Odessa, TX - Bobby Lane, a seasoned angler with a decorated 17-year career, finally captured a long-awaited national-tour victory in his home state of Florida. At the Major League Fishing (MLF) Bass Pro Tour Suzuki Marine Stage 2 Presented by YETI on the Harris Chain of Lakes, Lane showcased his legendary flipping skills, sealing the win with a commanding 56-pound, 5-ounce total in the Championship Round and a $150,000 payday.
Lane’s success during the event hinged on his ability to make precise, strategic presentations in challenging conditions, and a crucial component of his setup was Epic Baits tungsten weights. Utilizing a 5/16- or 3/8-ounce Epic Tungsten weight paired with a 6-inch Berkley PowerBait MaxScent General, Lane meticulously flipped his bait into key areas of heavy cover. The superior sensitivity and compact profile of Epic Tungsten allowed him to maintain bottom contact and entice bites when other competitors struggled.
“The fish were staging on hard-bottom areas near emergent reeds, and slow presentations were the only way to trigger bites,” Lane explained. “Epic Tungsten gave me the feel I needed to keep my bait in the strike zone, even in tough conditions. When you’re working against the wind and making precise flips, that kind of control makes all the difference.”
Epic Baits Tungsten played a key role in delivering the performance he needed to claim his long-awaited Florida win, proving that when precision matters, Epic Baits Tungsten delivers.
