waskeyc,
We have done OK in the spring (BG spawn?) time using a grand-kid to catch the "attractor" and self using an Embellished Lefty's Deceiver (found in FOTW archives) to pester the bass. Hard strips of the bug are needed to make the plastic "under-collar" create the "pulse" needed to excite the lateral line of the bass........maybe?
