What?  You've never heard of a bait bag?  Well if you fish with live worms, and move from spot to spot while you fish, you're going to be glad you read this article.  A bait bag is simply a small bag that hangs off of your fishing vest, belt, or shirt, and carries live worms while fishing.

A big problem for any angler who fishes with live worms is 'short striking' fish.  What do I mean by 'short striking'?  Simply that the fish tends to bite the end or "tail" or your live worm, rather than biting the bait in the area of the hook.  Thus, when you attempt to set the hook, you miss the fish (and many times lose your bait).  The problem seems to be that presenting live worms as bait is all but impossible while using a single hook, unless a large portion of the worm is left "floating free".

            With the extremely large number of fishing reel choices available in today’s market, anglers can have a tough time deciding which reel is the best product for their money. A large percentage of fisherman and fisherwomen would love to have a high quality baitcasting reel with 10 bearings and lightweight design. The problem is most of the reels of this caliber cost more than the average person earns from working a full week. Thanks to the folks at Pflueger, now everyone can own one of the most awesome reels on the market without taking out a personal loan to pay for it.
