January and February I always take 4 rods with me. A pro suspender, an elite 8, a perfect ten and a super spoonbill.

My largest bass ever came on the first generation suspending Rogue and I grew up catching springtime bass on the old floating Rogues, but 24/7 has changed his middle name to Rogue.

i guess I would too if I had the same level of success with them.

I used to have the same delusional thoughts.

Speaking of Rogues - this was in today's Bass Blaster email:

Here's what Ryan Wood and Turner Mason (from CO!) used to win the recent Bassmaster High School National Championship on Kentucky Lake. Ryan (@RyanWoodFishing) talking:
 

> We completely turned the stereotypical Kentucky Lake fishing on its head and won on floating jerkbaits in less than 3'. ...Smithwick Floating Rogue in chrome/blue back in sunny conditions and golden bass in cloudy low-light conditions.
 

> We fished them as fast and erratic as possible. We were fishing small pockets right off the main lake. We fished there because there was quick access to deep water and the fish were feeding shallow. We also avoided ledges because we didn't believe they would hold up for 3 days and that proved to be true.
 

> Our final-day bag also consisted of 3 smallmouth and 2 largemouth that came out of 92-degree water that was 2' deep. The smallies were the three biggest fish in the bag.
 

> I used a 6' 8" M-XF St. Croix Legend Elite spinning rod with a Pflueger Patriarch spinning reel. The line I used was 15-lb Stren Braid with a 20-lb Stren Monofilament leader. The leader was about 6-10" long just to keep the bait from fouling. We used mono to avoid the bait from being pulled down deeper than it needed to be like fluoro would do. The reason we used braid was the keep the action of the bait as crisp and quick as possible.

I bought the top 20 for a walleye trolling bait. It has great action but I have not yet scored well with it. To be fair, I haven't done well trolling deep this year, so perhaps I am just not on the fish.

Back before jerkbaits became a spring favorite, PRADCO introduced Bomber jerkbaits--actually the 15A that was part of a series that was endorsed by both PRADCO and Strike King pros (SK didn't make hardballs at the time).  The 15A was a signature bait of Kevin Van Dam (still have one or two).  Anyway, not knowing any better, I started fishing the 15A as a jerkbait during the summer and did quite well. It didn't surprise me as I also did well with the floating Rapala minnow.  Haven't fished either in quite some time.  It wouldn't surprise me at all to find that they still work now.  

And I'm waiting on an order of the Top 20... I can see it working well on some of the flats in Beaver, and I hope in Truman.

I still have several long a's with kvd's name on them and they will still catch fish !!!!!!!
