bait change?

When fishing with cut bait or live bait how long does it take you or how often do you change bait / reel up and check ur bait.. or whatever if the bite is a lil slow..

i'll usually check about 20-30 minutes

I voted 1 hour.with cut bait i will check it after about an hour unless i move before then.And with live bait i'll leave it unless it takes a good hit then about 15 min or so after it gets hit i'll check it.

I usually check it to make sure its there after 45 min to an hour. If I see something has been hitting it, sometimes sooner. No point fishing with a bare hook.

With a Kat Bobber I dont check it till the perch stops swimming. sometimes it does stop swimming, but all I do is tug the line and most the time it starts back to swimming. Id say about 20 minutes on the bottom, unless I know for sure im on sand or mud. Good luck.

30 minutes

Pretty much I just leave it out unless I wanna use something different.

On the bottom I usually leave it out about 3-4 hours unless it gets hit before then. With a bobber I leave it about 1 hour then check it to try to keep live bait on it all the time.

I agree with this post.
