How Bass See Color
I am not a scientist. I have fished for 40 years plus. I have used Trilene of all stripes , Stren of all stripes, Bass Pro Excel, Cablea's Pro LIne, Silver Thread, Ande fishing lines and others and all mono. I get more strikes and have caught more bass using Cajun Red fishing line. I have bought in. Ain't going back. Old school basser...

Creek Bass
I live in the Bayou City with bayous and creeks off those bayous. In truth, our creeks look like ditches many times. But don't let that fool you, the LMB lives and thrives in those slow moving waters in 90 plus degree weather. . The width of the creek is no more than 3 yards at times. Old school basser....

Opinions & Results Of The Mitchell 300 Reel.
I own the Mitchell 300 Gold with the wooden handles I bought from BPS on a year end sale years ago. No problems and has been involved with a few battles catching the LMB. It's faster than many of the present day high speed bait casters. Old school basser...

Line For Crankbaits?...
It's more than an opinion: it's smart fishing. It's also an excellent line for spinner baits 1/4 to 3/8. The brand of line you choose is a personal thing. Me, I like a line that has less memory and is soft. That's Cajun Red. Old school basser...

Plastic Worms
He's tops. Like his recommendation to use straight tail worms in waters with little cover. My fishing these days takes me to environs like that. Not by choice, just my present circumstances. Fish what you got. Love to use Crème and Zoom finesse worms. And, by no means, is it second rate bass fishing. The bass is highly adaptable and grow big and fun to catch in light cover waters, too. Good fishing...

Plastic Worms
When I was a little fella, my dad showed me how to fish a Texas-rigged worm in the Deep South on farm ponds. You were not a LMB fisherman if you did not know how to catch them on the venerable plastic worm. Old school basser...

What Reel Is It That You Are Looking To Pick Up During This Offseason?
This time of year I'm always looking for a deal. Cabela's had the Pflueger Summit bait caster marked down from 149.99 to 49..99 with no shipping charge. The reel model was discontinued with a new one coming out in its place. Bought a great Pflueger Supreme bait caster the same way over 10 years ago and its still by my side in my fishing excursions. Tried out the Summit this Saturday and caught four decent bass and loved the reel. Performed well on light line and small lures. Only 2 minor backlashes. Went back to Cabela's to get another one and it was sold out. Old school basser...

Do You Really Need Braid For Frogs?
I can remember getting my Bass Master magazine years ago with articles about how to catch bass with frogs. That was way before braid and only mono was used. Not my strongest suit, but I have caught some bass with frogs and only mono. Have used Snag Proof frogs with success but I really like the Superior Frog for more of an open water presentation in stumps and the like. Mono all the way for me... Old school basser...

Medium Action Casting Rod For Texas Rigs/hardheads
A good quality retailer like Cabela's offers great medium rods with plenty of backbone and sensitivity to give you plenty of hook setting and feel when you're on the water wormin'. I own Cabela's Fish Eagle rods. I like the six foot medium, fast action for my T-rig presentations with 10 or 12 lb test mono. Larry Nixon, a great worm basser, prefers the six foot rod.
