Put it under a bobber and work it slower. The nibbles don't put off scent fast enough for a standard retrieve to really draw fish in. Or, rig some of your preferred ned rig baits, or drop shots. After you rig them, then drill a hole and insert your nibbles. Work them slow, give them time to "rest" after every time you retrieve a little and draw some fish in. Be aware though, you'll draw in a lot of little bites from bold panfish that might not be big enough to actually take enough of the bait to get hooked.
Agree. I have used them for years, was just thinking maybe the Swimbait option wasn’t the best for the idea. There is a lead head jig that is meant to do the same thing but I thought plastics would work, too.
@@grimtasticbaits Plastics will definitely work, it's just a matter of giving time for the scent to disperse. I sometimes stuff a few in a tube when I fish tubes and I have to remind myself to fish a bit slower. I would constantly yank it outside of the scent trail, and when you fish in clear water you can see the fish come up to where the bait was a few seconds earlier, confused that nothing is there and looking for it.
