Cottonseed meal is the byproduct of ginned cotton, seeds crushed and the oil extracted. It can then be used as animal feed or in organic fertilizer. I found out that catfish liked it too.

It was in the early 70’s that Jim Bagley had the idea to hire crankbait pioneer Lee Sisson to create a shallow running crankbait to compete with Cotton Cordell‘s Big O. In 1973 his Big B wins 3 national tournaments and in November it was renamed the Balsa B.
The balance of the bait was accomplished with lead balls and the lip is referred to as the wedgebill. I’ve caught many bass on this lure. Fishing around the boat docks at Lake Lanier caused damage to many lures due to my miss-casts.
I loved to throw it out, let it rest on top until there was no more ripple, and then start to reel. The majority of my bites would come while it was sitting still or the second I started it moving. One of my favorite crankbaits of all-time.

Yes, we caught 118 fish. A mix of largemouth bass, white bass, hybrid bass and 1 striper. It was 84 degrees, and sunny, and the fishing was slow until the last hour of the day when the schooling went insane.
A nice bass I caught at Miller’s Lake in Alpharetta, May 28, 2012
Tim and I took his mother fishing at Miller’s Lake in May of 2012.
Tim caught a nice bass too!
