Default Re: A few bass but a lot more short strikes

its always a tough one . depends on the situation. if im understanding it your missing fish on a chatterbait? if so thenn a trailer hook would be an option. got three the other night all on the trailer hook. its typical for short strike in summer more often than not.

now , heres were "it depends" comes into play- if ya see the fish following it sometimes ya may need to speed it up or sometimes slow it down. ya gotta read his body language. again if ya can see it. im not sure if your seeing these fish or not.

the guy above makes a good point, they may be smaller fish. if its a bunch of taps in a row could be sunnies. play it safe , throw on some mega strike, hog tonic or other scent. cant hurt. if there river smallies or something maybe downsize. this time of year there is more smaller bait in the water too

its a lot of situational circumstances that come into play. hope this helps and I hope im understanding it right.
