Hi Mike, Robert is partly right, they use the two on the console for mapping and navigation, and have one for Sonar. On the bow, if they are in shallow water, they tend to use the smaller unit mounted in the bow panel, then use the large screen versions on a RAM Mount for their deep water fishing, a...

Another new Rago creation. A 6" bait called the SKT Swimmer.

Size 2 Owner Stringer Trebles on the outside hooks with a size 4 in the middle to help avoid tangles. I've heard the new Mustad KVD Elite treble is sick, extra strong wire, eshort shank, supposedly allows upsizing of hooks without tangles; that's whet the marketing says. Seems to work on land in sam...

Bassmaster uses a mesh bag when they are doing their weigh-ins to reduce handling of the fish. The fish are placed in a bag that is perforated with thousands of holes to allow for water flow through in a live well. They are not "dry weighing" their fish, the fish have plenty of water flowi...

The rule of thumb is to stay behind the photographers.

The television cameramen will be closer than the photographers.

They are the guys with the long lenses taking pictures for BASS and other publications.

If you stay behind them, you'll be at a safe distance.

I like a 7'3" Powell 734 with 12 to 15 pound Fluorocarbon with a 3/0 Owner J Hook and 14 to 3/8 tungsten tear drop weight. The tungsten helps me feel the bottom better and the J Hook is perfect for 6" fat straight tail worms or creature and craw type baits. I've caught fish up to 8-13 in t...

DanO

A longer rod will allow you to flip from further away from cover, and will give you more leverage on hooksets for sure. But, it can also make you move the bait further away from your target during the retrieve for the same reasons. I use a Powell 765 for sparse cover, and 766 for heavier cover and h...
