Is there a relationship I am not aware of between really stupid looking chin hair, and catching bass? For instance, Gerald Swindle has about the silliest looking chin feathers I have ever seen, looks like he fell chin first into a pile of cow poop. That said, if it helps catch bass, I'll adapt, but I want to be really sure before I let myself look that silly.

yes it does help.  You have to rub your bait through the hair.  Just be careful not to hook yourself.

I'm sorry I poked fun at Swindle, but I was mesmerized by his chin on the repeat AOY broadcast. I don't know whether it was the TV lighting or what, but it was such an odd shape, and it was so black, it kinda looked like a plastic cap glued to his chin. I have never seen a cut like that. As a former "Zona" style chin/lip myself, it just took me off guard it was so striking. No offense to Gerald was intended. I know he's a great angler. Unfortunately, my wife finally put a price on conjugal visits...no more chin feathers. It was hard decision...chin feathers for bass...or chin feathers for...well, just leave off the "b"...hehehe.

Sounds like an old man wishing he was a lot younger to me.
