| Spider
Jigs ...by Tim

| When
other competitors are using rubber skirted jig and pigs, I like
to show the bass something different by using a pumpkin spider
jig. I can go behind another competitor in used water and pick
up bass that were missed |
| Different
Shaped Tube Heads ...by Jeff
Chudzinski |
| All
anglers should carry different styles of tube heads for their
tube baits. Each style of tube head falls a little bit different
through the water column. On different days fish want your bait
to fall different ways, so always be prepared for any condition
you may face. Also, make sure you carry a wide variety of tube
head weights, this can also make a big difference in your fishing
day |
| Stay
Hooked Up ...by Brian
Ritchie |
| We
all have lost fish on hardbaits like crankbaits, jerkbaits and
topwaters. The fish seem to get leverage with these baits and
can throw them with ease, at times. I’ve found that by
adding a split ring between the hook and the already existing
ring reduces this leverage, thus putting more fish in the livewell |

Colors ...by Scott

Soft plastic baits are great baits and sometime color is everything.
Sometime something different can produce a great catch. What
I do is take a few baits in different colors and mix them in
a bag; just being together will force the colors to mix with
one another. You can really get creative and mix certain colors
to produce colors you cannot find in stores |
| Top
Water Tip ...by Scott
Johnson |
|
When fishing a top water rat or mouse try putting a rattle or
two inside. This will give it a lot more sound and a little
more weight for casting. You can even add split shot to it if
more weight is needed for longer casts |
