When to switch

Switch away from a blueback herring swimbait if fish are shallow and reacting better to speed, cover, or noise than to a baitfish profile. In that case, try a bladed jig, buzzbait, or a smaller finesse bait. Also switch if bass are ignoring larger profiles; a smaller swimbait or a more subtle glide can get more bites.
