FishermanTim,

I'm right there with you. Although, I have only been using eel and white - probably going to switch to black/red and white for the fall run. I have had the same experience as you when it comes to the way the bass pickup feels. When in the water column, it's usually a really light pickup. I think it's a similar pick up when I jig though. Most of the strikes when I jig come on the drop or when I let the sluggo tumble on bottom a little. After the pick up when I go to jig, I think that's when the fish feels the pressure then says eff you and blasts off.

What size(s) are you using? I've found 9" to work well for me, but gonna experiment with the 12" for cows on the fall run.
