Back in Medieval times, a tournament "ride" was a powerful steed and competitors jousted each other out of the saddle with long lances. A modern day tournament "beast" is a boat that harnesses 150 to 250 powerful horses and long rods are still used to try to bump each other out of the winner's circle. The coveted title of "Yamamoto World Champions" will be earned by one of the top angler teams from across the country when they do tournament battle this weekend on Beaver Lake in Rogers, Arkansas. The Yamamoto World Championship event starts Thursday evening Nov. 6 with a banquet. The two-day tournament is Friday Nov. 7 and Saturday Nov. 8. The award ceremony and crowning of the "Yamamoto World Champions" will take place following Saturday's final weigh-in. Stop by Beaver Lake to meet Internet fishing celebrity, Russ Bassdozer, meet the top Yamamoto Open team anglers from across the country, and congratulate the winning "Yamamoto World Champions" at Rogers, Arkansas this weekend!

Not only has it proven to be a regional favorite on the clear waters of Southern California for which it was originally developed, but Senko fans across the country have proven oxblood excels everywhere for them.

Double it up! That's what we've done with Yamamoto Craws and Lizards. For your fishing success, crawdads and lizards (3 series and 13 series) now come in these two-tone laminate colors: 900 - Black back / red belly (red shad) 901 - Watermelon back / white belly 904 - Black back / blue belly 919 - Green pumpkin with black flake back / lemon belly Most things bass eat are not monotones but have two tones. Most all life sports primary darker colors on their backs and secondary paler colors underneath. The correct term for this is countershading, characterized by darker coloring of areas exposed to light and lighter coloring of areas that are normally shaded. When it comes to countershaded fishing lures, most anglers intuitively go for white or pale bellies in lures that imitate baitfish. Yet the color scheme does not stop at baitfish. Most aquatic crustaceans, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals have white or pale undersides, including craws and lizards. Look at the back of your own hand. It's darker than your palm. The leaves of most trees, bushes or flowers are darker on their top side than underneath the leaf. This is Nature's universal theme for most flora and fauna - darker back, lighter underside. In other words, it's truly a laminate-colored world outdoors - and underwater. Not only baitfish, but most everything a bass eats is naturally laminated. It's the color scheme to entice them with Yamamoto's laminated craws and lizards now too. "All our laminates work swell," says Russ Bassdozer. What more can you say about the bass appeal of a black/red craw or black/blue lizard? Yet brand new color 919 (green pumpkin back / lemon belly), designed exclusively for the craws and lizards, has proven to be the hottest of the hot for me lately.
