Logan Gets Organized
Bassmaster Elite Series pro Wes Logan recently shared a great hack when it comes to storing his Humminbird Lakemaster Charts.

Providing incredible sensitivity with its high-density construction, the Strike King Tungsten Thunder Cricket Vibrating Jigs are molded with a wire bait keeper to extend the life of your trailers and lock soft plastics firmly in place. Finished with powder coat paint jobs and realistic 3D eyes, the Strike King Tungsten Thunder Cricket Vibrating Jigs are hand-tied with premium silicone skirts and fitted with superior components to deliver long-lasting performance.
