That's really cool. Glad you had a idea who it belonged to and offered it back. Getting the lure was just a nice side effect. If that fisherman had it in his tacklebox he probably has caught fish on it and you should give it a chance with a few casts and see...

Thank you both tried it out today a bass literally jumped out of the water at it lol, but it was a foot behind it any tips on how to work those? I know the walk the dog thing but what about how fast and how slow.

what i like to do with spooks if they keep missing it is to cast it out and pop it a god 3 times and let it sit for about 10 seconds and then pop it a few times again. bass go crazy for that!

I agree, any time you have a short strike slow down your lure. Every lure is different to work, but you should try different retrieves to see what works that day. You had some good garma working, by giving back those pliers.

Bassman hit the nail on the head. If you do have a fish jump at it and miss while your walking the dog STOP for a second or two and then if he dont hit again just twitch your rod to get one zag out of it and let it sit for a second or 2 again. They almost always come back. A great time to throw one of those is at dusk. The bass really turn onto them around that time.
