Topic 1: Skirted Swimmers - Spinnerbaits, Chatterbaits and swim jigs all have skirts, and they all catch bass, but there are distinct times and situations where one will work better than the other. Shallow water specialist Cliff Crochet understands how to get the most out of these tools, how they complement one another, and the best way to put more bass in the boat with them.

Topic 2: Speed Kills - The textbooks tell us that the best way to catch big fish is to slow down and seine known trophy-holding areas with subtle presentations. That definitely works, but there are also times when it pays to go warp speed. When fished at a faster-than-normal pace, certain lures will trigger strikes from more and bigger fish. If you know when that's the case, you'll be able to cover water and tempt bigger fish to bite.
