From a BassBlaster reader: I like the fact that MegaStrike is a sponsor. I won a tube on the Texas Fishing Forum one time and now I swear by it! It's great stuff.
Tip of the Day
> “If I catch a bass that’s only hooked with the back treble, that tells me that I need to change something,” Palaniuk said. “It usually means I need to change my cadence or color."
> "You may have to go from a Shad Rap to an Arashi Flat or from an Arashi Flat to a Wiggle Wart – you have to constantly experiment. If the bass is hooked by the front treble, I don’t change a thing."
> “Bass are extremely competitive feeders, so you’re definitely going to get more aggressive strikes in the winter when there are more than one fish around,” Palaniuk said. “When they slowly load up and act sluggish, that’s a sign that the bass isn’t competing with anything else."
> "Most coldwater cranking bites are sluggish, so just one aggressive bite can give you a lot of clues.”
