3 Deadly Weapons for a Bass Ninja
Early-season offers one of the most exciting types of bass fishing of the year—sightfishing! Catching shallow fish that are already on the alert for trouble requires stalking. It requires stealth. It requires accuracy. In short, you gotta be a bass ninja!
To help you out, we've found some gear that can help tilt the scales in your favor! |

 Superhero Vision
High-quality polarized specs are at the top of every bass pro's don't-leave-home-without-it list. Take it from Dave Wolak. Our recommendation: Shades with side shields are a must. Copper and amber lenses provide the greatest contrast. |

 Pole Position
It's shallow, fish are spooky and the salad's thick. You trim the motor. Now what? Ever consider a pushpole? The Superstick allows you to hunt for fish quietly. It telescopes from six to 12 feet (so you don't need a poling platform) and accepts attachments for use as a gig, boat hook, scrub brush, gaff, fish tagger, landing net, squeegee, or paddle!
