I have noticed that quite a few successful tournament anglers have stories about fishing local tournaments early in their journey to the higher levels of tournaments.  I never fished a tournament on any level until this year.  I did do a lot of fishing with various family and friends growing up, but honestly a small percentage of which was bass fishing.

So, my question is this. 

Am I at a disadvantage in my pursuit to be competitive at the highest levels of bass fishing?  At my age I feel like I don't have the time to slowly build the expertise.

LMAO,

 Dude, I LOVE your honesty.

 To be honest it pique my interest because I do NOT enjoy spinning reals. In my defense I'm trying to adapt, but.....

More often than not, I trim my skirts to the hook.  Recently I've been turning my trailer vertical to present more like bait fish.  Ironically still using crawfish type trailers.

I am interested to understand how seasonal changes impact how we fish jigs.  Jigs are in my top 3 favorite baits to use. Recently I put a skirt on a swim bait head with a grub trailer and caught a largies dragging across pads.

Anyone recognize this little guy?
I found it on a boat dock with no hooks on it. I’ve been debating on whether to freshen up the paint and use it or leave as is if there’s any nostalgic value.

QQ for the SUF fam.

What's the opinion on BFS (Bait Finesse System)?

Interesting.... 

So, I am going to answer your question with a question. BLat style...Is using a leader more relevant to the technique and less about the fish seeing your line??
