All of my reels are top of the line Abu Garcia baitcasters. When I graduated from High School, my father gave me my first matching rod and reel. From that day forward, I was hooked on the feel of professional equipment as an extension of myself. I have a range of rods, from G Loomis to Bass Pro and Colonon. I can fish spinnerbait, crankbait and a jig. My strongest technique is the use of Zoom plastic worms and lizards. I have a secret way of using weights. The presentation seems to attract the fish. I believe in a good shot of scent to help produce a strike.
