The Bass Grabber | Bassmaster

The Bass Grabber | Bassmaster: "That's some pretty gnarly stuff down there," Charlie Ingram said under his breath as he worked his jig-n-pig through the tangled branches of a submerged tree. He hopped the jig once when it reached open water, and instantly a fish sucked it in. The veteran Tennessee pro reacted with his trademark whip crack hook set, and his flipping stick bowed under the weight of a lunker bass. There was no swinging this fish into the boat —after it made several powerhouse runs, Ingram dropped to his knees, lipped it and hoisted it aboard. The big-bellied largemouth weighed a shade over 9 pounds."

How to fish spinnerbaits so you catch more Bass

How to fish spinnerbaits so you catch more Bass: "There is a lot of debate as to what is the best overall artificial bait. Much of the debate depends on the type of fish you're fishing, some is based on where you’re catching, some is based on weather conditions, and some is based on the cover you’re fishing. Most of the arguments that fishermen have are valid arguments for all the main baits, Crankbaits, jigs, spinnerbaits or plastic worms if your talking about fishing for bass only. With all the varied opinions, no one would disagree that the spinnerbait is one of the top lures, and overall I feel is the best for all types of fish."

Working Deep Cranks | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "If you are going to fish deeper water for bass, folks often will think of using a weighted soft plastic like a worm, lizard or jig. However the same major advantage that a crankbait has in working shallow-water bass applies to deeper water areas. This of course is the ability to cover greater areas of water in a given period of time. The speed of covering given types of cover, and depths allow you the critical advantage of working through variables which enable you to establish a reproducible pattern."
