Bass will jump out of the water trying to throw the hook. Not all fish make this type of presentation, sure some do but most don' t. With bass you gotta outsmart them, you hafta win, when using lures.

Sure Bluegill are fun, and exciting. Ya gotta outsmart ' em also. but gee, toss in a cricket and they bite. all ya gotta outsmart ' em in is gettin ' em outa the roots they live under.

Yeah, catfish can pull on a line harder than anuthing else, pound for pound, and they taste better. But they don' t jump, and if they are there they' ll bite when they see the chicken liver.
