they do seem to get better with time seems to me, the more beat up they are the more fish they catch, the beat up ones catch better than the new ones

i prefer to pitch a jig

Congrats to Skeet, a great guy and awesome angler. He had a great year and is most deserving of this title.

1/2 Ounce Strike Premier Series Spinnerbait, white

im priming a fiberglass boat that im gonna paint , i was told to use filler primer. my question is will that fill in those tiny imperfection in the boat there arent many imperfections in it but i have noticed a few

www.smitybait.com, check this guy out , he makes some great custom wooden cranks. He mainly deals in muskie lure but does have a few bass lures that I have had alot of luck on

I have my best luck after a rain with a 1/2 ounce blue/black Strike King jig, pitching around stumps and laydowns.

salt is made into those lures, putting salt on the outside will not work, as already mentioned it will dissolve when it goes into the water

That is a pretty crazy looking lure. Not something I would probably ever use.

You can got to experiment with them and see what the fish wants as far as the retrieve goes, as mentioned earlier Id stay away from the cheapos, I use Strike King and Booyah. I also use some custom made ones that one of my sponsors build. Stay away from the $1 box at Wal-Mart

The Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, preferrably 1/2 ounce in either blue/chrome or black/chrome.

I dont think either one of them does a very good job with their tv coverage, but Id have to go with BASS.

1. Spinnerbait 2. Carolina Rig 3. Texas Rig 4. Rat-L-Trap 5. Crankbait 6. Jig 7. Buzzbait 8. Jig Of course exactly what spinnerbait, crankbait, etc , will all depend on the lake/river and situation. But I usually am rigged out with 8 rods.

I havent had any break off on me, not yet anyway. They have been a great lure for me, only one Ive had more sucess with is the lucky craft pointer.

I dont care too much for being in the back of the boat during a tournament aka "net boy". I seem to always have a bad tournament day when fishing out the back of the boat. Biggest conflict for me is I never get matched with someone who fishes my style, seems like either I get stuck with someone power fishing at a time we should be finessing or sometimes the other way around. I dunno, never works out for me.

Im in south mississippi and itll still be quite a while before it cools down enough but during the months of dec,jan, feb, it will be time to slow down. My best cold water bait is a spinnerbait. Slow rolling a 1/2 ounce white spinnerbait, the way to go for me usually.

Got 4 Sponsors , they are all product sponsors. Had a fifth that I really wasnt too impressed with their product so I recently dropped them. Havent got lucky enough to land a cash sponsor yet, still working on that one.

The club Im in just became part of the B.A.S.S. Federation. The main thing most people in our club was interested in was the insurance that BASS provides. They pay up a million dollars, they cover anything your regular boat insurance does not up to a million dollars. Just one of the positive things that BASS does. Plus they do alot for conservation and cast for kids. But no you dont have to have them to have a club but they're are alot of good things to be considered when deciding to join or not.

Stike King's 3 Blade in the 1/2 ounce size has been my most productive buzzbait.

Pro and cons, they both have them. 4 stroke engine is more fuel efficient and the overall wear on that engine will be less, you'll wear a 2 stroke out alot faster than a 4 stroke. I dont know the whole logic behind that just know it from experience and from other people I know thats had both. 2 stroke is gonna get there alot quicker, much faster than the 4 stroke.

im in south mississippi and no matter what time of the year im throwing a buzzbait in early mornings, sizes and colors kinda vary depending on the weather.

CRANKBAIT, RAT-L-TRAP, CAROLINA RIG.

I use the actual trailer hooks from a tackle shop or bass pro. I generally use them with spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, jigs and chatterbaits.
