Iv been waiting Bill Dance from the 80's my one guy that I've learned about bass fishing 🎣 my family growing up only fish for trout and me everything. Thank you for your knowledge.
I remember when rods had a pistol grip handle and you could change rods using the same handle you could even build your own rod. I had one that a walnut grip bad idea is would slip in your hand my Son has the handles now. GOD bless you! Keep on keepin on!
Thank You Bill for sharing your Experience & Tips. They are Always Appreciated. I've learned that the Longer Rods in Spinning & Casting are Much Better. You can stay farther away from the fish, which doesn't spook them. Also that you have more leverage in fighting a larger fish. My Success Rate has Drematically Increased. Shorter rods are a thing of the Past.
More importantly... find someone who can handle your rod like a pro, regardless of length. Mine may have some scars and a crooked eye, but man has it whooped up on some big-uns!! Also, it just feels perfect in my hand! Thanks Bill! Your advise has paid off in many ways, Your "worm fishing" vids have produced lots of "large mouths": throughout my life. No, I dont take pictures of them, only measurements.
So there’s no longer a short of it? I kayak fish small boats in small streams. Took a 7 foot rod once. Never again! Lucky I didn’t break it , very unmanageable in a boat 10 feet long and skinny water.
"I am confused"... damn that had me rolling. Exactly how I feel right now about shopping for a new rod. I am an experienced angler but I have not had the need to purchase a rod for a while now and the game has certainly changed. I require your help and with that line, you got me hooked. (Pun intended)
