Equipment Basics | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Matching the right rod and reel to the lure or fishing technique, and knowing what line type and size works best sounds complicated, but it's actually basic common sense and logic. If you match these tools properly you can cast faster and better and even the more experienced angler can be more comfortable fishing, more accurate casting and make your time on the water more enjoyable.
   We've all heard the terrible sound (woof) that means the line on the reel has turned into a bird's nest, a backlash or professional overrun."

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."

Unconventional Fishing in the Wind | Crappie Fishing | Texas Fishing Forum

Unconventional Fishing in the Wind | Crappie Fishing | Texas Fishing Forum: "Unconventional, as in not conventional or being out of the ordinary as opposed to conventional meaning in keeping with a rule of conduct or behavior. No, I'm not talking about the buggy whip again. Although, I've whipped quite a few 2+lb crappie into the boat over the last few years with a 5' rod. Yesterday's gusty winds had me break with my usual unconventional rod and reel and break out the heavy tackle. When I dropped the second anchor to hold the boat in place it made me question the reasoning behind the need to fish under those conditions. Was it really blowing 15-25mph? It must have been leaning towards the 25mph side most of the time."
