But I'm noticing now in Colorado that I'll get 2 or 3 "hits" each cast, but not hooking anything.

When I have caught things with the shads they are usually pretty big compared to the rest of the catches. I rarely catch anything with the shads, even when other lures are hitting at a high rate (yes.I'm checking the fish preferences first). I'm using a 1/4 oz Jig #2 with both a 1" shad and a 2" shad (nighttime). I'm starting to notice with the shad lures I use it's different, I'm getting lots of hits (controller vibrates) and sometimes I even see the tension bar fill 1 or 2 ticks. Nearly every time I use a lure it's hit or comes back with nothing or I'll get something hooked.


So I'm on day 2 of a Colorado trip after grinding out money on the lower levels lakes, and I've noticed something with the lures I use.
