Which brings us to one other extremely vital point.
If the lure is damaged in any way, be that a slightly bent hook, a hook point rounded off or a split ring bent from an oversized fish thrashing in the net, the lure will be swapped out and a new one deployed immediately.
There are no second chances and Team Wilson pays extreme attention to lures.
All the damaged lures are fixed up over- night with new rings and hooks fitted where necessary.

Fun game
Team Wilson prides themselves on hav- ing fun and that is a key to success.
If you’re not enjoying your fishing, chanc- es are you will not fish the best you can.
Any time you see Team Wilson on the water, they are laughing and that is a very strong take-home message.
There is no doubt the boys take tournament fishing very seriously, and the work they do before the comp is testament to this, but they do not let this serious edge take away from their desire to have a good time.
