Weed guard ...by Dan

Never trim out a weed guard on a jig at the hook point, always
reduce strands at the jig head. The length of the strands insures
that the jig can be compacted in the Bass's mouth easier, improving
hook set and landing percentage |

Hooks ...by Mark

When using a buzz bait or spinner bait, I will add a trailer
hook to increase my hook-up percentage. This will help in catching
those fish that only "slap" at your bait. Try placing
your trailer hook upside down or add a treble hook. This tip
is only good if you're fishing in open water or very sparse
cover |
| Replacing
Line ...by Mark

When replace your old line, leave your spool half full. Tie
the new line to the old using a blood knot and fill your spool
up. This will save on buying more line |
| Different
look for the Buzzbait ...by Mark

|
If you want to give bass a different look while using a buzz
bait, try replacing the skirt with a tube or even a soft, plastic
minnow bait. This will give the buzz bait a more minnow-like
apperance and should give you a few more strikes. just remember
to hang on |
| Drop
Shot a Leech ...by Conley

When fishing is tough going to a smaller bait can finish off
a limit in no time. Drop shot rigs have become very popular over the
last few years. Fish around the posts on docks the drop shot
can be deadly to finish out a limit. I prefer a leech such as
the Bass Water Products Leaper Leech. Its small compact size
and soft tail make it an excellent choice |
