Jim Wright Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 The new In-Fisherman has an article in it on pause presentations with stick baits. It mentioned "spy baiting" in this article. I am unfamiliar with this technique, so I looked it up and found many articles pertaining to it. It is described as an "ultra-finesse" technique developed by bass anglers in Japan who fish highly pressured waters. Light line,long casts and a slow, slow, slow, retrieve are the mechanics. The bait being a weighted stick bait with small props. Highly effective in clear water. These are just 2 articles which can get you started... http://www.bassmaster.com/gear/strong-silent-type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Lutz Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I have one and admittedly have not used it much. Have to give another go. PS nice video, but for some reason I had no sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Wright Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I fished a bit at a small lake down state while visiting relatives. I used the fly rod. I noticed the action of the deceiver fly I used had a very similar action as the spybait in the video. Of course no spinners. I did have success, albeit they were all dinky largemouths with a couple pike to make things interesting. Mark, I don't know why the vid had no sound. ?? You could dial it up directly on YouTube.
