I saw Rick say the same thing last year on the BassMaster University TV show that apparently did not make the new lineup.

Anyway, he used very good logic in saying that becoming totally familiar with the exact feel of one set up, he need not ever have to adjust to different feels for each of his rod and reel combos. That does make a lot of sense. Even though I have several different brands of rods, I think that advice would be most affective when applied to the rod, as it is where most of us sense or feel the action of the bait. Of course many of us also probably keep one finger on the line, as that is even more sensitive.

LOL, maybe I'm just too much a Wus to use that high gear ratio on the deep diving, strong resistance baits... LMAO

Anyway you cut it, 28 straight appearances in the classic, I think the most classic wins, and voted the Greatest Angler in the GAD, well you have to figure he does know a thing or two about catching fish.

BTW, one of the things that "hooked" me on Clunn was when I first saw him, I don't know 15 or more years ago, he had a pony tail!!! I think he was the "Ike" of that time... LMAO

PS, what I like the most about what he says is how you, as the angler, have to become one with your environment. this way you are able to notice changes the most quickly and make the proper adjustments. Now if I can just learn to do that. LOL
