I find WRB's post very helpful he has that old school knowledge of bass fishing and fishing in general that is often overlooked these days. i have only a handful of people in my life that have been bass fishing for there whole life. Which when they speak on bass fishing i take in the information i believe is helpful or not and put it to use. if it doesn't work that particular day that's fine at least i know it and if i ever stumble upon a situation where i can try it again i will. I'm relevantly new to this kind of bass fishing as in learning more about baits and certain applications. since I've been 5 to about 15 i used a spinning rod with braid fishing using a few cranks, spinners, jitterbugs, hollow body frogs, and senkos. That was my arsenal, didn't need more. Know that I'm older and can afford some newer baits I'm learning every day. I found this site in high school but didn't join until 2012 so i lurked for 3 years reading the articles and posts writing things down etc. All im saying is we don;t need to get on peoples cases about lieing , take the info for what is , these days people are trying to make a quick buck on the newest lure or rig. but the real gold is the info from the guys with real old school knowledge like your grandpa, father, uncle or the man at your local tackle store who's been running it for 40 years, those are the people to learn from. i think Tom, Big O and many others on this site are on that list.
Also IMO I'm not saying to not question and only listen , go ahead and question it, but undermining someones years of experience on the water and dismissing it as false is just ignorant.
