As the Elite Series moved south to Toledo Bend Reservoir, spawning fish were once again in every anglerâs crosshairs. Dean Rojasâ secret weapon was this little number, a bream-imitator that he Texas rigged and flopped into the bed of defensive spawning bass. He managed 70-15.
Of course, no discussion of bass fishing these days is complete without mention of the controversial Alabama Rig. Itâs already won untold sums of cash from upper- to club-level tournaments, and has spurred arguments at these same venues. Regardless of where you stand on its legality and use, you have to admit, it is the No. 1 most influential lure of 2011.
