Like Swimbait said patience pays off. You need to pick your spots and times when the big ole girls are going to key in on this type of bait. When I first started throwing these monster baits I was like there is now way a bass is gonna eat this, till that time when big mama says she wants it and almost tears the rod from your hands. Believe me, when you get that first blow up on your bait, it will make those thousands of casts well worth it.
