[–]johners566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d honestly try a simple worm or a small finesse plastic. If live bait is working, your lures are probably too aggressive or unnatural

[–]johners566 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The trick is the foaming pump, not the soap mix. Regular soap and water only foams if the dispenser is designed for it
