I'm looking for a reaction strike, and when it happens, it happens quickly. But sometimes the bass isn't hooked on the take, and maybe the lure gets pulled down or wadded up on the hook or part of the lure is even torn off. You can't afford to waste time re-rigging. Instead, you want to be able to get the same bait down there as quickly as possible, and that's why you have the backup rig. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | EUFAULA, Ala. - Part of being a successful professional angler is knowing when to gamble, and just as importantly, when to hold up and make the most of what you have right in front of you. In high-stakes bass tournaments, that decision making ability is every bit as important as superb casting skills. | | | | | | | | | |  | |  | |  |
