This adjustment in my presentation is something every angler should do day after day cast after cast and when you find a bite remember what you were doing to get that bite then repeat it. Pay attention to detail, focus on your action and be astutely aware of what and how you\u2019re retrieving your bait; if you don\u2019t you can\u2019t repeat it!<\/p>\n<p>Many of the world\u2019s best fisherman will talk about cadence as a key to catching fish on many different types of baits; there is no doubt that cadence is very important while retrieving a bait, but cadence does not mean to do the same thing every time you work a bait. Change your cadence continually with speed variations or pauses, or tip and wrist action; when you do this you\u2019re still creating a cadence it\u2019s just changing it until you find a cadence that the bass reacts too.<\/p>\n<p>It is also a fact that all rods present a variety of tip action, if you find that you cannot easily change the action of bait then you might very well be fishing with a rod that might be too stiff in the tip. The rod might be too long or short for your body type, making it hard to make longer swings or fast movements with your wrist. Line is also a factor in being able to change your cadence or retrieve action, as all lines are different some are thick, many are thin, some have stretch and some do not, many different lines sink many do not. These line differences also change your retrieve and cadence while working bait, so experiment with line it can also be a factor in catching fish as it can inhibit your ability to work bait. That old saying \u201cif you\u2019re doing the same thing and getting the same result,\u201d it might be time to change.<br \/>\n<em><strong>Captain Mike<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Retrieve can be Everything by Mike Gerry One thing that stands out to me is that the retrieve can be the biggest difference maker when you present your bait; it is everything to catching a fish and must be in the back of your mind every time you cast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fishing-tips"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.theclarion.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.theclarion.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.theclarion.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.theclarion.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.theclarion.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13399"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/test.theclarion.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13399\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13400,"href":"https:\/\/test.theclarion.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13399\/revisions\/13400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.theclarion.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.theclarion.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.theclarion.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
