t’s proof positive that effective baits never
lose their relevance. Bassmaster Elite Series
pro Terry “Big Show” Scroggins looks at
today’s tackle scene and knows that the many different bait options available to him
today have brought about a stricter level of
discernment in his bait selection process.
“If you would have asked me 10 years ago
when do I throw a spinnerbait, I would have
told you it’s my go-to bait,” Scroggins said. “But
there are so many different baits available today,
like the Booyah Boogee Bait, that I really use
a spinnerbait a less frequently.”
Nevertheless, despite the array of
moving baits and situation-specific
trailer options, Scroggins said
the spinnerbait remains a highly
effective option.
“I guarantee you that every
Elite angler has one tied on in his
boat at all times,” he said. “It’s
something you don’t leave
home without.”
