Awful weekend to have a tournament on Saratoga. The town is going to be really crowded with the Travers race (the biggest race of the year) that Saturday. Good Luck!

Lake Fork Live Magic Shad
These are one of my favorite soft plastic swimbaits. I also bought them first pre-rigged and had lots of success with them and have bought them unrigged ever since. Rigging them on a sworming hornet is deadly. I would highly recommend these baits.

Helpful Articles and Books
What are some of the most helpful/interesting articles or books that you have read on bass fishing? I recently found a very old article from Rick Clunn about seasonal patterns and it was very helpful and I'm hoping everyone can share an article or book that has helped them at one point or another.

Chartreuse Spinnerbait with Chartreuse Blades?
I was looking at some of the Strike King spinnerbaits but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I did think the Nichols Pulsator spinnerbait with the Chartreuse blades looked pretty good. Any other suggestions?

Storm Wild Eye Swim Shad
I've had luck with a slow steady retrieve and I have jigged them along the bottom, imitating a dying bait fish. Both techniques have caught a lot of fish for me. I really like this bait and believe it is very under-rated.

Favorite Chatterbait Brand?
Not a fan of Z-Man. I have had very bad luck with broken chatterbaits from Z-Man. I bought a bunch of Karu Vibrashocks and have NEVER had a problem and have caught tons of fish on them. Highly recommend them!

Bass Pro Shops Tourney Special Baitcast Rod and Reel Combos
Anybody use this rod and reel combo? I will be getting into some tournament bass fishing this upcoming season and I am looking for an affordable baitcaster and was wondering if this rod and reel was sufficient? If not, other affordable recommendations? This rod and reel got great reviews on the Bass Pro website and this is the reason I was leaning towards it. Any opinions would be appreciated.

What line to use?
I recently purchased a Wright and McGill Skeet Reese Worm/Spinnerbait Rod and a Bass Pro Shops Pro Qualifier reel.

I am looking for recommendations on type of line, size, and brand. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
