Sometimes the splash will call the bass from under cover like matted weeds esp. with a top water floater but you have to be patient enough to give the fish time to find it & more time to decide to eat it...........alot of fisherman will "dead-stick" a worm but no other bait. Most of the time they've be "bombed" so many times they gone before the bait is totally wet. LOL. Vern
