Pretty cool...

Wonder why Fothergill didn't mention the jerkbait? Anywho...yeah, my 'lol' regarding his lack of a search bait was because I knew he was scoping.

I've always thought they add in a sponsor bait or 2, but the top 5 or so have a camera on them constantly and you can usually see what they are throwing. Fothergill had the right technique, but I'm not sure how important that particular worm was.

I know, right? I guess if you know where a bass is, jiggling a neko worm in his face is a great idea.

I notice the winner didn't need a search bait at all, lol. https://www.bassmaster.com/bassmaster-classic/slideshow/top-lures-of-the-2025-classic/

Solid order 🕴️

A great listen!

That's how I like'em generally. I don't know why LC wants $18.99 retail for a 1.5 with the Deep Rattle Sound vs $7.99 for the silent version 🤷‍♂️.

I went to the classic expo last year, but had no interest in the weigh-in show that has a mortality rate of 30% or worse IMO.

I definitely have 2-3 lifetimes worth of squarebills. You will have an epic day or two on another bait that will trigger the Silverback 'monkey'. On topic- if you haven't tried the LC KJ flat 1.5...it is dynamite. You can get 2 on the auction site for the price of one @ msrp.

When I discovered how easy it was to catch bass on a shallow squarebill...I wanted every one ever made.

We stare at computer screens all day...at work...at home...and now at the lake. It's a must to win a bsss tournament now. Sigh...

I bought some ned bombs at christmas just for trailers 👍

4" Slider worm with a 1/8oz weedless slider head.

Minimal. Shattered my wrist last year and was sidelined most of the season. I played with it some in a nearby pond. Reel seat is roomy/comfy and power to weight is phenomenal.

I watched a couple videos of Fothergill catching hogs on his spinning rod. Couldn't see the bait, but google AI said it was a 3/16oz bitsy bug w/ rage menace.

All the MAGNUM brand baits are poured. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/search-tackle.html?start=0&count=20&searchtext=Magnum+baits

The Japanese anglers wouldn't be surprised...they love pink.

I have the JDM model as well. No way I'd pay the local price.

Agreed. I like the 4a...very similar to a bandit 200.

Spinning rod for sure.

I ignored them as well...until I saw the rattlin' ned worms on sale. They work...

Yep. As a kid, It was exciting when I had to fill out the BPS order form and mail it in. Had to use my parents CC or get a money order. $50 was a sizable order!

I'm about to find out!
