The magazine was designed to offer bass anglers unprecedented access to new fishing tips and techniques, written by anglers themselves, without the hard sell from professional writers and editors pushing product.
I have been fishing all my life and fell in love with bass fishing at about ten years old. My Dad made a make-shift bass boat, I later bought a 16′ Alumnicraft bass boat and then a Procraft 1750 with a 150 HP motor. I even belonged to the Stone Mountain Bassmaster Club and won a tournament at Lake Oconee. I always read my Grandpa’s Field and Stream magazine and started subscribing to Bassmaster Magazine probably sometime in the 1980s.
The weedless worm
My Dad learned to fish Texas rigged plastic worms fishing with his work buddies from Friendly Ford. He showed me what he had learned and soon I was hooked (get it). Simply slip on a lead , brass or Tungsten bullet weight and then tie your hook on using your favorite fishing knot.
