Tournament fishing is unlike any other competitive sport in the world. Period. The number of uncontrolled variables in professional fishing far exceeds the variables found in other sports.

When you go beyond luck to the core of a champion.

Bassmaster Elite Series angler Greg Hackney is definitely one of the latter, and his weapon of choice is the jig. His top trio of Strike King models is composed of the Bitsy Bug Jig, the Tournament Grade Football Head Jig and his self-designed Hack Attack Jig. Covering his bases with baits that offer broad diversity, Hackney said he can hit the road confident that he'll be able to adapt to any geography and whatever the weatherman throws his way.
