Re: A few bass but a lot more short strikes
That's a great smallie.
You mentioned the worm was getting hits but no hook sets? Any chance smaller fish like sunnies were tugging it around or are you certain it were good sized fish that could have ate it? Smallies that arent big enough take a moment to eat it up too. I'd be careful with "waiting" for them to eat it however, that's how I gut hooked some fish, havent done it since ive been just reeling slowly as soon as I feel something then setting the hook when pressure is on.
I would downsize the lure if the latter, like pinch off some of the plastic that is too far from the hook. Downsizing the hook too is a good idea
