A lot of guys (most guys) like camo, but that's just their preference. I don't think anything you wear has an affect on the fish.

Bandit Rack-It, 200, Norman Fat Boy and DT6 are a few to get you started.

Yes

I fish #20 on spinning tackle and #40 on baitcasting gear, but you may prefer #30 and #50. One of the many attributes of Smackdown is "uniformity". Another is a VERY smooth finish. I think you will find that the "screech factor" approaches zero.

My favorite

#4

Certainly a great fish, but nothing close to a record. 100+ is the standard for a "Monster". BTW, I'm not in the hunt, but my PB is 48 lbs on the Mighty Mississippi literally in downtown Memphis. My best buddy, Speedy Madewell, landed 43 lbs while we were smallmouth fishing on Pickwick: MF spinning tackle and #4 Yo-Zuri Hybrid.

What? I'm think'in a cast or two if I'm catching fish. I have never fished any brand of soft plastic for a day.

Again, pick YOUR favorite colors and you will do just fine.

Welcome aboard! Tennessee River reservoirs for me, too.

#1 presentation for the last 3 years has been a Rage Blade with a Structure Bug. White on white.

Well, consider this: I quit fishing grubs when the Rage Tail Menace was introduced. I fish it T-rigged, weedless, ticking the bottom for the most part. This is the only artificial lure I have ever used that out-fished live bait (smallmouth on the Tennessee River). Just give them a try and see what you think.

For your brown try the GYCB Cinnamon. (Wow! It looks like Toxic and I were typing at the same time.)

I don't have a dog in this fight, but here is my prediction: Patriots 45 Rams 31

1:30 to be exact.

Short list: Topwater: Megabass PopMax or Chugbug, Lucky Craft Sammy Shallow: Norman Fat Boy, Bandit Rack-It and Bandit 200 Medium depth: DT6 Deeper: Siebert Cosmic Spinnerbait Soft Plastics: GYCB Senko and Fat Ika Rage Tail Menace, Lizard, Space Monkey, Hawg and Structure Bug BPS Tender Tube #71

Well, I don't know about "dynasties", but it sure is fun to be a fan of teams that are always in the hunt. My favorites are the Chiefs in the 60's and 70's, Royals during the George Brett era, Broncos for both John Elway and Peyton.

Great piece!
