I know what you mean. I have used my LS three times now and have learned a lot. Yesterday I had a tree absolutely loaded with crappie and out of at least 30 I only got 6 to bite solid enough to hook. I had several more that hit so light I never felt a thing until I lifted the bait and only then did I feel any resistance as I saw the mark spit the bait. For every fish that showed interest there were twice as many that would get nose to nose with the bait but never commit and there were even more that totally ignored the jig.
