Not sure where you are coming from. About every serious bass fisherman i know has at least one and most 2-3 just for finesse fishing if nothing else.
I don't go to the lake without my 6,6 med/fast. I've caught way to many fish on that thing to ever leave it at home.
if they aren't using one they are missing out on bites in my opinion.
That’s what I’m saying, but there are bass fishermen that absolutely hate them.
