Some folks get a reaction from poison ivy. Others get a reaction from eggs or peanuts. All of those are bad reactions, usually itchy and unpleasant — certainly reactions you’d rather avoid.
As an angler, the best reactions come from big bass. That’s when bass aren’t actively feeding but still know a good thing when they see it. In a nutshell, a fast, instinctive bite is what a reaction strike is all about, and they’re not at all itchy.

During fall, Scalish manages to get satisfying, non-allergic reactions with suspending jerkbaits. They are his seasonal weapons of choice. However, Scalish knows that getting a reaction strike begins with understanding the conditions that induce them.
