7. The Process of Catching a Bass

The process of catching bass when using "voluminous single Colorado spinnerbait" and some of the elements that stimulate the predatory instincts of bass will be explained.

Voluminous single Colorado spinnerbaits

A Series of Steps from Casting the Lure to Getting the Bass to Bite the Lure
(Suppose a bass is just below the surface of clear water, facing toward 3 o'clock)
  1. Cast the lure with a low trajectory so that it crosses the bass' line of sight.
  2. Just before the lure flies in a low trajectory and enters the bass's line of sight, use a thumb braking to rapidly decelerate the lure.
  3. Land the lure quietly on the surface at a point that is neither too close nor too far from the bass.
  4. After the lure lands on the water, retrieve it promptly and gargling in front of the bass.
  5. Adjust retrieve speed according to bass activity to get them to bite.
Next, I will explain the elements that stimulate the predatory instinct of bass and their details in the order of the steps above.




Several Elements that Stimulate the Predatory Instinct of the Bass are Continuous in a Short Time!

1. 
Bass that see the lure flying with a low trajectory and decelerating rapidly are strongly aware of dragonflies. 

The most important element that most strongly stimulates the predatory instinct of bass among several elements.



2. 
Reproduce the shaking of the water surface caused by the wind pressure of the 
wings of a dragonfly. 

Bass is also interested in the shake on the surface of the water caused by the wind pressure that occurs when a spinnerbait with a large amount of skirt is thrown low. Also, the greater the number of skirts, the greater the wind pressure, which is more likely to cause ripples on the surface of the water.



3. 
Ultimate soft presentation. 

A quiet landing sound that does not make the bass think it is a lure or a soft landing sound like a falling dragonfly.



4. 
The lure escapes in the direction opposite to the direction in which it flown in. 

For example, suppose an insect flies from the right side of a bass that is directly below the surface of the water. The insect crosses the front of the bass head and falls to the surface of the water. Insects that fall on the surface of the water scurry away in the opposite direction from where they flew. Bass that see it will have a stimulating predatory instinct. This kind of thing is automatically reproduced when using this method, but this effect can be obtained precisely because the lure that is flying in the first process is shown to the bass.



5. 
Gargling. 

The small Colorado blade create a small ripple, like the ripples of an insect falling on the surface of the water. It is more effective to create ripples the moment the lure passes in front of the bass. Also, the advantage of gargling is that the line is not attached to the surface of the water, making it difficult for the bass to notice the presence of the line.



6. 
Ripples caused by the blade blur an angler figure. 

An angler appearance becomes difficult to see, and even if the distance to the bass is shortened, it will be less likely to be wary.



7. 
Bass sees the tips of hundreds of skirts swaying subtly.
 
Hesitating to eat or not to eat, a bass chases the lure that passes in front of it, and as soon as it comes right behind the lure, the bass sees the tip of the skirt wriggling. If I use other lures for other fishing methods, even if a bass chases a lure, it often doesn't reach the bite. This method has a high bite rate for bass that have followed the lure. However, such a bass often bites only at the tip of the skirt, so a trailer hook is essential.



8. 
Apply a fish-attracting agent to a large number of skirts. 

I don't know how effective the fish-attracting agent is, but if it is effective, it may be compatible with this method. This is because it is considered that by applying a large amount of a fish attractant to the inside of the skirt, the aroma component can be retained, and a bass tracking from behind can directly recognize the aroma component.  

I suspect that having multiple of these elements in rapid succession in just a few seconds in front of the bass eyes will make a smart bass caution disappear and increase the bite rate.




Elements Other than the Above to Make It Easier to Catch Bass
  • Due to the buoyancy and volume of the skirt, the sinking speed is slow and can retrieve just below the surface of the water without sinking almost immediately after landing.
  • The flushing rhythm of spinnerbait blades and the flushing rhythm of dragonfly wings when hovering (flashing rhythm when flapping wings) are similar.
  • Hundreds of skirt tips sway subtly in front of the bass. If the number of skirts is 500, if I fold it back, I will be able to show the tip of 1000 skirts to the bass.
  • The blade rotates quickly and the lure swims slowly, giving a bass time to bite and can make it look like it's desperately running away.

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.
