Its too early to say! I haven't had a chance to fish baby bass baits as much as I'd like to. I sure did some damage on baby bass colored MS Slammer back in the day on Otay. The big Otay bass used to chase and follow the 1 pounders we caught on worms....which we later connected the dots to throwing baby bass swimbaits and did pretty well.

I like baby bass personally, and think its a solid color, especially when you don't have a 'big' alternative color of bait to throw. Okeechobee has an abundance of 8" baby bass.....and you don't see many golden shiners in the grass.....so, I was just thinking about baby bass colors as an option because its a more readily available food source. I need a bait that draws out the 6-9 pounders and I totally believe an 8" baby bass would get munched (are they that spiny? not really) no problem. I have little bass cough up fry all the time. Cannibalism seems pretty natural to me about bass behavior. Good subject for a fisheries person to experiment and study actually.

Bluegill, I've yet to do much damage either on that one, but aren't there a bunch of guys on the black dog shellcracker bait and bite? I mean, brim beds are a huge deal in the South late Spring. The bass literally are found around brim beds and the brim can be found around the willow fly (may fly) hatches that happen in the trees overhanging the lake....

I just haven't had a chance to commit to either in the South yet, so I'm more in the 'wait and see' mindframe than to say one way or another.
