Mar 1 - you are an amateur riding with Kevin Van Dam what do you take

[bassadict69]

Smallest spinnerbaits I can find...With a large tournament & all the fish getting pounded, downsizing may be the key.

[Fishaholic]

Snagless Sally, 1/2 oz. chartreuse with silver blades for working a fast retrieve in snags

[fishing nut]

polarized sunglasses- spot rocks in water maybe even some fish.

[casey3535]

Reel #4 ambassodor 5;2;1 great for a good retrive of small crankbaits

[Fish On]

Fishing Liscense-don't want to be disqualified for no liscense

[TackleTester]

1/2 oz. white rooster tail for early spring bass......They love in-line spinners this time of year

[fishing nut]

Life jacket- dont want to die while fishing.

[Fishaholic]

1 white 5/8 oz. Snagless Sally with gold blades for working stickups fast

[pillman46]

I would bring several different types of plastic worms of various colors and makes.  I would set up either a caroliina rig or a texas rig.

[casey3535]

flw polorized sunglasses, gotta be able to see those bedding fish

[bassadict69]

A high quality pair of polarized sunglasses for spotting fish in the shallows as well as locate some structure just under the surface.

[fishing nut]

hand warmers- could be cold even snow depending upon where it is, keep my hands nice and toasty especially the thumb for baitcasting

[TackleTester]

Excaliber Fat Free Shad 2 3/4 in......1/2 oz........White Pearl color.....get those active fish to strike

[fishing nut]

Beef jerky- Hey you get hungry out there

[Bman]

Rapla huskey jerk in shad,  to catch the prespawn females suspend
                                                                  Bman

[casey3535]

pepto pills because fishing BASS with Van Damm would defiently get me tore up.

[TackleTester]

12 lb AN 40 Line......Silver in color

[fishing nut]

1' bandit foot loose tennesse shad- my favorite color great for bouncing off structure.

[Steve_W]

I would take my 7 in motor oil power worms as a confidence bait and maybe if he stops for a drink I could use them

[Fishaholic]

1 pkg. 7" black culprit worms...for slow presentation weightless

[Fish On]

Blue black 1/2 ou. sometimes a killer in the rocks or at the weeds

[TackleTester]

a Power Bar...Van dam is pretty hard core

[bassadict69]

Some megastrike attractant for a little smell-um-good on my baits.

[Jared LeBlue]

1st rod and reel combo would be my Falcon Carolina Lizzard Dragger teamed up with my Shimano Crestfire reel. THe rod is a heavy action so it would serve multi-purposes. One it would obviously be my carolina rig rod and second it would serve as my Jig and pig rod.

[casey3535]

2 rapala husky jerks clown color, great for active bass prepairing to bed.
