The new selections are part of our greatly enhanced video section designed exclusively to bring readers even more access to a treasure trove of tips and techniques segments.

Video overview

The following description provides an updated synopsis of the inventory that is available right now on FLWOutdoors.com:

* Larry Nixon provides novice anglers with tips on how to rig, cast and retrieve a 4-inch Berkeley Gulp! Power Noodle.

* Shad Schenck demonstrates the proper techniques for casting and boat positioning during windy days.

* Bobby Lane of Lakeland, Fla., used a topwater plug to bring in bass on Beaver Lake. Here he describes two ways to attack schooling fish: with a slow retrieve or a fast one in combination with popping the bait.

* Chad Grigsby of Maple Grove, Minn., gives his three favorite sight-fishing techniques: using a drop-shot rig for more aggressive fish, throwing a tube to bass on deep beds, or fishing with a finesse worm rigged weedless for largemouths or smallies.

* Art Berry of Hemet, Calif., talks about how a healthy mindset is the most important tool an angler can have out on the water. Berry says the best bass anglers stay positive and confident with every cast.
