The Pressure Of Being A Classic Champ |
|
It is obvious that winning a Bassmaster Classic brings a lot of publicity to an angler. Ask any past winner of a Classic and he will tell you the same thing, that winning a classic is life changing. Of course, a $300,000 winning purse is life-changing, but the money is not the only reason an angler’s life has changed after winning a Classic. The publicity that an angler gets after winning a Classic is what changes their life forever. There is a reason why many people call it “the Super Bowl of bass fishing”. It is because nobody will forget a Bassmaster Classic winner. As media platforms are more present now than they have ever been, it seems difficult for a recent Classic champ to not be distracted by interviews, phone calls, and sponsorship responsibilities. Let’s look at which Bassmaster Classic champs in the last 20 years have handled the pressure with great follow-up finishes. Read the full blog here.

5. Baits Not Being Talked About |
|
A highly effective blend of versatility, action, and an inviting profile, the Roboworm Sculpins will catch just about any species of predator in any waterway. Relying on a proven, sculpin-style body type, they appeal to an incredibly wide variety of fish to keep your rod more consistently bent. They start with a detailed head that sports molded eyes and gills before transitioning to a lifelike lateral line pattern that terminates with a lively quivering tail. In addition to the irresistible profile, the Sculpins also employ Roboworm’s Salt Release System that leeches flavorful salt in the water to expand your strike zone and implore the bass to hang on longer when they strike. Available in some of Roboworm’s most effective color patterns, the Roboworm Sculpins will help put a limit in the boat in even the most challenging conditions. Check out the full lineup here.
