Bass fishing is quickly becoming one of America’s most popular pastimes. Even for families, bass fishing is sometimes replacing more traditional activities such as visiting the zoo or the park. Some estimates from the fishing industry suggest that bass fishing is nearly 70% more popular than other types of fresh water fishing. How did bass fishing get to become the favorite freshwater sport for millions of Americans? Just ask a bass fisher. In the last 20 years, bass fishing has transformed from a mere hobby for most into a million-dollar industry. In fact, recent figures indicate that bass fishing is responsible for $4.8 billion in revenue. New anglers are quickly getting the hang of bass fishing, which creates a serious demand for gear and equipment for the sport. So, how would an avid bass fisher explain this growing popularity? Most bass fishers love the great outdoors, and think there’s no better way to relax than enjoying an outdoor activity such as bass fishing. And once the first start biting, the activity gets more exciting. There’s a great feeling of reward when you actually catch something, too. Some amateur bass fishers take their love of the sport - and their talent - to the professional level where they compete in tournaments designed to showcase their fishing skills. Learning to cast the fishing rod is the first step. How you cast the rod determines how the rod will behave in the water - and how successful you’ll be at catching fish. Everyone casts a fishing rod in their own way; even professionals cast differently than each other. Because every bass fisher uses their hands, arms and muscles in unique ways, they naturally cast their fishing rod in a way that isn’t like anyone else. The action of most rods will react substantially the same for all casters, however. When a rod does not react the same for one caster as another, the action of the rod for each caster is different. That is, a rod may be called a stiff action by one caster and a medium stiff action by another, and both are correct. The action of a rod, then, depends directly on the particular caster using it and may vary from caster to caster. There’s absolutely nothing worse than to have a fish on the hook and have the line snap! Well, no more snapping of fishing line with the latest development in monofilament fishing lines. Monofilament fishing lines come in a wide range of colors, sizes, thickness and strength. Although it’s stronger than some of the other more conventional fishing lines, they are cheaper. Monofilament fishing lines comes with special coating that keeps them from snapping easily. The only thing is that they don’t stretch as good as other types of fishing lines but they make up for it with their bulk and strength. Monofilament fishing lines are also quite transparent over the water and hold knots pretty well. How great would it be to know exactly where a big school of fish is hiding out? It’s possible today with a device you can find on the Internet. Just take your device out onto the boat with you on your next trip, turn it on, wait for it to scan the area, and that’s it. The fish-finding device will locate a big group of fish and tell you which direction to go. Some people describe it as an ultrasound scan for the fishing area.
