Cat turd

Or partially smoked cigar.

Carp poop or baby gar, both the same.

It's a salty snack, that works especially well on female bass during that time of the spawn.

^ This. This is what I was looking for. And now that I've seen it it cannot be unseen. Freshwater leeches, the stuff of nightmares.

Well, dang.

A pen.

leeches makes sense. Didn't think of that...

A Senko is to a bass, what a chicken nugget is to a kid.

Wow that video was really cool! Senkos usually have that subtle wiggle along the whole body just like that eel shaking.

imitates anything you want it to. i use speed vibe craws to imitate bluegill most of the times. it all about the action. sometimmes they will bite a compact tight fast action, sometimes they prefer a slow wobble or a dead stick. i really dont want to give them the time to swim up and analyze, "well, it really doesnt look like a frog or a craw etc." its about the reaction.

What does a spinnerbait imitate? Check enough boxes in regards to movement, fall rate, flash, feel, smell, etc... and a bass decides it's good enough to probably be food.

To Yamamoto it imitates and becomes money. And lots of it.

Same thing a buzz bait imitates. Only different.
