Today’s Top 5

Yo ICASTers, still have some open spots Wed and Thurs – IF you want to reach the most rabid bass-heads in the world. And since you’re reading this every day, why aren’t you reachin’ all the other folks who do – since the Blaster is one of the biggest daily reads in bass fishin’?? Hit me back fast if’n you’re interested!

1. $200 vs. $1,200

At the recent Jason Back Benefit tourney on Lake Fork, a signed KVD jersey (props to Kevin for sending it) sold for $200. Guess what sold for 6x that amount?

A Yeti cooler full of beer. After I heard that I double-checked and, yep, Fork is definitely NOT in WI….

Word is it was tough to get the cooler away from this dude:

2. A reel that does 90??

Sorta – 9.0:1 gear ratio!!! Which equals 37″ of line per turn of the reel handle. It’s the Revo Rocket. I’m thinkin’…strollin’?

Here it is:

Hahaha! Kidding – but that’s a real reel. Here’s the Rocket:


3. That’s on the new [bleep].

Booyah is crackin’ me up with these vids. Latest one on the new mystery rig is Jason Christie:

4. What’s a Kamooki SmartFish?

Crankbait, jig, dropbait? Either gonna be like a clock/radio/toaster, or cool.

5. TX: Fatal wreck on Fork.

Love to keep the Blaster light, but sometimes just can’t. This is a tough one: Two-boat crash, both operators killed, child in critical condition.

> “There was debris scattered all over the top of the water. Pieces of the boat, fiberglass, packages, just exactly of what you think about with a horrific impact.”

Tip of the Day

How to work for a sponsor.

> If you want to hear a good ol’ story about hard work, ask [Power-Pole owner] Shamblin about the company’s first years of sponsoring Chris Lane. This was long before Chris was a Bassmaster Classic champion, and before Power-Pole was a success in the bass fishing world.

> Short version: Chris never said no when Power-Pole asked him to make an appearance, no matter how small the venue, no matter how far away from home.
