One Lure Challenge – Bass Strikes the Rapala X-Rap on a Pause!
Twitch-and-Stop Retrieve 🎣 | Average Angler Life
One lure challenge with the Rapala X-Rap! In this session a bass struck as the lure was paused briefly during a twitch-and-stop retrieve.
Pauses can be incredibly effective. When a fish is following or deciding whether to commit, stopping the lure for a second or two often triggers the strike. Limiting yourself to one lure also forces better focus on presentation and timing.
Pauses can be deadly — always give the lure a moment to sit.
This short session was a good reminder that simple retrieves and patience still catch fish.
