Are large bass opportunists, i.e. if they see a baitfish struggling will they eat it and will they go further for a larger one?
Studies have been done on trout feeding off the drift that show the distance they will move is related to the size of the feed, they might just swing up 6" for a lottle nymph but they will go several feet for a grasshopper.
I think as long as it looks alive and edible they will eat it. How big can a plug be?
