level bass is the swimbait. Different models are available for searching and for specific targets, and both soft and hard plastic models have their time and place. The Basstrix Paddletail has proven to be the deadliest of the soft plastic models, and should be employed on a Gamakatsu Weighted Superline Spring Lock hook. A top secret internal hook model by Blade-Runner tackle is available for faster deployment. Different sizes (weights) permit both deep and shallow engagements on Basstrix Paddletails. Spring bass are more easily enticed with soft swimbaits over hard models, because they are realistic at slow retrieve speeds. Large-size weapons are more convincing to enemy forces since small prey don’t survive winter operations.

Special Instructions: Weather conditions are highly variable in the spring, so dress in layers to accommodate changing temperatures. Stealth1 Charging Systems are mandatory to keep all

transport vehicle batteries fully operational in adverse weather conditions throughout extended operations. Before invading enemy territory, all classes of supply must be strategically loaded for efficient employment, and pre-deployment mechanical inspections prevent

equipment malfunctions during the heat of battle.

Execute this OPORD ASAP and to the letter,

and your mission will succeed.
