Lane ready to defend his title
What technique have you started to dial in on since you've been in the Elites?
Chris Lane Fishing @ChrisLaneFish
The drop shot and the jerkbait, due to the fact that we fish a lot of clear water.
Was it a tough transition from a flippin' stick to a drop shot rod?
Chris Lane Fishing @ChrisLaneFish
Yes! There is a monumental difference between the two. From line size, to feel, to the way you land a fish.
What is your favorite setup for throwing a frog, and when is the earliest time of year to start?
Chris Lane Fishing @ChrisLaneFish
Start when the water hits 58 or warmer. 50-pound Stren Sonic Braid on an All-Star Flipping Frog Rod and Revo MGX 7:1
Mostly flipping at the classic? or what cover will you be looking for?
Chris Lane Fishing @ChrisLaneFish
Not planning to flip but if conditions set up to flip, I will be encouraged. I'll be looking at docks & willow trees.
Who would win a wrestling match between you and bobby?
Chris Lane Fishing @ChrisLaneFish
We have tried that a few times, and usually the one who starts it ends up the winner. We've both won and lost!
I fish the rock river, IL. big but no backwaters. fast current Any tips for bigger bites? I catch a lot of shorts.
Chris Lane Fishing @ChrisLaneFish
Try a bigger size bait and maybe go a little deeper.
Chris who would you put on your 5 person Fantasy Fishing team for the Classic?
Chris Lane Fishing @ChrisLaneFish
Jason Christie, Edwin Evers, Mike McClelland, Bobby Lane & the kid from Auburn @wmattlee
Marc Henderson @bassmonkey1975
What's your go to bait? And why
Chris Lane Fishing @ChrisLaneFish
Fast Lane prototype tubes will be hitting the stores soon. I promise you they will catch fish.
Marc Henderson @bassmonkey1975
Cool
Which events this year do you think play better to your strengths and which event do you not look forward to?
Chris Lane Fishing @ChrisLaneFish
I look forward to them all! The ones that will fish to my strengths are the Sabine River, the Alabama River & West Point Lake because I can get into the shallow waters and work hard to catch fish.
Whom do you fear most fishing against you in the same area you find a good fish? Guy that makes you look over your shoulder?
Chris Lane Fishing @ChrisLaneFish
Bobby. We fish so much alike. Knowing he's fished that area, it would hurt me to fish that area.
I thought you might say that. Thats kind of cool and challenging at the same time.
When you're having an "off" day what are some things you do differently to get a bite
Chris Lane Fishing @ChrisLaneFish
Sometimes you just turn around in a circle & then go back to what you were doing & refocus your mental attitude
That's definitely something I've learned from our couch this last year! It plays a big factor . Thanks
You're allowed 3 baits on a lake you've never seen. What would you choose?
Chris Lane Fishing @ChrisLaneFish
A Luck E Strike jerkbait, an RC2 and a couple packs of Fast Lane baits.
If you had to throw one bait during the month of March, what would it be and why?
Chris Lane Fishing @ChrisLaneFish
During March, I would get packs of the new Fast Lane baits because fish are spawning.
Chris Lane Fishing @ChrisLaneFish
If you put the bait near them while they're spawning, you'll catch fish. Slower is better.
Cole Campbell @Cole_Campbell10
Smallmouth or largeheads?
Chris Lane Fishing @ChrisLaneFish
Largeheads! But smallmouth are fun to catch.
