Stuart, perhaps you are doing nothing wrong. Patience will often open doors that those in a hurry will miss. Give it time it will happen.

gee
ive been using the new 40ft+ AC 150mm invaders with little success. smae with my bassman spinnerbaits & mumblers. i mean, i saved up for a new rod & reel and set it up with a leader & braid but i cant even get a hit. im fishing the area well & keeping them close to the snags but no success. what am i doin wrong??

Patience is the key Dave, large lures often trigger a response when all else fails. It’s simply a matter of doing the time. Mind you I wouldn’t drag one around all week in the hopes of a single strike or two. But if you give them a regular run and you catch the biggens on, then it won’t take long.

Patience I suppose I always end up dropping to the larger spinnerbaits, rather than running the big lures for long .. again lack of patience. I should really give them a solid workout over the day, rather than just looking for ‘any old fish’.
Still, size does count, but even the smaller ones can give you a run for their money (Where have I said that before?)
I keep seeing you speak of the bigger lures over and over, you’d think it would sink in .. I have to stick with them till I get my fish of size.
