Are both on the bed or just the one?

If your still having trouble getting bit try: A senko type bait with a just a hook and let it dead stick (sit motionless) on the bed until they pick it up. OR Learn how to rig a dropshot with either the same bait or a small creature bait and let it sit on the bed while giving little quivers as the bait hovers over the bed.

On both these techniques or any really in general like this for beds it is more important sometimes to get a color bait you can see more so than something exactly natural.

After the female is gone and the male is in defense mode there shouldn't be as much problem. A spinnerbait drug along likely spots would get bit but before then it can be slow and persistent.
