Free rig
I have minimal experience with the free rig but settled on one bait so far, Keitech Crazy Flapper. Plenty more to learn.

I almost puked. :)
Next time eat a deviled egg sandwich first. That way if you do up chuck, it comes it easy.

Best rod to throw a 1/2 oz bladed jig on?
If it’s doubling as your top water stik, run good quality mono.

Good to go.

How do you feel about JDM baits ?
There are some hard baits by Megabass, OSP, Duo, Lucky Craft and Teckel that are standouts. I’ll pay the piper.

Cal Raleigh!
Well Cal did it. He broke the home run by a catcher in a single season record. Back to back home runs against the Athletics. It’s not been easy over the years to be a Mariner fan but this season has been great. Now for the Seahawks to pick up the slack.

Are the bass seeing what we think they're seeing?
Hey lure, stimulate a response for me. I’ll try but the fish might not respond to what I look like or how I move. Just do your best and I’ll figure the rest out.

Why an expensive rod?
Buying rods is a progression with some trial and error along the way. Over time your commitment will determine how discriminating you are when buying rods. What you demand in the performance of a rod may or may not be met because your budget will dictate if you meet that demand. At some stage being content in what you chose will end the progression. You will most likely be in your 70’s by then.

Need a GOOD spinnerbait
Don’t order any Dobyns product from the home website. Their shipping costs are really high. Order from TW or another outlet. If you are looking for a quality double willow that provides both flash and really high water displacement and runs on a flat plane, Sieberts Cosmic DW is excellent. All his baits are.

Do you think it really makes a difference what bladed jig trailer you use?
No craws. Minnows. No Coke. Pepsi.

Fishing critic
Fishing and hunting help me to connect to the universe and it’s ever reaching pulse of cosmic energy and this makes me more spiritual and in tune with nature. So I got that going for me.

How did you get into Bass fishing?
I was arrested when I was in high school for steelhead fishing without a fishing license. The judge was an avid trout fisherman and sentenced me to fish for trash fish for the rest of my life. I got off easy.

Square bills
Sure. The issue is how much of a water column do you have? You will want a bait that runs the optimal depth or a bait you can manipulate by stop and go retrieves to give the bait time to float up. Balsa is good for that. Ticking tops and ripping free can be productive. Some baits that shine are the SK Head Hunter, 6th Sense Munch or Curve 55 Finesse and the Man’s Baby 1 Minus. Have fun.

Why fluorocarbon?
Fish with good Floro for awhile and your perspective will probably change.

How do you keep tack of what you use?
People are wired differently. Baseball games run together but fishing and tackle stick in my head like Gorilla glue.
