Been waiting all summer long for this one to try. Seviin Reels new 300-size reel is now available. Good choice if you're into swimbaiting or glidebaiting for bass .... or if you're a closet pike angler like this guy is.

An optional power handle would be great on this type of reel as well.

The Z-Man Fishing Products Chatterbait Elite EVO Tungsten with fire craw Chatterspike put some dandies into the boat a short 48 hours ago.

The more I fish it, the more discoveries I make with it - I've got a lot of situations and applications with these in order to rile up smallmouths. It's a top tool for shallow sand, shallow rock, deflecting over wood, and it also helps to do this on darker tannic waters where the reduced clarity will help mask the hardware.

The tungsten model can also be fished slowly along bottom too - painfully slow retrieves. If the head ain't grinding, and your reel isn't making 1 revolution for every two seconds, you aren't working it slow enough. That was this weekend's cold front requirement as all hits (extremely light) were on the slowest possible speed whilst keeping it moving.

I'll have more to say in next newsletter and in a feature story focusing only on Chatterbait smallmouths. Until then, visit Z-Man's website to get some in Bama Craw.

Mid-September Updates -

1) September bass class posted to website. Had time for 2 for now. More to come possibly. But just know that September and October fishing has become habitual and repetitive, so stuff I wrote 4 years ago is still largely in play.

2) A mess of new and old fall topics have been posted to the website. Go check everything out. Become a digital subscriber if you haven't. If you are a reader and want to follow my instruction, you'll get lots out of this and it costs a couple dollars per month compared to what a full day rate goes.

3) September newsletter and some reports coming next week (I hope). Sign up to newsletter if you are new here!

4) I will be on the water this weekend and on select weekends throughout this fall.
