GuestJune 15, 2021 at 6:18 amyeah, it’s called “bass thumb”, and it means you’re doing something right.

GuestJune 15, 2021 at 6:18 amHumble brag or honest question?
Yes, it’s normal if you’re lipping a bunch of bass. If you keep it up, eventually that thumb will get tougher and it’ll stop looking like that.

GuestJune 15, 2021 at 6:18 amI’m new to fishing and have been fishing a lot this past week, in turn lipping a number of bass. I’m wondering if this is a normal occurrence and/or if it’s safe ? Also, i’m using a bait caster and thumb the spool when casting , would that have anything to do with it?

GuestJune 15, 2021 at 6:18 amFor the most part it’s safe, it’s only unsafe if it gets too deep and allows for infection if you touch something nasty

GuestJune 15, 2021 at 6:18 amIf you’re putting your thumb in a lot of Larry’s then yes. Those sandpaper teeth will do that. Nice little badge of honor.

GuestJune 15, 2021 at 6:18 amBass thumb! A well seasoned angler has a thumb you could stick on a hot grittle and not get burnt

GuestJune 15, 2021 at 6:18 amWhen you lip them (strong), get their tails out of the water ASAP. That seems to reduce their thrashing quite a bit.
