Pro Tip #1: To learn how to fish a bait and gain confidence in it, you must devote time to it. If you are new to a bait, the only way to really gain confidence in it and know how to work it is to set aside a full day on the water and fish only that one bait. You force yourself to find the diversity in the bait and try and catch fish with it instead of just "chunking and winding". This is how I learned to fish a Jig and a Yamamoto DT Hula Grub and both now are some of my favorite baits. Good luck on the water and there will be more to come
