Wow, Karma or what!!!!

I was just reading a back issue of Bassmasters august/September 2001 with a
similar article. They ran from 1967 to 2001.
The top four winning tournament presentations all over the US and in most
seasons were Crankbait, Spinner, Jig, worm/lizard-Texas rigged.

They did not break it down to specific presentations in the worm category.

Kind of confusing I would say. Since when is spinnerbait a technique? Or for
that matter Crankbait, Jig, Buzzbait and on and on, Now flipping is a technique
as is dropshotting or carolina rigging but would you call a fluke a technique
-- I think not. And sight fishing is niether a bait nor a technique, only a way
to locate fish. Then you must select your bait and the technique you need to
catch them.

Seems to me that when it is added up, some type of soft plastic catchs between
75 and 80 percent of the fish.

I have to agree. The list crosses up baits and techniques. For
instance, flipping rated the highest success rate, but are some of
those numbers for that particular presentation included in some of the
listed "baits" like jig/worm, for instance.

I would be interested in a better analysis of tournament wins based on
bait and technique or presentation, if such a thing exists, but I
don't think this is it.

That shallow, super-productive Florida water has you spoiled, Moe. Catching
a fish on any kind of lure is a technique, especially in deeper water.
