I used to be a crankbait, spinnerbait, topwater person and was really good with them, then I started tournament fishing this year. I knew soft plastics would come into play, but previously hated fishing with them because I didn't know how and always thought of them as slow and boring. After the first tournament, which was purely a pitching and flipping contest, I learned how well they worked. I have been using texas rigged Biffle bugs ever since that May tournament and have never had more fun or caught more fish than I have this year.
