Poche Goes Shallow For Day 2 Lead At Bassmaster Open On James River

RICHMOND, Va. — Keith Poche was equipped to do what no one else could do, and it helped him take over the Day 2 lead at the St. Croix Bassmaster Northern Open at James River presented by Mossy Oak Fishing with a two-day total of 41 pounds.

Hailing from Pike Road, Ala., Poche caught a Day 1 limit of 17-6 and tied Texas pro Randy Sullivan for 14th place. On Friday, he added 23-10 — the event’s second-heaviest bag — which was anchored by a 6-4 largemouth.

Committing to the far reaches of shallow tributaries, Poche fished out of a 17 1/2-foot Gator Trax aluminum boat with a 90-horsepower Mercury outboard. The lightweight vessel has low-water pickup, which allows Poche to run supershallow.

Poche left his push pole at home, so he improvised with a 2×4, using the simple tool to negotiate the tighter spots.

“I found a little deal in practice and I had a lot of bites on Monday,” Poche said. “I never went back (in practice), so I went back yesterday and caught a ton of fish. I should have had over 20 pounds yesterday, but it was really windy, they bit funny and a lot of fish just came unbuttoned.

“It slicked off today and I was really able to pick some stuff apart, really fine-tune it and really capitalize on some of those bigger bites. I quit early and left about 12 o’clock because I wasn’t doing myself any good culling a 3- or 4-pounder I may need (on Championship Saturday).”

Targeting a mix of cover in a foot of water or less, Poche was looking for spawning bass. He caught his fish on a Texas-rigged Berkley PowerBait The General and a Berkley Warpig lipless bait.

“I noticed that I did better when the tide was out, and I think that’s going to help me tomorrow,” Poche said. “When the water is low, I’m able to see those stumps and dark spots on the flat where they’re spawning and I’m able to pinpoint them. Yesterday, the wind was so bad, that I was just casting around.

“I lost so many yesterday because I was throwing a moving bait and they were just nipping at it. They weren’t really eating it; they were just running it off their bed. I had a lot of short strikes and that’s why they came off.”

With today’s improved visibility, Poche’s hook-up percentage was significantly higher. He caught one of his limit fish on the lipless bait and the other four on the Texas rig.

Timing was key for Poche, as he found bass moving up to the spawning locations later in the day.

“I went by a stump first thing this morning that had deep water pretty close, and I went by a couple of hours later and I saw a big fish up there next to a log,” he said. “I pitched over there and she ate it.

“I think that, as it warms up, they’re pulling up and getting ready to do their thing and backing off at night. They’re in the vicinity; it’s just catching them when they’re right there.”

Bassmaster Elite Series pro Kenta Kimura of Osaka, Japan, is in second place with 40-5. He added 23-5 Friday to the 17 pounds he caught on Day 1.

“After the Elite event on Chickamauga (April 7-10), I had less than three days to practice,” he said. “I spent a day and a half in the Chickahominy River (a major tributary downstream from takeoff), but it took me all day to catch 14 to 15 pounds.

“I figured just stay close and try to figure something out. I had two main areas; one was 10 minutes from takeoff and one was 30 seconds away.”

Relying on techniques he mastered on his home waters of Japan’s Lake Biwa, Kimura caught his bass on a large hard-body swimbait and a 3/8-ounce buzzbait with a prototype Berkley PowerBait creature bait.

“I just went back and forth between my two areas,” Kimura said. “Yesterday, I probably caught six keepers, but today I caught 20 keepers.”

Hailing from Middletown, Conn., Alex Wetherell is in third place with 39-7. After setting the high mark on Day 1 with a 25-9 limit that included a couple of 7-pounders, he added a Day 2 bag of 13-14.

Returning to the same creek scenario he fished on Day 1, Wetherell lamented the morning’s 80-minute fog delay, which cost him a critical morning bite.

“On tidal water, timing is everything, so having that delay definitely hurt me,” he said. “I’m definitely still around the fish, so I feel good about tomorrow.”

Wetherell fished a mix of reaction baits and targeted presentations with a jig and a Texas-rigged worm. During the higher tide stage, slowing down proved helpful.

Joey Murphy of Elkton, Md., is in the lead for Phoenix Boats Big Bass honors with his 7-11 largemouth caught on Day 1.

James Nealy of Yale, Va., won the co-angler division with a two-day total of 26-14. After leading Day 1 with 15-2, he added 11-12 and took home the $25,183 top prize.

Focusing on shallow wood, Nealy relied mainly on a 5/16-ounce chartreuse/white spinnerbait with tandem gold and silver Colorado blades. Making contact with the hard cover was the key to getting bites.

“Every fish I caught except for one was on a spinnerbait,” Nealy said. “Around midday today, the spinnerbait bite slowed down and I needed one more keeper, so I went to flipping a craw bait and got my last one.”

Nealy’s first-round bag included an 8-2, which earned the $250 Phoenix Boats Big Bass award for the co-angler division. He also won the $500 St. Croix Rods bonus for being the highest finishing co-angler who fished with St. Croix Rods.

Saturday’s takeoff is scheduled for 6:30 a.m. ET at Osborne Park & Boat Landing. The weigh-in will be held back at the Landing at 2:30 p.m. Coverage is available on Bassmaster.com.

Visit Richmond and Henrico County, Va., are hosting the event.

Wetherell Follows Two-Stage Plan To Lead Bassmaster Open On James River

[print_link]

RICHMOND, Va. — Alex Wetherell was not particularly thrilled with his practice, but his mood changed dramatically after catching a five-bass limit that weighed 25 pounds, 9 ounces to lead Day 1 of the St. Croix Bassmaster Northern Open at the James River presented by Mossy Oak Fishing.

“This is proof that practice does not matter,” said Wetherell, who lives in Middletown, Conn. “This was not a good practice at all. I sampled (various areas) and, thankfully, that sampling turned into a pretty good bag today.

“In practice, I’d catch a fish and get out of there. I didn’t sting too many of these fish and, come tournament time, I expanded on these areas and caught some good ones.”

Wetherell’s leading bag — his biggest in tournament competition — included a pair of 7-pounders. One of those big fish bit during the first 20 minutes.

Making a long run, Wetherell spent his day in tributary waters where he targeted a mix of cypress trees and pads with moving baits. Some of the bass in his areas were prespawners, but some had moved onto beds.

“I’m running into both in the same areas, but (prespawn and spawning fish) are 20 yards apart,” Wetherell said. “I’m fishing stuff right near the areas where they’re spawning. I caught some of my bigger fish doing that, and I caught 2- to 4-pound fish that seemed to be on beds.”

Wetherell knew the week’s warming trend would hasten the fish’s seasonal pattern, but with the low-visibility characteristic of tidal rivers, he couldn’t count on seeing any spawning fish.

“It scared me that we’re having all this warm weather and all these fish were going to move in for the spawn because I didn’t feel like I had areas where I thought they would spawn,” he said. “Today I just kind of figured it out just by the way they would hit. The deal I found was a prespawn deal and the spawn deal was just kind of a bonus.”

Typically, fish that are guarding beds will only nip at intrusive baits and try to carry them off their property. This often yields multiple missed bites, but Wetherell was able to dial in a presentation that allowed him to hook several bed fish.

“The key was slowing down and really picking apart the areas,” he said. “As windy as it was, I would just put my Minn Kota Raptors down, fancast an area and really work it through. Having a couple of big fish early settled me down and allowed me to work thoroughly and that gave me some of those key bites.

“In practice, I really didn’t catch many fish that were very big and I thought, ‘If I catch 15 pounds today, I’ll be really happy.’ I’m over the moon about the bag I had today. From yesterday to today, I feel totally different.”
Looking ahead to Day 2, Wetherell said, “There are definitely fish around. I don’t know if I’m going to catch another 7-pounder, but I’ll definitely be around them.”

Brad Leuthner of Independence, Minn., is in second place with 22-4. Catching a 7-5 kicker eased the pain of seeing what could have been a monster bag diminished by tough breaks.

“That 7-pounder goes a long way, but I had another one on that was that big if not bigger,” Leuthner said. “This morning, I got some mud in my livewell pump and I had a 2 1/2-pound fish die. I could have had another 3 or 4 pounds today.”

Leuthner said he fished the Chickahominy — a major tributary downstream from takeoff — and sought areas with the gravel bottom that spawning fish favor. He said he caught all prespawners, but they were located adjacent to those hard-bottom areas.

“I mixed it up throughout the day,” Leuthner said of his bait selections. “When the tide was right, I could throw a moving bait, but when the tide (was unfavorable), I had to slow down with plastic baits.”

Joey Murphy of Elkton, Md., is in third place with 22-3. Fishing shallow cover with slower presentations, Murphy said his best strategy involved making the most of the day’s different tide stages.

“For what I was fishing, I wanted more water over their heads, but I was able to get them on the lower tides as well,” Murphy said. “It seemed like you had to transition with them as the tide changed.”

Murphy caught good bass throughout the day, but he ended with a bang.

“I caught a 7-11 25 minutes before check-in time,” he said. “I culled out a 2 1/2-pounder with that one.”

Murphy is in the lead for Phoenix Boats Big Bass honors with that 7-11.

James Nealy of Yale, Va., leads the co-angler division with 15-2. Fishing shallow wood cover with reaction baits, Nealy’s day got off to a quick start and included an 8-2 that leads the Phoenix Boats Big Bass standings for the co-angler division.

“When you get your limit early and you catch a big kicker fish (8-2) early, it makes you feel good and makes the rest of the day easy,” Nealy said. “I had my limit in the first hour and a half, then I caught the big one around 11 o’clock.

“About an hour before we came in, I made one final cull with a 4-pounder.”

Friday’s takeoff is scheduled for 6:30 a.m. ET at Osborne Park & Boat Landing. The weigh-in will be held back at the Landing at 2:30 p.m. Coverage is available on Bassmaster.com.

Visit Richmond and Henrico County, Va., are hosting the event.

Tennessee Pro Grinds Out Four Bass Weighing 16 Pounds, 6 Ounces to Win Heavy Hitters Title and $100,000, Alton Jones, Jr. Lands 6-Pound, 4-Ounce Largemouth to Earn $100,000 Big Bass Bonus

TYLER, Texas (April 15, 2022) – Despite being from Tennessee, something about Texas just ‘fits’ with pro angler Ott DeFoe. DeFoe, of Blaine, Tennessee, boated four scorable bass weighing 16 pounds, 6 ounces to top the final-day Championship Round and win the top prize of $100,000 at the Major League Fishing (MLF) General Tire Heavy Hitters Presented by Bass Pro Shops on Lake Palestine. DeFoe won by a narrow 12-ounce margin over pro Justin Lucas of Guntersville, Alabama, who caught four bass totaling 15-10.

The victory marks DeFoe’s fourth career victory on the Bass Pro Tour, three of which have come on Texas fisheries – Lake Fork, Sam Rayburn Reservoir, and now Lake Palestine.

“Man, I love Texas,” a jubilant DeFoe said as the SCORETRACKER® clock expired. “I’m so thankful to have pulled it out. It was a hard day of fishing, and when it’s the 3-pound minimum like we had today, you have to really make every bite count.

“After the first period, I felt like I was out of it,” DeFoe continued. “I had fished all through this area and hadn’t caught anything. It really killed my confidence. I was around a ton of fish on the lower end, and there were some big ones. But I couldn’t get anything going. I came back up here for the last hour or so and I got it done.”

At 3:20 p.m., with just 40 minutes remaining in the competition, DeFoe had weighed in just two scorable bass for 8-2 and was in the bottom half of the leaderboard. In the final 35 minutes, DeFoe caught a 4-10 and a 3-10 to overtake Lucas and earn the top spot.

“Two main baits were the key for me this week,” DeFoe said. “The first was a 4½-inch swimbait, rigged on a VMC Tokyo Rig with a 3/8-ounce weight. I caught some key fish on that, but the big thing was I’d use that to get the fish aggravated and then catch them with the Texas rig. I fished the Tokyo Rig on a 7-foot, 3-inch (Bass Pro Shops) Johnny Morris CarbonLite 2.0 with an 8:3:1 gear ratio CarbonLite reel and 40-pound braided line with a 20- pound (Bass Pro Shops) XPS fluorocarbon leader.

“The other one – that did most of my damage this week – was a Texas-rigged Bass Pro Magnum Fin-Eke Worm. I used the Sooner Run color, with a new VMC hook that is not available yet – but the heavy-duty worm hook works really well with that – and fished it on my favorite setup, a 7-foot, 1-inch medium-heavy Johnny Morris Platinum rod and an 8:3:1 gear ratio Platinum reel with 40-pound braided line and a 17-pound (Bass Pro Shops) XPS fluorocarbon leader.

“I am so thankful, it has been an absolutely awesome week,” DeFoe went on to say. “I really enjoy it when we visit Texas. It doesn’t always work out in a win for me, but it’s treated me well over these past few years.”

Although DeFoe will bring the Heavy Hitters Title and $100,000 top prize back to Tennessee, the big money will be staying in Texas. After catching the $50,000 Berkley Big Bass in the Knockout Round on Wednesday, Waco, Texas, pro Alton Jones, Jr. added another to his resume in the Championship Round Thursday – this one weighing 6 pounds, 4 ounces – to also earn the Championship Round $100,000 Berkley Big Bass Award. All told, the young angler will earn $165,000 for his two Big Bass bonuses and prize money for his 5^th place finish.

“Man, we have made some money on (Lake) Palestine this week catching big bass,” Jones said. “$50,000 yesterday, $100,000 today – I can not believe it. Sight fishing in the springtime is what I love to do, it’s my favorite thing in the world. Kind of like how my dad won Heavy Hitters last year. He taught me a lot when it comes to sight fishing, and what I learned really paid off for me this week.”

Jones said both of his Big Bass Award winners came on a bait that will be released around ICAST this year – a Geecrack Bellow Shad, in AJ’s Juice color.

“Just like yesterday, I caught my fish on the Bellow Shad,” Jones said. “It’s not available yet, but I can’t wait to roll it out later this year – it’s going to be my signature bait. It’s pretty cool to be throwing things out here that nobody else has.

“It’s already been a special year, and I didn’t think anything could top winning Lake Fork earlier this season, but we managed to do it this week,” Jones said. “This is a heck of a payday – $165,000. I think that’s probably the best you can get without winning REDCREST. I’m so excited – life is good in the Jones’ household.”

The top 10 pros from the General Tire Heavy Hitters event on Lake Palestine are:

1st:        Ott DeFoe, Blaine, Tenn., four bass, 16-6, $100,000
2nd:       Justin Lucas, Guntersville, Ala., four bass, 15-10, $25,000

Daiwa’s Yamamoto 5” NEKO CRAWLER advances finesse bass fishing

Cypress, CA (April 14, 2022) – The Wacky Rig barnstormed bass fishing in the early 2000’s, offering an unusual but hugely effective method for rigging soft plastic worms. Finesse anglers in Japan reconfigured the presentation years later, creating an even deadlier approach to duping inactive and pressured fish: Neko Rigs. Since, the fishing universe has been flooded with custom Neko baits, weights, and hooks. And now, Daiwa offers an even further developed Neko bait. Welcome the new Yamamoto NEKO CRAWLER.

The 5” NEKO CRAWLER hybridizes Daiwa’s NEKO FAT and NEKO STRAIGHT, stealing key elements of each to create the alpha of Neko baits. Its outwardly simple profile is infused with technology and intelligence. For starters, the NEKO CRAWLER is masterminded with legendary Yamamoto knowhow for more wiggle – that special trembling action that drives bass bonkers. Also, the NEKO CRAWLER features a wide diameter nose, providing added surface for inserting Neko weights – from drywall screws to specialty weights. Thirdly, Yamamoto’s inventiveness produces a less buoyant super-soft plastic, allowing the bait to fall and struggle down the water column like a real worm or wounded prey, triggering a bass’s instinct to attack and slurp it up.

The 5” NEKO CRAWLER is the ultimate solution for triggering fish in tough conditions, like exceptionally clear water. Its subtleness stimulates fish that tend to over-analyze offerings. Same goes for cold water, when bass approach slowly, having time to closely examine a presentation. And, in general, the 5” NEKO CRAWLER serves to induce strikes from lethargic fish that ignore about everything else.

This subtleness is also evident in Daiwa’s palette of 10 field tested, natural colors. Because sometimes, it’s that seemingly microscopic color modification that changes a fish’s mind.

Available now, and MADE IN THE USA, the 5” NEKO CRAWLER comes 8 baits to a pack with an MSRP of $8.99.

Bassmaster College Series Takes On Norfork Lake

Bassmaster College Series Takes On Norfork Lake

Mountain Home, Ark. — Many teams will face unfamiliar waters when the country’s top college anglers travel to Norfork Lake in northeast Arkansas April 22-23 for the third stop of the 2022 Strike King Bassmaster College Series presented by Bass Pro Shops, but Bassmaster Elite Series rookie Cody Huff of Ava, Mo., believes the tournament could be a bed fishing bonanza.

“It will be a cool event,” Huff said. “There will be a lot of bass caught.”

This will be the first trip to Norfork Lake for the Bassmaster College Series and the first B.A.S.S. event there since the Bassmaster Elite Series visited the Arkansas reservoir in 2016, an event that was split between Norfork and Bull Shoals.

“It is a highland reservoir and has clear water unless we get a big flood, and then we’ll have some off-colored water,” Huff said. “It is a very healthy fishery.”

The fishery features largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass, but Huff said it will likely take all largemouth to contend.

Historically during the end of April, depending on the weather trends, Huff said bass are typically in the middle of the spawn and will be shallow around flooded bushes, ledge rock and around docks, although docks are not as common.

“There will no doubt be fish spawning,” he said. “It just depends on whether the majority of them have already come or if the majority of them are still coming on how it is won. But I would say it will be won by bed fishing or blind flipping. There will be guys that catch them on ledge rock as well.”

This time of the year, flipping soft-plastic baits like creature baits, Senkos, floating worms and flukes will all come into play, as well as a jig. Huff added that topwater baits like poppers could also catch fish during the event and, if the weather sets up right, spinnerbaits, ChatterBaits and big swimbaits like a Megabass Magdraft could excel.

The Bassmaster College Series will compete April 22-23 with daily takeoffs from Norfork Lake Marina/Henderson Park at 6:10 a.m. CT. Weigh-ins will take place back at the marina at 3:10 p.m. Coverage can be found on Bassmaster.com.

The 2022 Abu Garcia Bassmaster High School Series at Norfork Lake presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors event and the one-day Bassmaster Junior Series event will follow on April 24.

The tournaments are being hosted by the Norfork Lake Chamber of Commerce.

Alton Jones Jr. Catches 8-Pound, 3-Ounce Lunker to Win $50K, Final 10 Set for Championship Round at General Tire Heavy Hitters Presented by Bass Pro Shops Event on Lake Palestine

Birge Paces Knockout Round Field as Eight Anglers Advance, $100K Top Prize and $100K Big Bass Bonus Up for Grabs Thursday

TYLER, Texas (April 13, 2022) – Last year at the 2021 Major League Fishing (MLF) General Tire Heavy Hitters All-Star Event, pro Alton Jones, Sr. put on a Championship Round sight-fishing clinic enroute to winning the Championship Title and the $100,000 top prize. This year, Jr. wants a crack at the belt.

Pro Alton Jones, Jr., of Waco, Texas, caught an 8-pound, 3-ounce largemouth Wednesday afternoon on Lake Palestine – the heaviest bass of the day – to win the $50,000 Berkley Big Bass Bonus at the General Tire Heavy Hitters Presented by Bass Pro Shops on Lake Palestine. Jones, Jr. finished the day in 6th place and now earns his way into Thursday’s final-day Championship Round and a shot at the $100,000 top prize, and the $100,000 Big Bass Bonus.

“I finished in sixth place, but I feel like I won,” Jones, Jr. said. “Man, 50 grand isn’t too bad for one bite. You always hope you’re going to get that bite, and with big fish it can be a little bit of luck. But I caught the biggest and the second-biggest today, and it was just a really fun day.”

Jones, Sr. won the Heavy Hitters title last year despite not earning a Berkley Big Bass Bonus Award during the event. Jones, Jr. said his strategy tomorrow will be a little different.

“It would be cool to win that belt, but I’ve got one goal on my mind tomorrow and that’s catching the biggest bass of the day for $100,000,” the Waco, Texas pro said. “It’s going to be hard to catch a bunch of 3-pounders, but if you can catch an 8 or a 9, you’ll be sitting in a really good position. I’m going to treat this event like a big bass tournament – but it would be very cool to get back-to-back Heavy Hitters titles for the Jones’.

“Tomorrow we’re going have bluebird skies, light winds, and it’s going to be the best sight-fishing day we’ve had all week,” Jones, Jr. went on to say. “It’s going to be hard for me to keep up numbers wise, but I’m going to really try hard to put myself in front of the biggest bass on this lake and make her bite.”

Joining Jones, Jr. in the Championship Round Thursday will be pro Zack Birge of Blanchard, Oklahoma, who won Wednesday’s Knockout Round with 10 scorable bass weighing 37 pounds, 14 ounces – including an 18-pound third period.

“It was a good day. Frustrating, but good,” Birge said. “I ended up with 37 pounds, but I should have had 37 pounds this morning in the first couple of couple of hours if I just could have got them stuck. I’m just thankful I finally got a few of them pegged and got enough bites to fish tomorrow.

“Tomorrow I’ll come back out and start fresh, and hopefully we’ll stick a few more of those early in the day bites,” Birge continued. “It would be nice to get up 20 to 30 pounds before lunch and then continue to do what we did this afternoon. That would be perfect. If any day is going to go perfect, tomorrow is the day. I’ve got my fingers crossed – tomorrow will be better.”

The top eight pros from the Knockout Round that will compete Thursday’s Knockout Round on Lake Palestine are:

1st:        Zack Birge, Blanchard, Okla., 10 bass, 37-14
2nd:       Justin Lucas, Guntersville, Ala., nine bass, 29-7
3rd:       Takahiro Omori, Tokyo, Japan, nine bass, 29-6
4th:        Fletcher Shryock, Guntersville, Ala., nine bass, 29-4
5th:        Ish Monroe, Oakdale, Calif., nine bass, 28-6
6th:        Alton Jones, Jr., Waco, Texas, five bass, 27-10
7th:        Russ Lane, Prattville, Ala., eight bass, 25-6
8th:        Dustin Connell, Clanton, Ala., six bass, 24-12

They’ll be joined by Qualifying Round Winners:

Group A: Ott DeFoe, Blaine, Tenn.
Group B: Stephen Browning, Hot Springs, Ark.

Eliminated from competition after the Knockout Round on Lake Palestine are:

9th:        Jordan Lee, Cullman, Ala., seven bass, 18-7
10th:     Michael Neal, Dayton, Tenn., six bass, 15-10
11th:     Bobby Lane, Lakeland, Fla., five bass, 13-1
12th:     Bradley Roy, Lancaster, Ky., two bass, 7-15
13th:     Brent Ehrler, Redlands, Calif., three bass, 7-8

The General Tire Heavy Hitters 2022 features anglers competing with a 2-pound minimum weight requirement for a bass to be deemed scorable in the Qualifying and Knockout Rounds, but for the final day Championship Round a bass must weigh at least 3 pounds to be deemed scorable. Minimum weights are determined individually for each competition waters that the Bass Pro Tour visits, based on the productivity, bass population and anticipated average size of fish in each fishery.

To qualify for the General Tire Heavy Hitters 2022 event, the weight of an angler’s single-largest bass from each event of the seven 2021 Bass Pro Tour events was recorded. The 32 anglers with the heaviest five big-fish totals from those seven events qualified to compete in this event.

Renowned Lure Designer Jose Chavez joins Z-Man

Jose Chavez is one of those behind-the-scenes people that the fishing industry wouldn’t be the same without. For many years he’s been helping rapidly growing brands like 13Fishing and Savage Gear make a name for themselves in the highly competitive fishing industry. Chavez obviously made a big impression with Z-Man to land the Director of Product Development position. “When I met Jose while fishing in Louisiana 7 or 8 years back, I was immediately impressed by his positive energy and his passion for fishing and the fishing industry itself,” said Daniel Nussbaum, President of Z-Man Fishing. “Since then, it’s been cool to watch his career arc and talents as a product designer really blossom.”

Z-Man is a company that I, like many anglers, contribute a huge part of my fishing success too. From the infamous Chatterbait to ElaZtech soft plastics they have a ton of proven winners. My first year back to tournament fishing after taking 6 years off to raise a family I found myself winning the 2019 Angler of the Year points race in the MLF BFL Shenandoah Division in huge part thanks to Z-Man. Armed with an 18-foot Ranger Aluminum boat I decided to keep my game plan simple. Map study backwaters near the tournament take off, put a Z-Man Chatterbait in my hand, and just go fishing. That game plan obviously worked out as I cashed checks in every event that season and won Angler of the Year. I couldn’t have done it without Z-Man’s Chatterbait that is for sure. I easily caught 80% or more of my fish that season on the Chatterbait. Day in and day out it’s one of the best baits for covering shallow water quickly and generating a lot of bites. With 16 years of history, you can’t hardly find an event that the Chatterbait didn’t contribute to someone’s success in the Top 10. That fact is undeniable, and it made my decision to throw it almost exclusively in 2019 such an easy one.

Jose Chavez said, “I’m a big fan of the everyday angler and the lifestyle…For me, it’s about putting the types of lures in people’s hands that produce amazing, unforgettable on-the-water experiences.” That sounds exactly like what Z-Man has already been doing for many years so he should fit in just fine. Chavez is not only a designer but also has been an avid angler most of his life. Having also competed professionally in the kayak series he finished fourth in the Hobie Kayak Worlds Tournament in Australia. This shows he understands what competitive anglers need to compete as well as the everyday angler.

To see a proven winner of a company like Z-Man sign on an asset to lure designs like Jose Chavez makes me extremely excited as a fan. The sport of bass fishing has a rich history of simple lures and concepts revolutionizing the sport like a tidal wave size ripple. This growth in the Z-Man team should certainly increase the odds for them to produce many more history altering designs.

What could possibly come of this new alliance? Only time will tell, but I have a feeling that the Z-Man Team anglers just got an edge in the years to come. Look out!
