Everyone Loves Wacky Rigs

Most bass anglers love simple bass catching techniques and there aren’t many as popular as the wacky rigged worm.

Originally fished with 5″ to 8″ soft plastic worms, one of the most popular soft stick baits used in wacky rigs today are soft stick baits like the Yamamoto Senko or Yum Dinger…

Take a moment and listen to why FLW Touring Pro, David Dudley believes the wacky rigged soft stick baits is one of his most power bass catching tools…

Soft stickbaits are one of my favorite baits to fish from early spring through early winter and the wacky rig is used at least 1/2 of the time...

Chatterbaits & Trailers

A few years ago, Z-Man added a new member to the Z-Man line calling it the “Chatterbait Elite” with several upgrades over the original model…

In this video, bass pro David Walker talks about the features of this new bait, how to fish it and different trailers to enhance the presentation…

Enjoy!

Different Spinnerbait Blade Types

Many new bass anglers have trouble understanding spinnerbait blades and when to use the different types of blades.

Though there are several different types of spinnerbait blades available, most spinnerbaits are built using one of the three main blade types including the:

• Colorado blade (cold or dirty water where more vibration needed);
• Indiana blade (the “in-between” blade choice); or
• Willow Leaf blade (clear water, less vibration)…
