S.S.A.S.- SIGHT, SOUND, ACTION, SMELL
FOR EVERY BAIT THAT HAS CAUGHT A FISH!
SIGHT- UV rays fade colors, keep baits out of sun when not in use.
SOUND & ACTION- Bent hooks alter the sound signature (especially on rattling baits) and action on any bait! Carefully remove hooks by grabbing the shank w/ appropriate pliers.
SMELL- Food, lotions, soap and oils alter the smell signature on baits, have crew and Captain wash hands with lake water only upon boarding!

Fun to see this at Catawba Island Club vintage “Amphicar”, assuming it can hit the water!
