I fished one in NC this past weekend. It did pretty good going thru the grass. Even when you felt it hook grass , you could pull it free and most of the time it was grass free. It has good action. I caught one 16 inch largemouth bass on it. 

Sounds good. Yes, I caught fish on Roanoke Rapids Lake in NC. 

I’m happy to join if you can catch me not fishing. 😀

I’ll take one of those this weekend. 😀

I can make it now.

I know you have promoted to be a co-angler for the professional tournaments that have the openings. I have read stories that they are not filling all the co-anglers spots due to a lack of people signing up. Some say it’s because of forward facing sonar and there is nothing for the co-anglers to do all day. 

I want to participate next year and may just choose places that are less conducive for FFS. What are your thoughts about this trend?

It’s on the border of NC/VA. The lake has a dam on each end and it has a lot of grass with clear water in the shallows. It is used to maintain the water level between Lake Gaston and Kerr Reservoir. When they run current between the dams they say the fishing is awesome but most of the times the dams are closed. There are a couple of islands with waterways between them than can get shallow. Seems to be a good mix of Largemouth bass and spotted bass.
