Exellent point George,
Unlike most, I do not try and match the hatch.... My theory is, that why the hell does a bass (blues dont count) want to eat a hunk of wood, that resembles a smorgass board that is alive with scent ... but on the otherhand, a bigger, more calorie rich offering trying to sneak slowly by, just might trigger the gluttony in a bass that most of us have witnessed, you know like, lets stop working for the meal and get the feeding over with kind of response.... throwing the biggest plug in my bag has made me smile more than one night when guys trying to match the sand eels or peanuts the bass were feeding on only aggrivated the calcium deposits in their shoulders....the opposite is true as well... I've scored on some tiny offerings when the bass were knocking adult pogies out of the water.....I call it the snack theory.
