5. Catch Bass by Casting Lures Like Dragonflies Fly?

The Shape of Lure does not have to Resemble a Dragonfly

Fluffy lures in the posted picture may not necessarily look like dragonflies to bass when they are flying in the air. But I continued to cast them, thinking of them as dragonflies. The reason is that they fly over water bodies more often and are spotted by bass more often than other flying creatures. 

Dragonflies sometimes fly low enough to reach when a bass jumps. I've actually seen them prey on spawning dragonflies, and I've also seen them chasing dragonflies flying low. From the above, I believe that bass recognizes flying dragonflies as predatory targets. 

So why is it not necessary to make the lure resemble the shape of a dragonfly? That's because, as we all know, bass is not only deceived by the shape of lure but also by movement of lure. And this method of fishing tricks bass with lure movement.

The movement of a lure in this case is a change in the trajectory speed of the lure due to thumb braking and rod control, as well as a change in the trajectory of a lure in flying. This can also be called "doing lure action in the air". Until now, lure action in the water and on the surface has been the norm, but I believe that the concept of “lure action in the air” has been added to the mix.

Also, when a lure with such a skirt volume is flying, if thumb braking and slows down, the skirt that has expanded due to air resistance will be squeezed by G-force. If bass can recognizes even this change in the shape of the flying lure, it can be said that it is a new lure action. 




I'm a baitcaster at heart.
Therefore, this method assumes the use of a baitcaster. More to the point, I have a strong preference for catching smart bass at close range with a one-handed forehand cast or backhand cast. For example, if I wanted to extend the lure's dwell time at close range more, I could do so by pitching or using a tenkara rod, but I don't do that.

I'm not a tournament angler, so I'm not too concerned about catching fish, and there is no pressure to catch fish. Even if I know that a simple technique is a shortcut, if I am not satisfied with it, I will not do it. I'm not alone in that, am I?

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.
