              It's been said that necessity is the mother of invention.  If this is true, then simplicity must be the father!  Bass anglers are taking note.
            Give a bucketmouth fanatic a baitfish-colored, noisy crankbait with holographic eyes and neutral buoyancy, and that angler will chuck and wind only for as long as the lure is producing.
            Give the same angler a bobber, some split shot, hooks and jigs, and suddenly the possibilities are endless.
In a sport that's been turned upside-down and inside-out in the ongoing search for new baits, techniques and presentations, the word "revolutionary" has become passé in bass fishing circles.
Instead, many top anglers are getting back to the basics, and they are the ones who are consistently kicking bass and taking names.
“What I’m seeing today are a couple of things that are new, but a couple of things that aren’t new, too,” says Chip Leer, television host for the Minnesota Pro-Am Bass Tour and on of the renowned members of the prestigious Leech Lake Guide Coalition.
“In my opinion, there is nothing new that is really revolutionizing the sport. There will be a lot written about the new stretchable plastics and a few things like that, but it’s more about refinements to old techniques to make them more effective than they’ve been in the past.”
