How-To

It’s all in the jig

When I think of smallmouth bass lures, I always start with the jig. It's all there, really. Everything you need to catch a brown bass can be found in that hunk of lead, strands of hair, rubber or silicone and a hook.

Are you smarter than a bass?

We all are at least until we outsmart ourselves in our effort to catch them. That's when bass seem smartest of all.

How-To
