NRX 803S JWR Drop Shot Rod
The G. Loomis NRX 803S JWR drop shot rod and the NRX 852S JWR have been awesome additions to my arsenal.
Both have enough flex in the tip and the right parabolic bend to launch light drop shot rigs into the wind when it’s needed but these are drop shot specific rods.
Weightless Worms They are not the best for ned rigs or shaky heads. Grab a Mossyback or something else for that presentation that needs a hookset.

Go Eat a Bird!!!
Go Eat a Bird!!! Bought a Save Phace now I am glad I did after reading a friends blog.
The story goes like this. Guy has a fast bass boat like a lot of us do. Running loaded down fairly well on a lake with heavy boat traffic that day. The pair were flying down the lake headed off to the next spot. That is when a group of coots surprisingly came out of nowhere. One of the biggest and slowest birds hit the trolling motor with the boat going about 70 miles and hour. Another bird hit the console and then hit the driver directly in the face.

End of a Marathon – Lessons from Tournament Day
End of a Marathon: Tournament Day Gone Wrong Sure, we’ve all had one of those days. Today was tournament day, and after a long Friday at work, we rolled into Lawrence around 9 PM—just in time to discover it was KU Graduation Weekend.
The scramble for a hotel room First stop? No luck. It quickly became clear we might be spending the night in the truck at the ramp. As luck would have it, the very first hotel we called had an available room.
Buzzbait Conditions
The conditions were perfect for a buzzbait bite — post-frontal weather, a light chop on the water, and just enough surface distortion to hide the bait’s outline. A textbook setup.
Every time conditions line up like that, I start hoping the bass will commit to topwater. When they do — wow. There’s nothing like the explosion of a big fish hammering that bait across the surface.
Buzzbait Conditions When It Works Best Low skies and low light, especially on a slightly cooler day Shallow fish holding near visible cover — the buzzbait flushes them out Over wood, vegetation, or any structure that gives fish a good ambush spot Light wind to flat calm water Stained or clear water where visibility varies [!
Bassmaster Pro James Niggemeyer Saves Man and Toddler in Lake Murray Rescue
🎣 Bassmaster Pro James Niggemeyer Saves Man and Toddler in Lake Murray Rescue Dramatic Rescue on Tournament Day On the morning of Thursday, May 12, 2011, Lake Murray was the setting for the first day of the Bassmaster Evan Williams Bourbon Carolina Clash—but for professional angler James Niggemeyer and his Marshal, Russ Sorrells, the focus quickly shifted from fishing to a desperate rescue.
Speeding toward their initial fishing spot, the pair spotted a situation often warned about, but rarely witnessed: a father and his young son struggling in the water, their own vessel still running dangerously close by.
