Neal Off To A Hot Start In 2021
Bass Pro Tour professional Michael Neal has logged three top 10 finishes (2nd, 4th, 3rd) thus far in 2021, and shows no signs of letting up anytime soon. At the recent Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit event on Lake Murray in South Carolina a day two adjustment catapulted Neal from a middle of the pack finish to his third top ten of the season. "I was sitting on about a 14lb bag around midday on day two at Lake Murray and knew I needed to make an adjustment to have the opportunity to move up in the standings," said Neal. Trusting his instincts Neal made the right adjustment and was able to turn his 14-0 limit into 18-1, then backing it up on days 3 and 4 with 18-11 and 20-2. "Having the confidence to make the call to bail on my safe patterns and move up the river on day two was the key to my success during the event. Fishing at this level is a lot about your decision making, as all of the anglers are extremely skilled. I feel like I am trusting my gut right now, and the moves I am making seem to be working out. I hope I can continue to keep the momentum rolling this week on Lake Travis for our BPT event." Neal concluded.
5. Baits Not Being Talked About
An innovative tool that helps your soft plastics come through heavy cover more easily, the Gambler Hollow Points are designed to be rigged in front of your weightless soft plastic baits. They screw into the head of your bait and provide a more streamlined profile, which helps greatly reduce snags.
The Hollow Points also extend the life of your soft plastics because they help keep your bait from slipping down the shank of the hook and tearing. Perfect for Texas-rigging or Carolina-rigging through brush and thick vegetation, they don’t add any extra weight either, so you can maintain a weightless presentation. A must-have for grass anglers, the Gambler Hollow Points will make you more efficient when fishing through heavy cover.

The Right Tools for the “Trade” (Vol 3)
We continue the series that talks about GREAT tools that you and every angler should give a try as we have tried them, and they are definitely “functional fresh”. This week we take a look at something that is very useful because it works with an application that’s heavily used in today’s bass fishing. 
Wacky Rig and Neko Rig  
In years past we all have come to know and love the conventional ol’ “O-Ring Tool”. Today meet the G7 Worm Tube Pliers (Length - 5") and the G7 Worm Protect Tubes 
G7 is a Japan based company that specializes in terminal tackle tools and rigging accessories. The G7 Rigging System has been gaining a lot of popularity amongst US finesse anglers who like to Wacky Rig or Neko Rig their soft plastics. All of G7's finesse rigging products are unique, but a product that stands out is their G7 Tungsten Screw Sinker Nail Weight. This weight will actually screw into your soft plastic baits and hold itself in place, helping to keep your weight in its original rigging position during casting or when fighting fish. This will allow you more time to fish and less time of re-rigging your bait. 
What I really like about this product is that it fills the gap when you are using a bait that’s not the typical size of the o-ring tool. So, you can have perfect fitting “tubes” on your baits no matter what the diameter is. That’s because the G7 Worm Protect Tubes come in tons of sizes and (4) four different colors. 
Developed for wacky rigging and neko style worms, the G7 Worm Protect Tubes are a new concept that extends the life of your soft plastic worms and are quick and easy to apply. G7 Worm Protect Tubes are made from durable silicone that stays in place and doesn’t slide up and down the worm like traditional O-rings. They are also wider and have more surface area in contact with the worm, which prevents your soft plastic worms from tearing as easily when fighting fish or going through cover.
