Super User Sam Posted January 23, 2020 Super User Posted January 23, 2020 The book, Destroying Bass Fishing Myths by John Mark Warren is excellent and it smashes many myths of bass fishing.

I agree this book is a very interesting read and has some great information. The book has one flaw that I think was unforgivable. He has a chapter "Graphite and Fiberglass on Trial" where he challenges the idea that fiberglass rods are better for crankbaits because they are less sensitive. His primary argument against the need for fiberglass rods involves numerous quotes from Rick Clunn that he says support his claim. The guy obviously didn't do his homework. I can't think of any pro that has done more to promote the use of fiberglass over graphite rods for crankbaits. Rick Clunn has said that using new graphite rods for crankbaits almost cost him the 1976 Classic. For me this mistake cast doubt on the whole book but I enjoyed reading it. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted January 23, 2020 Super User Posted January 23, 2020 Tight action crankbaits are best in cold water and wide action are best in warm water . In my experience this is not true . 5 Quote
