These poppers get bit. PERIOD!

Here are a few shots from Denise Esteppe, a member of the Get Hooked group and 3rd place winner from last years Supper Basshole Fishing Tournament for her region. These poppers went to Kevin Wilson who started the tournament over in the Northwest Bassholes facebook group. I painted these poppers specifically for a friend and team member TJ McAdams who was going to Florida to fish some ponds while golfing. I called them the Florida Gator. They seem to #gethooked everywhere they go. These along with many other patterns can be ordered in the Tackle Box section of my website site. Spring is right around the corner and the top water bite will be slamming soon. Don't be late to the top water bite with one of these bad boys!

How to Choose between Suspending and Floating Jerkbaits

There is quit a few different options when it comes to jerk baits. sizes, weights, bill shapes etc. So if you are an angler that’s is just getting into the sport it can become a little overwhelming. Well I’m here to help. Suspending is good for the 10to 15 foot range. Floating is good for shallow water that could have submerged vegetation or shallow rock beds. There are a couple things to take into consideration when your fishing Suspending and Floating jerk baits. The number one thing to remember

is your line! a line that sinks to fast will pull your jerkbait down and a line that floats or sinks slowly will mess up the action of your bait. 12 pound fluorocarbon is my go to for jerk baits it’s the best all around for both Suspending and Floating jerkbait.

High School team experience

Fishing on the High School team is a great experience. The biggest pro of fishing with a High School, is it allows you to get into the High School division of FLW or B.A.S.S. It also influences fishing with your friends, whether it be in prefishing time or the tournament itself. Also, it expands your view of the fishing industry. For example, some of the tournaments have cool experiences like meeting Mark Zona, or Reps. from Shimano that let you test new reels like DC’s and metaniums. I truly think that High School tournaments are a great experience for students and that others should look into it.
