Yall seen where they take them cain poles and run a buzzbait atfached to the end of it and fan them across the top of the water bass fishin. Its intrestin to watch..i forget what its called. I always made it a habit throwin crank baits and other plugs to fan them around the boat before lifting and makin another cast. Ive picked up several fish like that that runn to the boat but wouldnt commit and that pause and change in presentatio creates an all new profile for the fish. I never thought to attach it to a stick and just do that...bout 10ft from the boat(or mostly kayakers do it) and just mash em.
