Great Ned head. The titanium weedguards really helped prolong the bait from getting snagged, and did not impede hooksets. The thicker gauge hook helped me muscle smallmouth out from laydown and various cover. Pricey, but worth it.

Bass season in PA opened over the weekend. Fished the first summer tourney of the year out of Sunbury. Had a fun day blasting post spawn smallies up shallow winding a toad. Had some wild blow ups and put enough in the box for some gas money ending up 3rd. Lunker was 4.20 which is pretty impressive for a non goby eating River rat.
