Curtis Smith from Seneca. SC 29672 asks...

I was watching one of your shows and you were using a small white bait, It looks like a ring worm with ahead and a fork tail. You caught a pig small mounth with a short tail. It was the same show with the new Tru-Tungsten shad. The bait you using was not on the show. I have looked everywhere and i can not find even close. Can you let me know the company or bait name.{'hello'}

Hi Curtis,

That was a Bass Pro Shops 3" Stick O' Worm (Senko) style bait rigged wacky style.

I know that polarized eyeware is a must but can't afford several pr.of high end sun glasses. Better to get one color of highend or several different colors of the $25. Also what colors of lenses are best{'hello'}

Hi Art,

I have been using Solar Bat glasses for a number of years now and have found that the Mossback Green lens excels in any condition and the best part is you can get them for around $65-70.

Hi Chris,

I have found that using a short (6'3") spinning rod that is Medium Power and Fast or Extra Fast action works best for getting an aggressive action in the baits. I fish it with 15 pound braid and a 4-6 foot leader (12 or 14 lb fluorocarbon)
