Before people say anything about the fish being covered in dirt....this was my biggest bass ever (sad i know) and i didnt want it to get away. Back in the water in less that 40 seconds...next time i wont get too excited.
And now for a senko fact: Gary Yomamoto got the idea from.....
A ball point pen! Thats a fact....look it up if you dont believe me.
And now back to the topic....sorry for hijacking this

quite right, the combination of the length, width, plastic formula, (softness) and salt content, (ballast), make Gary's Senko still the best on the market. They are fragile though, and because of that don't last long, so you end up buying LOT'S of them. Good marketing strategy!! HEE HEE!!!

Hey Aquaholic,
That's what I thought for a long time, until that days observation and repeated observations there after. I agree with you to a point that big fish don't get big by being stupid. Fish are neither smart or stupid. They operate on a simple stimulus to reaction feedback loop. WE are the ones who attribute sentient thought values to their behavior. We are the ones who judge smart or stupid. That being said,..
Big fish don't get big by being stupid,... they get big by being stupid FEWER TIMES!!
Fortunately for all of us, Big fish can be made to react stupidly!! HEE HEE!!

PS back to the original question, What is your Back Up Bait?
my favorite backup baits are deadfall baits, like the Senko, 10" worm or the Clarke spoon. Baits with their own action at rest, (falling),..Usually matching at least the color and primary shape of the reaction bait being used. ( something I refined as I learned more about this technique well after the 10" worm incident). The basic application is if you get a bite, that is obviously the fish missing it, (and you subsequently missing as well!) Grab your Back Up and cast it as close to the impact zone as you can, and dead stick it! if he is still fired up enough he will bite. Key here is realizing that the longer the fish has no new or interesting stimulus the sooner self preservation will set in and he will wander away or refuse new stimulus. So learn to react with the Backup QUICKLY! All fish, (at least all the ones I have made victims of this technique) are susceptible to the Back Up Bait. It just depends on how fired up he is! Stripers because of how incredibly aggressive (stupid?) they can be made, are prime victims for this.

good read.. but am I missing something obvious here?
Why a back up bait on spare rod? Why not just cast the same missed bait to the same spot?
Seems like that'd be the fastest way to capitalize on this situation?
