Fig Rig Fishing Rod
Sunday July 13, 2008
At the 2007 Georgia Bass Federation Nation Top Six I won a Fig Rig Carbon Classic fishing rod. I use it for fishing Texas rig worms and jig and pig. It is a very sensitive rod and I am impressed with it. This review has a link to the Fig Rig site as well as my comments and evaluation of the rod I won and use. Fig Rig offers a varity of rods from muskie rods to bass fishing.

It was on just this July 4 of this year I took two boys to the fishing tournament at a local private lake here in Ohio. One was 11 and the other one was 16. The 11 year old caught a one pound Bass, he was proud. We didn’t think it was going to win any thing. But his brother and I took it in for weigh in at 10;00 am anyway just to see. An well what do know, the little guy got first prize. They gave him a new bale caste real all ready to go. And with a smile ear to ear, and a photo for all to see, we went back to the cove to try that thing out.
However as are well known radio commentator
says and here’s the rest of the story. The 16 year old later that day had caught a one or one and a half cat fish on a worm. But the bate had slipped through a plastic lawn chair were the cat fish had got hooked. And you gusted it. He reeled in cat fish and chair. Yes this is true. You never know what your going to catch when you fish kids. But we sure had a good time.
Good catch on the bass to win - and the chair is a funny story. At one NWC I fished a guy tried to weigh in a lawn chair he caught as biggest non-bass species - it was DQed since it was not a “species.”
