Interesting to go into a business you know so little about.

My three for spring would be 5" Senko, Zoom Trick Worm and Zoom 6"

Ronnie,
I does seem strange,
The truth is Pro bass fishing is just something I never really
considered much. Before getting into this new shop. We were a fly shop
primarily. I am pretty good with stick baits, popper fishing and the
like. I can pick and suggest fly patterns nd presentations all day
long.... usually.
My use of soft plastics up to this point was really by chance and
almost never really planned. I have always been fishing... ever since
I was old enough to hold a stick. My dad taught me plenty about
fishing in the brooks and rivers with worms, how to tie flies.... but
neither of us got into using plastics for some reason.

Our old shop was small and our locals at the old location really
didn't have the money to invest in bass boats, $300 + bait casters, or
$20 packs of yamamotos. they were primarily economy bait fishermen.
The new shop location is a whole new story though, and we have found
ourselves at a loss to support the local bass fishermen and I feel
like we might miss out and disappoint some of these guys if we don't
carry what is needed. However, now with the boats getting stored for
winter, we haven't been seeing many of the bass guys in the shop.

Thanks for your favorites, I have added them to my running list. We do
have a bunch of the 5" senkos in, but none of the trick worms.

To fix this, myself and my business partner have a spot reserved with
a pro bass guide next spring so we can learn more about fishing with
plastics. I have done some reading up on fishing drop shot, and wacky
rigs. I practice pitching, flipping and the like in the shop when I
get a chance.

I have always enjoyed bass fishing.... but historically fall back on
my 3" black and gold floating rapala, or a popper to catch them. This
spring we will be leaving the hardbaits at home purposefully to learn
more about plastics. (not to mention watchng Bill Dance on OLN)

Do you have a color preference on those patterns for spring bass?
