I just bought a couple baby bass and bluegills. and added trebles on them

Just wondering if most of you are using them for bed fishing (most likely) or just casting over structure/ next to tulees etc...?

fill me in on some tips.

thanks in advance

Although many people might think of them as a bed bait,I have used them successfully in several different presentations. You can use them very effectively like a crank bait (I heard the older versions used to roll if you tried to burn them, but I have never had a problem at any speed with the ones I own)...I also rip them like a jerk bait...they can be slow rolled over vegation in deep water like a large spinner-bait...and I have fished them in 20+ feet of water much like I would a jig with a subtle lift and fall action. Try it in shallow clear water and you will be amazed at the action. When I fish them in and/or near dense cover I do not use a treble on the belly ring...otherwise I do. I have caught some nice fish pitching them into holes in thick cover. I use the same technique with Matt's BabyBass and I really like the way it spirals down.
I started fishing the bluegills extensively after post spawn (prior to that I was using them as a bed bait) last spring and since then I have caught hundreds of bass on them. Last July alone I caught 74 bass over four pounds on the bluegill baits. I started fishing the BabyBass late this summer and I have been very successful with those baits also.
I NEVER go on the water without each one tied on. There are days when they are the only baits I use.

Matt's Baby Bass is my favorite swimbait thank's to its catching my new PB, a 9lber:

I fish them(and his b/g's) two ways. I pitch it next to stumps in shallow(3-6') water and just reel it back rather fast. But, most of the time, I just cast it far out, count it down to where I think the Bass will see it and then just reel it in at a steady, moderate pace. That 9 lber came while reeling it in like that but I have caught others when pitching too.

When I first started throwing one, I had added a weedless treble(Mustad W3551) hook on its belly but I quit doing that as I didn't like the 'messy' profile it presented. Their dorsal hook is sharp and will penetrate well, usually in the roof of their mouth if they're big enough to engulf it:P
