Bassin'

noxpertjim reply :

Here's my vote for Bassmaster and Bassin'. I've only seen a couple issues of FLW at the local WM, and no one around here reads it. Might have to check that one out...

Bassmaster and Bassin

BassBeat101 reply :

Personally, Bassin' has its place as my go to mag for information on fishing itself. It has the most number of articles that fancasts several different topics. BassMaster is good as I enjoy reading about the tourneys and what not, plus I enjoy the day on the water segments. But if I had to pick one subscription, it'd be Bassin'.

I do like to read the Illinois/Missouri Game and Fish publications as well - good local, season info with tips.

Triton_Mike reply :

I literally can not believe the Inside Line got only ONE mention!!! Gary Yamamoto's Inside Line and Bass West are by far my favorites.

I always assumed a magazine by a lure manufacturer would cover methods and patterns relating to its own products, so I've never given Inside Line a look. It's 15 dollars for only six issues. I have some questions for those who are familiar with this mag.

Is it worth the price?

Does it cover subjects other than methods and patterns relating to Gary Yamamoto's products?

Thanks for any info you can provide.

That has been my experience with the magazine. It's like the one that Pure Fishing puts out for their products. It's helpful info but it seems their main objective is to plug their own stuff. But I only have a limited experience with that publication so maybe you should listen to someone who subscribes to it. I used to love In-Fisherman but it really seems to have lost something since Al left. All I read now is Bassmasters.

bubbler reply :

I love bassin and FLW magazine.

these are great

fishbowl807 reply :

I've been tempted to try FLW how is it ?

BASS fisherman reply :

Sam reply :

1. Bassin

2. Bass Times.

3. Bassmaster Magazine.

4. FLW Magazine.

5. In-Fisherman.

jdw174 reply :

JMO of course, but by far the best bass fishing publication comes out once a year....the In-Fisherman all bass issue. Best in-depth articles on techniques related to bass fishing I've ever read. Steve Quinn's writing is great.

Other than that, BassMaster isn't nearly what it once was, but still good. I also get FLW Bass which has some good stuff. I only get Bassin' if I happen to see an issue on the newsstand that I can browse thru first.

hi_steel_basser reply :

In Fisherman is the best all-species read around. For strictly bass, Bassmaster is turning to pure fluff so fast it turns my stomach. I just picked up a copy of Bassin at walmart, and it looks like a very good publication.

Triton_Mike reply :

Tell you what guys pertaining to the Inside Line. Here are a few articles that I have written for them. These are by no means expert articles as there are many other great writers for the INside line that smuck T Mike. To my knowledge only ONE of the articles below has a Yamamoto mention. These are the types of articles you will see in the Inside Line. We have writers from Maine to FLorida to Washington State all walks of life so it's not just a western mag either. I just previews the articles and some are not taking. Go here for the ones with the broken links

:)Bassmaster, I like it more than Bass Times

Ducker_X reply :

Bassmaster

Valascus reply :

I prefer Bassin' over all of them. If I had to choose only that would be the one I would choose. Very little fluff, seemingly fair and unbiased tackle reviews, an good articles concerning technique.

crankbait reply :

Bassmaster and Basstimes....

YJsmitty reply :

So who is going to start the Poll?

Garnet reply :

Bass West but I think they went out of biz.
