crank or spinnerbait as she will spook)

2. Downsize and put something in front of her but not too close. Weightless trig or shakey head perhaps.

A small bait like a rage craw on a jig head of some sorts...

The pond I mostly fish is sight fishing as well. I have found even if the  fish has spotted me they cannot resist a roboworm rigged shakey head. I have been in situations were a senko has not got bitten and the shakey roboworm will.
