The Starting Spot: Combs’ 9th Annual Fundraiser, a Fall Neko Fishing Guide, and Cherry Joins SEVIIN Reels

In this edition of The Starting Spot:

-This is the 9th Annual Fundraiser that Bassmaster Elite pro Keith Combs and his wife Jennifer have hosted. Combs and his wife are inspirational, selfless, big-hearted people, who work hard on this event every year to help others. Proceeds from this year’s event go to the C.A.S.T. for kids foundation benefitting kids with special needs. Take a look at the story and see how you can get in on the fun (I know Shaw Grigsby is the guest speaker at the dinner!), and help a great cause.

-Bassmaster Elite angler Brian Schmitt has been on a roll recently. In this short video he drops a ton of tips about catching finicky, transitional, early fall bass on a Neko rig. Pay special attention to his suggestions for a location you might be missing.

-The SEVIIN Reel company is relatively new on the fishing scene, but they’ve been making some big impressive moves lately. I’ve been checking out a couple of their reels this year and I’ve been nothing but impressed (review article coming soon). And the fact that two-time Bassmaster Classic champion Hank Cherry has now joined their pro staff, speak volumes about the quality of these reels and the level of commitment SEVIIN is making.

From a story on CastForKids.org: You will recognize Keith Combs as a Bassmaster Elite Series Tournament Angler, but we know Keith and his wife, Jennifer, as C.A.S.T. for Kids family members! Keith has spent his life fishing and giving back to the community. In 2022, Keith and Jennifer introduced Lufkin community to the C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation by hosting a dinner fundraiser and a C.A.S.T. for Kids fishing event.
