Indiana Bass1 Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 As the title states, does anyone know what crankbait he was using? Quote
MrSwimJig Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 This is from the Bassmaster web site: His go-to lures were a War Eagle Spot Remover spinnerbait in a shad color, a Texas-rigged Zoom Z-Hog Jr., and various crankbaits. His flipping line was a Bass Pro Shops braid with a 20-pound fluorocarbon leader. Quote
Indiana Bass1 Posted July 8, 2013 Author Posted July 8, 2013 Yeah I read several articles from the web and none of them state what bait he was actually throwing. Found that odd. It must be a bait from a company that does not sponsor him. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted July 8, 2013 Super User Posted July 8, 2013 It looked to me like he was using Bomber Fat Free Shads, from his old hard bait sponsor. That's why he didn't give specifics. He signed with Megabass right before the season started, he probably didn't have much time to grow comfortable with their baits. Quote

I watched the broadcast closely to see what he was using but it was hard to tell, it seems logical that he would use the baits he's been using for the last 10 years.Edwin was with Pradco for years. They make Bomber, Yum, Booyah, Rebel and several others. Right before the season started he signed with Zoom, War Eagle and Megabass. Megabass is his new hard bait sponsor but I can totally see it taking some time to get used to their crankbaits and how they run. 1 Quote

Didn't even really realize he was no longer with YUM this year till you mentioned it. Quote
