Luke Palmer is competing in his sophomore season on the Bassmaster Elite Series. Palmer grew up and lives in Coalgate, Okla., located in the southeast corner of the state.
“During spring the weather here is very unpredictable.” Palmer chose his five favorite things every angler needs during spring when fishing in the Sooner State. Here they are.
Gill FG21 Insulated Tournament Jacket. “Around here, you never know when the forecast calls for rain, sleet or snow. It covers all the bases.”
“It has a two-layer coated fabric that creates an incredibly waterproof and breathable protective shell. And there is 100% polyester insulation throughout.”
Gill UV Tech Hoodie. “Heck, the temperature can swing from 30 degrees to 80 degrees without much warning around here.”
“This tech hoodie is lightweight and provides 50-plus UV sun protection.”
Hot Hands Hand Warmers. “Well, believe it or not, it can snow here in April. I keep this in the boat at all times.”
Booyah Covert Double Colorado Spinnerbait. “It’s the deal for muddy water. I always have one tied on during the spring.”
“The orange blade is the reason why. And the best part about it is the blade is already rigged to the bait. You don’t have to add it, like you do on most spinnerbaits.”
Holy Bible. “You need a Bible every day. Some days during spring in Oklahoma you need it to keep yourself at peace, since there are days when the weather can really mess up a fishing trip.”
