    Chirping birds, the scream of the drag on your reel, and the splash of a smallmouth breaking water. The best sounds of summer.

    I've watched your videos and I have to say, fish will bite on almost anything. I've read books on different types of fishing, but if you don't have a line in the water, you're not catching anything. I do appreciate your videos and I watch them and know you can catch anything with a crazy lure. I've been catching trout with a bass spinner in trout water and it's amazing. Just get out there and have fun. Throw what you've got and see what you'll catch. Sometimes you'll be surprised with what hits that line.

    What a great Vid. Bought a few of these about a month ago. Been catching some big, large mouth on the black 4.5. Keep the 🔥 Vids coming. 👊🏻
