will.s_fishing_ Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 I have lots of big follows when I'm throwing a medium size glidebait, and no matter what I do I cant get the fish to eat the bait. Any suggestions on what follow up baits to throw at the fish to get them to eat? Thanks! DrewManFishing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattGbaz Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 jerk bait works well for me. Also a senko or some sort of bait with a good rate of stall. will.s_fishing_ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbass Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Try to change up you retrieve, add stops, and pops jerks with the rod tip. If not follow up with soft swimbait in the 6 inch size. will.s_fishing_ and Jim137a 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon P Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 I mark the spot and come back later. I think immediately following up after the fish refused you the first time just makes the fish less likely to bite. Coming back a hour later and stitching a worm over every square inch of the fish's territory or coming back in low light and fishing a crawler or wake works well. When I was still super new to big bait fishing I'd try and force feed follower fish by irritating them into biting. Swimming a bait erratically in front of them dozens and dozens of times. If they didn't eat then they wouldn't so much as sniff at the same bait later on in the year. 253caster, Tony_x18, B_larkin3 and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony_x18 Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 I agree with @Jon P if its a good sized fish I'll give it some time to chill and come back later. If I do follow up immedialty its almost always with a shellcracker or whippersnapper Jon P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewManFishing Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 mike Gilbert has talked about this before and has perked for me in the past with a deps 250. If I’m getting multiple fish following my bait or a big one, I will change angles and slow roll an 8 inch hudd through those fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have caught quite a few bass by leaving a spot directly after a missed strike, and returning to catch the fish an hour later.

NicePizzaBass Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Whenever I notice I’m getting a lot of followers and no biters I’ll usually approach the spot at a completely different time and angle if possible. Don’t show them the bait too much. Jim137a 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNW EOD Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 I placed in a tournament by converting followers on the glide by deadsticking a fluke... If I don't have time to come back later, I pretty much always have a fluke or senko on deck to follow up. Seems to work for me if I just want to get bit!

Do you use a similar color to the glide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
