Revival of a bass fishing blast from the not-so-distant past

by Mitchell Forde

My take: I first heard of the scrounger a while back when bass legend Aaron Martens brought it to the attention of the bass fishing world.

by Brian Carter

My take: Bait Finesse System (BFS) gear is a hot trend. It’s cool to see a top bait company like Z-Man producing some high-quality choices for anglers chasing big bass on light gear.

by David A. Brown
