my favorite but not top secreate way to hook in to bass is to use wild crickets. the big fat black ones you find under a log.
use a number #6 hook so the cricket will float on top the water
use a five foot leader with no more than 6 pound test.
use a clear buble in front of the leader atatached to your main line.
cast this near lilly pads in the morning or evining or any time under the shade of a tree.
the fat cricket will help to keep the hook from snagging a pad if reeled out slowly. I have seen bass jump right out of the water to grab them fat crickets right out of the air. awsom site.
