Customize Your Jig
When it comes to jigs, rarely do I fish it right out of the package without some kind of fine tuning. I like a nice compact look to my jigs so I hook the trailer lengthwise threading the hook horizontally through the meat of the trailer instead of just poking it through the trailer.

The First Cast
We all know very well that our first cast into prime Bass structure is the most important. Stealth, accuracy, and a perfect execution are paramount. But a lot of Bass anglers miss the most important part of bait placement, and that is slack line!

Specialized Reels
Specialized reels, to me, are gold out on the water. And what is a specialized reel you ask? Well, a reel with special added tools such as flipping switches fit the category. These reels specialize in flipping, of course, with the added bonus of good quick reeling with high ratios.

Salted Baits
Are salted baits really what they say they are? Salted! Anyone can add salt to their bait bag and shake well before using, but is it in the plastic itself? Did the package say in or on the bait? more on salted baits

Purchasing Your First Bait Casting Reel
The most important thing to consider when purchasing your first bait casting reel is; if you don’t like it what do you do then?
