Well a Bass rod would be the first choice!! I love my Fox Estuary Bass for that sort of fishing.

As for technique, no idea what Henry does but I normally fish only an ounce or 2 of lead with the bigger baits. Any movement whatsoever, slight pull, gentle rockling type tap, could be the biggie so you have to treat every movement as such. My best bass (8lb 12oz) gave two very gentle taps (like a goby or something) and then a gentle pul, gave a couple of foot of line til it went tight, did the same again but then the pull was more positive so I struck into it.

The bigger bass are very shy and often very loathe to pick up a bait, then when they do, taking it in their mouth is even more frustrating.

Different story if using live baits of course...
