Ask A Pro A Question

[Glenn]

Hey folks!

I have the opportunity to interview some pros 1-on-1, and I want to include your questions. Literally.  As in "Jake from Spokane, Washington asks...."

 

So PM me your questions and be sure to include your real name, city, and state, and you'll get to see your questions answered in an upcoming video!

 

Thanks!

Glenn

The Mike iaconelli* one was cool !

[hunterPRO1]

whats the worst piece of fishing gear you've ever used ?

 

 

[dwh4784]

As a Spokanite I resemble that...maybe you meant to ask Jake from State Farm what he was wearing?

 

[wisconsin heat]

What is the first thing you look for when fishing a new body of water?

[jr231]

@slonezp Mike tells him " it'd be nice to have more free time ' 

Then asked , "what would you do with your free time ?"

Mike replied, "....Probably fish"

You need to send Glenn a PM with your question.

That's what I was going to say.  Not too much you could ask that pros don't already answer on a daily basis on the web.

Actually I think the rod question could be interesting assuming one could get an honest answer from them.  These guys have a huge amount of experience and I assume most to none started out fishing the high end stuff.

No doubt, but I imagine they are bound by sponsorships that would prevent them from recommending anything not currently on their jersey.

Who said mine wasn't serious ?  . I'd love to know all the pros unbiased opinions on stickbaits. 

 

 

Also I have much doubt that they fish budget rod and reels(or ones under 100). It's what they do for a living and would assume most everything is top notch. 

 

I think whatever they are willing to share is awesome. And I'm looking forward to the video

Impossible, especially on a youtube video.

Lol ok? That's one instance Jordan. I'm sure there are more.. but I'm also sure the majority uses combos well over 100 dollars. Hell, alot of the Joes do. 

 

Also.. I never said that it was possible ? I just said I'd love to hear it !

Ya, see, that's what happens when assumptions are made...especially when it comes to the "secret" world of sponsorships. (not really "secret", but few really know how it works).

 

Fact is, many companies are heavily competing in the sub-$100 price wars right now for both rods and reels, and introducing new gear that is well-made and doesn't break the bank.  Fact is, when it comes to sponsorships, you use what the sponsors want to push - usually their latest products, not necessarily their most expensive. And if they can get a pro to win a tournament on gear that's priced in that hot market....that's money baby.

[jr231]

@Glenn makes sense to me. I have alot to say about the subject. But I'm not here to stir things up. Looking forward to the video.

Have you cheated on your wife / girlfriend while on tour?  

He won't have to answer the look on his face will say all the wife / girlfriend will need to know.

Oh there's no doubt about that!  I was just pointing out a notable example that came to mind  

[QUAKEnSHAKE]

If you could only use one lure during the next tourney what would it be?

[Mike L]

I realize some of these are suggestive and open ended and could rely on a "feeling" or "hunch" but someone may give good insight....

 

When useing soft plastics, what are the deciding factor's you consider that would convince you to change the color of the bait you're useing first, before changing to another plastic bait style?

 

What factors do you consider to help you decide what bait or presentation to change too, when what you're useing doesn't work?

 

How long do you stay with a certain bait before you decide to make a change?

 

How long do you stay in an area without getting bit, before moving to another spot?

 

When moving to another spot do you look for an area similar to the one you left, or something completely different?

 

How do you decide when to up or down size the hook's on hard baits?

[buzzed bait]

do you happen to know which pros you'll be interviewing?  i'd ask a different question most likely depending on who you were going to ask.
