The Excitement Never Ends

The excitement of this industry and bass fishing never ends. I suppose I should say that I’d rather be at Lake Hartwell where the other guys will be fishing the 2022 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Huk. Instead I’m fishing the Kayak Series Championship, and I can’t say I’m totally disappointed about it. This is being written on Tuesday. Competition starts tomorrow. If I finish high enough, I’ll get to the Classic stage on Friday. I’m grateful for that opportunity. Kayak fishing is a part of our sport and I’m proud to be a part of it. […]

And the Classic part of things is something that we all should take note of if we love the sport of bass fishing. It was a wonderful tournament that was put together with everything a top-shelf professional level should have and need. So, here we go. . . They had massive amounts of rain in the […]

Crankbait Rods

We hear all the time about specialty rods, how they’re an important part of the sport because they help us fish more efficiently. That’s true, and some of the most important and useful are what are commonly called crankbait rods. The thing is, though, they really should be named treble hook rods or reaction bait rods because the design features they have will help you fish more efficiently with any bait that has a treble hook on it. I’m thinking about hard jerkbaits and topwater plugs as well as crankbaits. The basic, and most important, thing about one of these […]
