Re: An Unfortunate and Disappointing Happening.......Long

Rene, we are fine. We follow bass fishing very close and I know this was an exception. What was shocking was who it was. This is a man I have respected for several years. His attitude was, I had no right to be where I was. Our dream is to someday own a bass boat and I have dabbled with the idea of d...

An Unfortunate and Disappointing Happening.......Long

My wife and I were fortunate to spend a week at the recent FLW tournament on Lake Roosevelt. We camped on a spot overlooking the launch ramp and enjoyed watching all the goings on of such a tournament. We attended the registration meeting on a snowy day in Payson and also each weigh in, including th...

Probably a Dumb Question....

The answer is probably so obvious I am going to feel pretty stupid but......why do bass fishermen chase a bass all around the boat? Wouldn't a properly set drag accomplish the same thing. In fact, it would seem drag would tire the fish quicker because he is having to pull harder. Keep in mind I said...

You can use either as long as they meet the load requirement of your boat fully loaded. Bias due tend to hop more. Radial will be a much better ride.
