During the spawn, I have caught alot of bass on a swim bait that looks just like a sunfish. Its got a hard plastic head and soft plastic body. Very realistic look and movement. I used it on a flippin stick and pitched it to bass on beads, sight fishing. It works fantastic. Pitch it just past the bed and let it fall close to the bed and then throw slack in the line so it goes nose down like a pearch stealing eggs and they would nail it hard.
I couldnt use live bait in tournaments, but I bet that would work great..... Cheaper too. Those swim baits are $25 each....
