Today’s Top 3

1. 39 @ 62 = Stout!

Number of championships Larry Nixon has made as of this year – 14 Forrest Wood Cups, 25 Classics – the latest being a Cup qualification…at the young age of 62. Stout!

(Used to love Ray Scott saying, “From Bee Branch, Arkansas….”)

2. Ko-inkydink or Loomis envy?

Here’s the logo for Edge rods started by Gary Loomis, who started G. Loomis. See a rendition of the G. Loomis Fear No Fish logo anywhere??

What up with that? (Rods reviewed on TackleTour. Getcha slide rule out!)

3. Sebile Action First baits…already dead??

This remind anyone of cartoons where an X in the eyeballs mean it’s dead?

Wonder if’n the basses’ll see it thataway….

Btw that’s from a slideshow of new fishin’ products – couple more that caught my eye below. And yep, I’m at ICAST, stayed tuned….

We sure bass can’t read??

Interesting Strike King chatter-style bait:

More ICAST Stuff

1. Peek at the Loomis NRX U-rig rod.

The new NRX916C UBR umbrella rig casting rod – a 7′ 7″ extra-heavy power model – features a “tip soft enough to load, yet stiff enough so it doesn’t overflex and create issues with the line and reel,” Brinkerhoff said. “And because of NRX sensitivity, you’ll feel every change in the rig and how the baits are swimming.”  The rod is rated for 50- to 80-pound PowerPro braid.

2. Lookit this evil jig!

The new 1/2-oz Omega Derek Remitz Copper Craw. Shoulda called it the Evil Eye Jig.

3. Will Huminbird 360 be even better?

That’s the rumor at the end of this article…kinda hilarious because the article’s about the Raymarine Dragonfly!

Tip of the Day

Dean Rojas froggin’ tips.

Good article on Wired2Fish:

> “I always try to get the bait into small areas of thick cover. Normally I’ll cover a diameter of about 2 to 5 feet as opposed to large areas. It’s all about high-percentage areas when it comes to topwater frogs.”

> Rojas spends a lot of time looking for shallow, thick cover with deep water nearby – just a small, 1-2′ drop adjacent to the cover…. “When big bass are ready to feed, they’ll quickly move into the shallow water and they’re usually not too hard to catch.”

> If he’s targeting heavy cover and notices a big bass cruising on the edge of the cover, he never hesitates to throw a frog at them. “If you can see a bass roaming near heavy cover, they’ll definitely bite the frog.”

> “It’s important to cast about 10 feet ahead of cruisers. I’ll start with a more aggressive walking cadence to draw their attention and slow it down a bit once the bass starts approaching. You can watch their reaction to the bait and know if they’re going to eat it. If they start swimming toward the frog, they’ll eat it 9 times out of 10.”
