When my wife notices the small, square foil wrapper on my desk, she regards me with a coolly level gaze.
“I can explain,” I tell her. And I do, but she remains skeptical. After all, it’s not the kind of wrapper she’s used to seeing when I’m conducting research for this column. She becomes even more skeptical when I tell her I need it to start a fire.
I am not sure if this would make a difference but it was stated that more water was needed to make the beam of light more concentrate to be effective... to the point where the condom was about to break. I wonder if the Magnum/XL condoms would of made the difference?
Bass tournament pro Alton Jones won the 2008 Bassmaster Classic with jigs, but the Texas angler is equally skilled at using spinnerbaits. At this time of year, he carries more spinnerbaits than jigs in his tackle box because they may be the most versatile bass lures of spring and early summer. Here are three tactics and modifications that the champ relies on to get the most out of a spinnerbait.
Don't throw away your Christmas tree at the end of the holidays. Drag it onto the ice along with some hardwood limbs broken off during winter storms. This brushpile will sink in the spring, providing gamefish with cover and forage, and you with a secret honey hole.
Never drop hardwood limbs that still have their leaves, which collect silt the way a Hoover collects dust. And cut branches from your Christmas tree to supply gamefish with holes to hide in.
Never heard, seen, or even thought of this but it is a nice way to recycle what would end up at the dump. It makes logical sense so I could deffinantly understand it being a place for fish to hide out. Also, if you are the only one doing it, it allows for some secret honey holes.... Brilliant! You could probably get a whole slew of christmas trees for this considering the number put out at the edge of the driveway after Christmas.

Vary the Retrieve
Thanks for the great tips, I am more of a crankbait and soft plastic kind of guy but I'll have to try these tips when I pull out the spinner bait.
