When you miss a hookset, it’s easy to get discouraged by a lost opportunity, but casting back to a missed fish with a strategic second lure can often give you that second (or even third) chance.

As Virtual Angling staff member McKeon Roberts points out, a weightless, wacky-rigged stick bait fished nearly effortlessly quickly replaces the bass’s own missed opportunity with a subtle, noninvasive offering they can’t refuse. Roberts fishes this presentation on a 7’1 medium power spinning rod with a size #1 weedless Neko hook to be fished in and around shallow weeds. As seen in the video, Roberts demonstrates the cast-back power of this tactic by catching a few bass who just had a whole swim jig in their mouth.
