Crochet’s Summer Buzzin’ Tips
Do you tie on a 1/2-oz black buzzbait in the dead of summer, the daytime, and sizzle it back to the boat? Me neither, but Elite pro Cliff Crochet does.

How Well Do You Execute Your Frog?
Now that the first Elite Series back-to-back is done, we’ve been putting together the 1st- through 10th-place pattern info for BassGold.com and 6th-10th notes for Bassmaster.com.

I’m going with the former). This product is “formulated to prevent the separation [...]

But in case you don’t believe actual trained biologists, here’s something from a basser, in a recent article in the New Orleans paper:
