HOW DO I USE IT?

With a professional fishing career that spans more than five decades, B.A.S.S. legend Rick Clunn has built his brand on innovation, adaptability and a keen understanding of environmental factors influencing fish behavior. No surprise, then, to see Livingston Lures debut the new Rick Clunn Collection during the Bassmaster Classic Outdoor Expo. Eleven new baits are built with Livingston Lures’ proprietary EBS (Electronic Baitfish Sound) Technology, which uses a Smart Chip to emit the recorded sounds of distressed baitfish.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:

With 16 Bassmaster wins, including four Bassmaster Classics, and an Angler of the Year title, Rick Clunn has never been one to wait on success, but he makes an exception for the central aspect of Livingston baits. While promoting his new lineup during the Bassmaster Classic Expo, Clunn said he considers the fact that these baits continue to attract interest even during a pause in the retrieve is the biggest consideration. He calls it “the power of the pause.” Take this from a man widely regarded as one of the game’s most diligent students.
