I was just getting a bit tired of catching bass with blades, senko, crank, etc.

I am just a glutton for punishment.
Back when I did a lot of fly fishing for bass I probably broke the bass bug off half the time because I'd try to set the hook as if it were a plastic worm and bing!, snapped leader. One of the reasons I stopped was because I was running out of bass bugs frequently and it was getting too expensive to replace them. I needed to learn a little finesse in setting the hook.
