Out of desperation using worms on tip ups I learned how to jig with my flasher and it’s fun!
That's the way! Set some tip-ups for bass & jig the last hole.
Trying to find out how to target the big bass.
Big shiners near weed lines
I have started to hate my jawjacker and snapper loose so many fish can never get to them in time dont know if I am using then wrong but would much rather use a tip up.
If they don't really have the shiner in their mouth yet, you'll pull the hook....or if you have the drag set too loose, the hookset will be weak....and you won't get them then either.
So, if you're missing fish....you can use the snapper as a rod holder (no bend in the rod) - drag set loose (or baitrunner style reel)....single hook....as little weight as you can get away with....and then when the drag starts singing....you run over & pick it up....tighten up drag + set the hook. This gives the fish a few more seconds to really get the shiner (like w/ a tip-up).
....or go back to tip-ups & jig the last hole.
