wdberkley Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 It works on some of the clear lakes up north, I've seen it in action. I'm anxious to give it a go this spring on the Rock......
bluebasser86 Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Great feedback and comments by everyone. Having watched all of the video's about this technique and the Realis Spinbait 80, I am going to order a few and give it a shot. Dave: You make a good point about the lures and techniques that have been introduced in the US after they originated and were developed in Japan. Has anyone seen these baits at any of your local tackle shops? I really would like to look at some of them and the colors before I order them. One of our local shops has them in every color, very good looking little baits. I bought one that I'm hoping to give a test run this Thursday if the weather cooperates.

fishingaddiction Posted February 8, 2014 Author Posted February 8, 2014 Good info bluebasser. Your a good ways from my neck of the woods. I will order from TW. Don't know when I will able to try them, maybe next weekend. Be sure to post your results when you try them. Born to Fish. Forced to Work.
bluebasser86 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Mondo? Must be planning La Cygne or Coffee...good luck. Still a huge drift between my boat and freedom. Yep, he did have every color but was sold out of several of them Friday. I'm hoping to try Coffey but with the 15-20mph winds from the west that they're forecasting I may be stuck with La Cygne. Regardless, I'll be going (as long as I can get my boat out of the driveway), and hopefully will have something worth posting.
abkeenan Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Here is a little more info on the spy baiting technique. Looks like I am caving even before there are any reports here saying they killed them on them. My wife will be so happy with me! http://www.wired2fish.com/the-effectiveness-of-spy-baiting/

My wife will be so happy with me! http://www.wired2fish.com/the-effectiveness-of-spy-baiting/ Don't think it will necessarily be a good option for the stickbait type fish, but more for the smoke grub days. We have all had the day where they would not touch the grub even when everything pointed to it.

Wayne SW/MO Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 In past years the guides have had success on suspended Kentucky's with heavy spoons. As far as I know the technique was lifting and dropping the spoon through the school. A good sonar was obviously mandatory. There were threads on it in the TR forum. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
dtrs5kprs Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 This was curiously timely. From the Bass Fishing Archives, a great place to lose three hours in an eye blink. http://bassfishingarchives.com/short-strikes/spy-baiting-hot-technique-for-the-1950s#comments Makes some sense. There is a lot of collecting and studying of old USA baits going on in Japan. Tweaking and sometimes improving.
