Wesley Strader

Topic 1: When to Power Up - In a world dominated by dropshotting, where swimbaits being the new hot techniques, old standards like spinnerbaits and crankbaits are often forgotten. Not by Wesley Strader, he has them on the deck during almost every tournament and his record speaks for itself. Strader will teach you why you shouldn't disregard these staples and how to use them to maximum effect next time you are out on the water.

Topic 2: When to Power Down - Even the most hardcore power fisherman occasionally has to put the meat sticks down and try something more subtle. That doesn't necessarily mean super-light rods. There's an in-between level, combining the best aspects of power fishing and finesse techniques, and Wesley's Tennessee roots make him a master of it. He'll share his expertise with you in this class.
