>>1822017I can definitely say they do, as an experiment I put a juvenile LMB on a carolina rig, and a larger LMB ate it. additionally, one of the best performing soft plastic lures I use at my fishing hole is this h&h 4" paddle tail minnow. it's supposed to be a saltwater swimbait but the bass don't care. the color is supposed to be chartreuse/black, but it's a kind of greenish chartreuse, it resembles a juvenile bass fairly well and the larger bass demolish it in the summer time.
