As a professional bass angler, Edwin Evers is often asked, "What is the best lure?" or "If you had to choose one lure, what would it be?". Bassmaster Classic champion Evers believes, for him, that one lure would be a jig. It's versatile, and can be fishing in all seasons. He believes that bass primarily feed on three things, and the jig is able to imitate all three. Evers joined us in January 2019, in Tulsa, OK to share his approach to jig fishing.
In this seminar, Edwin covers how he approaches jig fishing in a "prepared for anything" fashion. Ever had the color you wanted, but not the right type or size? Edwin's approach to being prepared ensures he has what he needs without loading his boat with every color, size and style jig combination on the planet.
