One squiggled a bit, and Jack grabbed it. Jack held the winner on its side with a thumb and forefinger, positioned so the little bugger couldn't nail him with a pincher, then hooked it right between the eyes with the No. 8 hook that was tied to fishing line. Jack uses no sinker, no leader. Just a small hook. When a big bass starts to chase it, the crawdad will swim off trying to escape.
Nothing gets a big bass more excited than what appears to be a good meal about to escape.
With his rod and reel in hand, Jack tossed the bait out toward the buoy then let the crawdad swim to the bottom. For bass fishing tackle. Neu believes in a rod and reel that is comfortable for the angler regardless of whether it is a spinning outfit or a revolving spool reel. For 20 minutes, knowing what to do was doing nothing. We waited and watched, staring at where our lines entered the lake.
