I was able to go back again this am. Had a few more big followers and I decided to speed things way up, figuring it would hopefully make them bite on instinct. It worked out for a 22incher I figure it went 5 or 6 lbs. When you come back with a soft bait, do you keep the same approach? I know you can't glide a soft bait (i think), but do you try to keep relatively the same tempo you were using with the glide bait, or do you slow it way down?

Fairly new to swim bait fishing. Really made a commitment to learning this fall. Lots of skunks at first and then whammo, my personal best at 8.5lbs on an S-Waver 200. Seeing the followers is a really cool, yet at the same time frustrating part of swim bait fishing when you can't trigger the "strike". What do you guys do when an absolute monster swims up to your glide bait, appears to kiss it, then swims away? Is there any chance of catching that fish with the same bait or style of bait? It seems it did a taste test and didn't approve... Do you immediately go to something else or let spot sit for a little while?
