2. Ultimate Soft Presentation

When a Dragonfly Falls to the Surface of the Water, it does not Make a Loud Sound Like when a Lure Falls

Voluminous spinnerbaits

In bass fishing, there is a concept called "match the bait" that reproduces the shape, color, and movement of bait with lures. I think that includes reproducing the sound that creatures such as dragonflies make when they fall on the surface of the water. In the headline, I wrote, "When dragonflies hit the water, they don't make a loud sound." What an angler should do is either muffle the sound of the lure landing as much as possible or produce a soft landing sound of quality of a dragonfly's wings striking the surface of the water.



It Allows for a Quiet Water Landing

Spinnerbaits, Buzzbaits, Chatterbaits, Rubber jigs, and Swim jigs, all of these baits can be made to land silently by increasing skirt volume. But, spinnerbaits and buzzbaits are suitable for this method of fishing, considering ease of attracting fish after landing on the water.

The size and weight of the spinnerbait's blades also affect the sound of the water landing. If fish you are targeting are wary and smart, I recommend a small No.2, No.3, or No.3.5 Colorado blade, focusing on muffling the sound of the spinnerbait landing. At the size and weight of a No.4 Colorado blade, the sound of the blade hitting the surface of the water is a concern.


Willow leaf blade size comparison

As this willow leaf blade gets bigger and heavier, it hits the water surface harder. 
To make your lure land as quietly as possible, you’ll need to choose smaller blades. However, a large, light plastic blade may not hit the water surface as hard. However, I have never used plastic blades that spin well.



Can Also Make a Good Sound

Method 1.
Cast the lure low and apply the brake so that the momentum is completely stopped by thumb braking. If you relax your arms just before landing on the water, the rod will pull in and the lure will weakly hit the surface of the water, making a good sound.


Method 2.
Cast the lure low and apply a thumb braking to slow down the lure.  Then, just before landing the lure, loosen the thumb braking and tap the lure weakly on the surface of the water to make a good sound.

The key to doing these things is to avoid casting the lure with a parabolic high trajectory. Doing so can create a sound like a soft creature landing on the water, which normal lures cannot produce.
I believe this is because the large amount of skirts, which are highly buoyant, act as a cushion and reduce sound and impact when landing on the water.




To Get the Best Performance Out of this Lure

No matter how many "lures that can land on the water quietly" used if cannot cast the lure at the appropriate trajectory or cannot adjust the speed by using a thumb braking, will not be able to use this lure to its full potential.

"Quietly landing lure on the surface" is also one of the important elements of this method. So, need to practice diligently, using tackle set up in a way that makes it easy to cast. Wouldn't you like to catch a smart bass you can see a few meters away in clear water without using plastic worms? 
Oh yes, I forgot to mention, this is not bed fishing.

14. When Fish are Present in a Little Deep

Image
I will write about the difference between bass that are just below the water's surface and bass that are in a little deep water. Example of the Reaction of Bass in a Little Deep Water For example, suppose a bass at a depth of 80 cm is facing 6 o'clock. 1. Throw the voluminous lure with an ultra-low trajectory so that it passes from directly in front of the bass to behind it. 2. When the trajectory of the lure passes over the bass head, the bass body twitches. 3. The bass body moves and at the same time, it rises a little. 4. Repeat step 1 and the bass will float just below the water surface. 5. By the time the bass rises to just below the water surface, their activity has already increased, so as long as don't miss a cast, the bass will bite. This is an example of when succeeded in getting the fish to bite, but the bass activity was not very high.  If the bass are highly active in this situation, they may suddenly rise to just below the water surface and bite the lure with

6. How to Make a Voluminous Spinnerbait

Image
Voluminous Single Colorado Spinnerbait The number of skirts of the spinnerbaits in the picture is 460, 360, 260, 220, and 160 from the left. Weight from left to right: 36g, 32g, 21.1g, 19.3g, and 22g.  This does not mean that these are finished products that are easy for everyone to cast.  I'm still trying to do it myself. The ease of casting varies from person to person, so please use it as a reference only. Try different amounts of skirts to suit your tackle and casting skills to find one that you feel comfortable with. I think it's a good idea to start by making a few at random and comparing the ease of casting.  Points to Note when doing this Tuning Most spinnerbaits on the market stabilize their posture immediately after landing on the water, but lures with many skirts may not stabilize their posture. The following is a countermeasure. Add a Sinker By adding a split shot sinker to the hook shank to increase the weight, the lure's posture can be stabilized more quickly.

3. ASMR Effects with Lure Trajectory

Image
Lure Trajectory that Stimulates Predatory Instinct of Bass and Brings Comfort to Anglers "Low trajectory, smooth rapid deceleration, quiet water landing without bubbles" Following this series of events with eyes is very pleasant and makes me want to cast more. This is addictive, and I think the trajectory of that lure has an ASMR effect.  In particular, if use a flashy colored voluminous lure that does not overlap with the background color, it will be easier to see and control the trajectory, and as a result,  will be able to experience the effects of AMSR more easily.   Conversely, if the lure overlaps the background color or is subdued in color or  voluminousness , it becomes difficult for the eye to follow the lure's path. Also, ideal trajectory is not a parabola that drops down from a high point, but an  ultra-low trajectory that flies while maintaining slightly above the water surface.
