FRUSTRATED!
Missed 100 BASS TODAY!
Mini 1/8 ounce short arm ball head spinnerbait with a single Colorado blade
Caught 10
I was hooking them by a teeny bit of skin on the side of the mouth
Wasn't using a trailer hook due to the small size of bait
Advice?

I bet some of those hookups was Bluegill. When I go to Dad's fishing and use the small sassy shad on an H & H spinner I catch several of them along with the Bass and get thumped on alot.

Well if I had 110 bites on that bait I wouldn't change much except for a trailer hook....

I was using a 7 foot medium action spinning rod with 30 pound moss green brand just slow rolling it in open water shallow. They bit pretty hard too!

Bigger bait bigger hook more hook ups, little fish will eat a 1/2 punch spinner

Try to give the bait a pause every so often or if you come buy a peice of cover. That will trigger a bite and give them a second to take the bait.
