Wow! I must be really out of touch with the "modern" technology of bass
fishing. I have fished with mono all my life, and I catch bass. Not
bragging, but I think I do pretty good overall using the "old"
equiptment, and my learned techniques. I have tried different inovations
from time to time, but have noticed lttle difference in my
production....but there are so many variables, it would be hard to say
one way or the other for sure. All I know is that I am comfortable with
what got me there...."Dance with the one that brung ya!".
Now the "kid" would tell ya a different story...he is always looking for
an added edge, and he certainly out fishes me grin.
My opinion....90% technique...10% equiptment.
