Science: Bass Fishing – Got Drag?
Bass fishing can be a real drag. I’m not talking “bummer-like” drag – bass fishing is way too cool for that. Nor am I speaking to the drag on your reel. It’s important, it’s a drag, but no cigar. Here’s a hint: The “drag” I am referring to happens to some degree every time you make a [...]
