Even folks who have only fished once during their lifetime (they do exist, believe it or not) will quickly tell you that fish live in precarious places. Thick weeds, standing timber and heaped rock – Mother Nature has put all of it in place over the centuries. All it takes is just a few casts and any angler will soon conclude: inferior tackle just won’t cut it.
Now add menacing manmade cover to the mix, such as bulky brush piles held tight to a waterway’s floor by cement blocks, colossal slabs of concrete rip-rap along a steep shoreline, and even immense entanglements of iron strewn...
