15 Pounder at McClure

Ken Eddy brought in a 15 lb'r at the Fresno Bass Club Tourny on Sunday. Needless to say, his Fish-On jigs will sell better. Most people fought spotted look-alikes. Way to go Ken.

Re: Jerkbait vs Crankbait

Why not throw a crank out and work it like a jerkbait? Do the pause - jerk - pause? Why won't that be as effective? Especially in colder water where the wider body and bill would make it slower?

Isn't NADA just like Blue Book? Usually selling something, you check it out for what the dealers pay? Then see what they are going for above that?
