5. Baits Not Being Talked About |
|
The Hula Grub was a long time staple soft plastic that is now mostly forgotten. A few anglers still use versions of it with great success. The Big Bite Baits Double Tail Skirted Grub offers a bigger profile and additional action over your standard double tail grubs. Rig it on a weedless jighead or Texas-rig, and drag it or pitch it to shallow cover, it is also a great choice on a heavy football jig and fished deep. Available in several killer colors, the Big Bite Bait Double Tail Skirted Grub is extremely versatile. Check them out here.

Dollars On Deck
How much money is on the bow of a tour pro’s boat?
|
|
MLF Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit angler Miles Burghoff will be running Lowrance, Humminbird, and Garmin units on the front deck of his Nitro Z21. This will mark the third season that Burghoff will have all three major electronics brands on the bow of his boat.
“I don’t believe technology is a necessity in terms of simply getting out on the water and enjoying the sport of bass fishing. However, when it comes to being a competitive angler, you want to make sure you stack the odds in your favor, which is why you are seeing more and more anglers invest in multi-brand electronics systems,” he explained.

“Through my partnership with BassBoatElectronics.com, we have been able to design what we consider the ‘Ultimate Bass Boat Electronics System’ which includes three different brands at the bow, the latest in 360 and forward looking sonar technology, as well as the latest MotorGuide Tour Pro.”
