Versatility isn't just having every bait and tying on what's supposed to catch fish in that body of water. Like Matt Lee says, "You're probably going to do more casting than catching". There is a process to becoming versatile. You need to build confidence in new baits and techniques. If you've fished a long time, you probably already have confidence baits and techniques, and you should never forget those, because they catch fish. In this bass fishing class seminar video, learn how Matt Lee balances using his confidence baits and choosing the right time to build confidence in new lures or techniques.
