9 weight rod: when wind, big flies, or big fish show up A 9 weight rod earns its place when conditions or target fish get more demanding
Average drys, nymphs, and wet flies are tied on those core size 12, 14, and 16 hooks, because thats the size range of the most common trout foods imitated with flies
If birds are busting baitfish on the surface, this is a great lure to try and extract some bites from that bait ball
Non-Slip Loop Knot This is a great knot for topwater lures, as it allows them to work more freely
Bass are so agressive, its fun to see there raw power explode on the surface attacking lures
Best for Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, and weightless setups
