They call our main guest "The Tin Man."

If John Cox is the Tin Man, who the heck is the Cowardly Lion and who is the Scarecrow? They call Cox the Tin Man because he is one of the very few bass fishing professionals to run an aluminum boat. It must be a good plan because Cox is at the very top of his game. Listen as he tells us how he scored a hundred grand, winning a wire-to-wire victory at the FLW Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit at Sam Rayburn Reservoir in Texas.

Dan Johnston from St. Croix joins us to talk about early spring patterns.

Ken Duke from Fishing Tackle Retailer Magazine is with us to discuss the part that sponsors play in an angler's decision as to which circuit he fishes in.
