Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group) 2024
Master Bait'r reply :
Kind of surprised we don't have one of these already and figured it would be nice to have a place to vent some stoke on our latest purchases.
The bait monkey ninja totally snuck up on me this morning... I wasn't even looking to buy anything I was just cruising the interwebs and WHAM! I awoke from a euphoric stupor to see a Megabass X-Dad crankbait in Uchida Craw my shipping queue at a great price. THE JDM BAIT MONKEY NINJA STRIKES AGAIN!
ooooh nooooooes hahaha

I just fished the BCB National Championship up in north Arkansas. Bought about $500 worth of baits to use up there...tubes, wiggle warts, drop shot, finesse jigs, Lucky Craft cranks in ghost wtml craw, bone colored sammys, and piles of jerkbaits! Finished up in 2nd place and caught most fish on a shad rap and a spook

I'm in full on ski season mode though, which costs me way more than the fishing season... Complete impulse buy- or should I say surprise attack?
Luckily I've prefaced lures from japan showing up in those funny envelopes as "stuff I bought months ago- sometimes it takes weeks or months to show up babe!"... So as long as I stay JDM and pepper it lightly I'm good to go

I fished with my Tatula last Thursday and it never got above 27* with a wind chill of 23* and 20mph winds (the day started out with single digit wind chills). Anyhow the Twing guide froze up and the line was only able to go through the right side of it causing the line to bunch up on one side of the spool. :-/

My concern with those hooks is the hook doesn't have a wide gap for tall bodied soft plastics, i.e. swimbaits, im worried it hinder hookups
The Eagle Claw Lazer Weighted Swimbait 60 Degree Hook has a much wider gap, won't the hookup and rigging be much better with that wide gap?

need some opinions on that swimbait hook
I like to use the EWG Mustads with the sliding weight or Owner Beastlocks. Lately I have been riggging swimbaits on some swim jig heads I ordered from Siebert and when the hook is up it almost acts as a fin and is surprisingly weedless, adds nice colors to match or contrast, an eye, and a 1/4 ounce jig head with a swim senko may just work too good at times. The Yamamoto website has some good ideas on how to rig swimbaits. You can also use a weighted EWG hook for your Rage Tail Craws, Bugs, and for the Rage rig..I love a sliding weight, but you can always crimp a small split shot, or D.O.A. makes pinch weights you can crimp on...I use Nail Weights alot of times and then go with a regular EWG hook, but if on a budget, the VMC weighted hooks are good as well imo....Also try the Swimming Hornet Jigheads as Underspins are awesome at times, especially when fish are suspended...TW has an awesome selection under technique specific and swimbaits...Hope that gives you some ideas...That order is way too small. How can you not get onto the Hardbait pages and just lose your mind....Try the Owner lures on sale for $5.99 if they have any left of that square bill, thing is pretty good, paint can't chip, owner hooks pretty sharp...Heck of a deal, I have not tried the topwaters but they look good.

I look under technique specific and for swiimbaits, make sure you try the swimming hornet or any underspin as they are great with any swimbait, fluke etc..especially good in colder weather, tough bites, suspended fish, and pretty weedless. I also like to use a swimbait jighead and the open hook not only improves hoookups over grass, but acts like a fin to keep it balanced, and gives bait contrast, color, and you can fish it like a trap and rip it out for strikes.
I usually Buy regular EWG hooks and use D..O.A. pinch weights on the shank if weight is needed, mustad makes a sliding weight, and Owner beastlocks are fantastic hooks. Nail weights are good in swimbaits as well if you don't want a weighted hook. Just my 2 cents but I got crushed on TW last order with all the underspins, Jigheads, and I just love the topwater selection, and scored with the Owner Lures on sale for $6....Awesome concept, have not fished them yet, but they look great in the box, and that is important as well.

Thanks for the suggestions! I think i'll go with the Owner Beastlocks, i like that design and it looks good for swimbaits, craws and all types of plastics..

They are a guilty pleasure of mine. Even though I have "better" rods, I find myself using these all the time, even though I claim they are my "backup/loaner rods". IDK what it is about them.

The latest bait monkey attack resulted in two separate tw orders plus one from a local shop for some shellcracker G2s. I told myself I'd just do a small order which basically means I had to do a follow up order for the stuff I "forgot" haha. The bait monkey has no mercy.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a 6' Amp medium spinning rod with a supreme XT and some 4# line on it for the little guy. Perfect beater rod- cheap, tough, the one pieces have a pretty decent action and backbone. Certainly no complaints for the $!

My recent bait monkey binge was on a couple of second-hand reels, one a BPS Carbonlite and the other a Daiwa TD-X. I'm going to wait until the fishing exhibition shows that are coming up in February and March to see what other damage I can inflict on my wallet... Then there's also the trip to Japan that my wife is taking, I might place an order for her to bring back with me...

Yep, been doing it for over 10 years now. The bait monkey is bad enough when you have to pick from stock colors. Once you get to create your own combinations it gets that much worse! It's fun to do though and after a lot of trial and error you end up with some real winners

Yeah I can totally sympathize- I just got bitten hard by a similar monkey- I have a ton of really nice airbrushing stuff- pumps, guns, hoses, tables, clamps, paints out the wazoo, texture kits, etc. etc. etc. sitting around from a past hobby and just pulled it out of mothballs to restart my love for intricate paint and foil techniques. I just ordered a 10 lot of some of my favorite crank blanks, a bunch of custom feathered trebles and I'm having a go at some of my favorite looks myself. I figured it'll help me get through the wintertime while my fishing stoke is still high but I'm still months away from making a cast.
Pretty excited to get back on it to be honest... I love making things myself- every detail is yours to control.

HoosierHawgs reply :
A bunch of Hart Tackle Jigs and spinnerbaits. They are my new favorites now over Booyah. I still like the Booyah, but the Hart Tackle baits have better Blades IMO. The Jigs were a good price and came w/a chunk trailer. I will be using them mostly for flipping shallow cover, but I will also ad a swimbait trailer to one and swim it when their is a good bluegill pattern developed. This year I have bought much more than I have in the past including 4 reels, 4 rods, numerous crankbaits, soft plastics, and topwater lures, and my dad has bought quite a bit as well. We have also fished this season more than we ever have before, instead of shooting as much on weekends, partially due to 22 shortages still having effects. We plan on fishing much more next season, and I still have about 20 baits I am looking to purchase, as well as 2 more rods, 2 reels, and a fishing Kayak. The good thing is I have plenty of time in the spring/summer/fall to play with my new toys. Most of my time suck comes in the winter, so I am one of the few who "uses everything in the tackle box".

I know exactly what you mean, I have this thing with jigs, I just can't stop buying them even though I have WAY to many already. Case in point I went by the shop last Fri to just "look around" and picked up two more. Also picked up a little terminal tackle for some finesse fishing and the bait I'm really looking forward to fishing the new Jackall plug.

I ordered some Maxima Ultra Green mono in 5 pound test (for finesse bass fishing) and 1 pound test for my brother for pan fishing. I see a lot of talk about people moving down to six pound test for bass (I use six pound Sufix mono for bass) but haven't tried anything lighter than six pound mono. So instead of dropping down to four pound I thought it would be fun to get some Maxima Ultra Green in five pound and try it out (next spring).

My order from Maxima came today. A big box for only two spools of line. lol. They did send me a free hat though (I think because they shipped it over Thanksgiving weekend). Anyway, I'll be trying this five pound Maxima line for bass fishing in the spring of 2015 and see how strong it is.
Also got a bunch of stuff from my Bass Pro Shops in the mail a few days ago. I mostly wanted some mojo weights so I can do some Mojo rigging. They had them so I ordered two packs. Plus some screw in weights and worm rattles. Also got 7 1/8" Stick-O's that I can't wait to try out spring 2015. One pack of Culprit ribon tail worms in grape shad. Funny thing - I see Culprit for sale at the local Walmart stores around here but all the colors are odd colors and nothing basic like Watermelon or Grape. So I bought these in Grape Shad.
Also received some V&M Wild Lizzie lizards and finally some Gene Larew Tattle Tail worms.

What size did you get, I am planning on getting one before Spring and am split between it and the Sustain. I just don't think the Sustain is worth the extra $100. The + seems like a huge improvement over the previous ci4.

5fishlimit reply :
The bait monkey found its way into my wallet this week on a few occasions.
- Monday was 5 of the Crucial rods at Dick's for $42.
- Then on Tuesday I had to place an order at TW for some items like Tatsu line, Jackall Binsky, and 3 Boze Sumo frogs. When I saw the site the next day the Boze frogs we marked down to $1.98. They kindly provided me a rebate in the form of a gift certificate. That got spent the following day for 15 packs of Wave Tiki worms, 3 of the War Eagle Twin arm spinnerbaits, 2 spools of Sunline Super Natural 14# line, and 4 more of the Boze Sumo frogs.
Now, I can officially start saving money towards some reels - Daiwa SS SV, or some of the PXL-R's that on on sale.
The bait monkey can leave me alone for a while.
Brnnoser6983 reply :
The question is to give in to the bait monkey and order my BBZ1 Rat from TW which will lead to additional purchases of tackle I "need". I already have way too much. (Side thought, a form post of your tackle?) I actually would like to see that post and seeing if anyone else is a tackle hoarder.

You obviously don't have too much tackle since you don't have that BBZ 1 ratio, yet.

Got cut off twice this week using my favorite spoon, Luhr Jenson cast champ 37 grams, ordered 4 of them a couple of days ago for $2.99. My freshwater fishing has consisted of using only top water and jerkbaits, bought a few.

I just made an order yesterday and they sent an email saying that they will make 2 shipments because of backorders. So I assumed they were doing two different orders on mine too. Who knows.
Brnnoser6983 reply :
Yeah for the email. Main shipment goes out today. The rest goes in one order when the rest is available.
Or you can pay to have individual shipments made

Gundog reply :
Stopped by the local bait and tackle-Wacky Worm. They don't have much of a internet presence but they are loaded with baits. Picked up a nice 3/4 flat head brush jig, some neko sinkers, a pack of Power Team jig craws and 1/16 weighted hooks for wacky rigging senkos. I'm really interested in trying the neko rig on my plastics to see if that technique works.

Good to know. I have my big fish/ Heavy lure set up picked out. And I think by bass opener (May) I should be able to get the setup and one of these Lucky's.
What I have planed to but is the
Abu Garcia REVO Toro NaCl Generation 3 Casting Reel with the Abu Garcia Volatile Casting Rods in 8' MH (For lures 1/2 to 3oz)
If I have to step down I will on the reel and get the Revo Winch

That was one of the items last year I seem and was eyeing. I got it thought this year during the black Friday sale. I was surprised. I only got a couple things from the black 25 days sale. Everything else was something that was referred to me or something I have always wanted to try.

On the nice side I got the mad dog shell cracker g2? So I have to try it out..
Also got 2 Spro BBZ's coming in 6 in... and I can say this is the first time spending $20 Per or more on a bass lure! I don't even drop $20 for a musky lure.
But does anyone own these two in particular and care to share there insight on the lures.
The bbzs will flat out catch fish. People don't like them because apparently there is a problem with using a bait that costs less than $50 and isn't hard to find. But I like them, and I don't feel like I'm going to have a heart attack when I let them sink out of view to fish them a little deeper. My friend has a g2 and it gets bit. It wakes very well even at a slow crawl, and it can be used as a squarebill, but it won't dive deeper than 1-2'. The main reason I don't have one is because I held out for a hardgill and since I have that I don't feel a need for the g2.

Bankbeater reply :
I fell off of the wagon last week. Bought a new 370 size tackle bag, 10 new boxes for it, bag of Fat Alberts, and a mid range diving crankbait. Then I picked up my reels from being cleaned and while I was there I bought about 20 small inline spinners for crappie and trout.
Master Bait'r reply :
It's all in the long-term planning and perception.
Allow me to explain: Tatsu is on sale right now for 40% off. Also, if I spend $50 I get free shipping. I can't afford to not get the line and a sexy swimbait to bump it over $50, otherwise if it goes off sale and I don't get the other gear, I'd pay the extra $7 for shipping AND the other 40% of the price of the line. It's almost like getting a nice bait that I was going to buy anyways for almost free. Almost.
I didn't know having the bait monkey as my accountant would be so useful! When he says "wise allocation" or "timely investment" like that, it makes it so much easier to say yes.

Abu Garcia vendetta 7'6" MH fast-to match with reel
About $160 worth of jigs and trailers(strike king and booyah mostly)
A handful of booyah spinnerbaits
Some more braid
Reel grips
Now my mind is wandering as I want a setup for drop shots so may order all that aswell... Rod and reel, hooks, weights, lures, line or as I call it "the works"

That is what I am pondering. I have a bunch of drop shot gear picked out, but I went to the local tackle shop this morning, and picked it a bunch of tackle making gear.

Yes I know, seeing all the gear and most under retail price you could def get yourself introuble. Good thing I have a good job and no wife. Then I'd be buying her shoes instead of me fishing gear.

The local tackle shop is my big weakness as well, I buy all this stuff online but then find myself walking around in the store buying stuff too. Its because there you buy it and have instant satisfaction, where online orders you have to wait for it to be shipped.On 1/13/2015 at 8:55 AM, Brnnoser6983 said:That is what I am pondering.

What saves me is there arent any major fishing stores here in Jersey. Most tackle shops are geared towards saltwater, leaving freshwater gear off their shelf's.

I think I have it good. I have a wife that doesn't have a shoe fetish, shopping problem. All she ask for is to get her hair done twice a year.
She tolerates my fishing addiction, and lets me shop for gear as needed. However, she doesn't know about my fishing fund account yet and her tolerance could go out the window with that knowledge.

First time I ordered from them. I just received them, and haven't fished hair jigs before, but there customer service is great. I'll give you the story, I ordered these in the First and received confirmation that they were sent on the second. A week later nothing, sent an e mrdail he got back to me the next day saying the shipment was returned to them because the label was torn. He tells me don't worry about it I'll send it 2 day service and throw in something extra. Get the package 2 days later with an extra bag of 3 hair jigs. I call that great cs. They are in the pick with No Charge written on the label. I'll pm you the web site. Actually travis23 on here turned me on to the web site, when I was looking into hair jigs for small mouth. They look pretty good. I ended up ordering buck tail jigs and a couple of Maribou jigs.

They're a glide bait like the River 2 Sea S Waver but they are just a much more refined bait all around. They have kind of a soft skin over the bait so they have a much more natural feel to them. They're also way more expensive than baits like the R2S, if you can find one under $100 you did really good.

On a serious note they are a top jig and jig company for me. The colors and quality are two of the main reasons without going into too much detail. I don't really lose them anymore than jigs from other manufactures. If they ever get the hippy jigs in stock again I am buying at least 50.
adam lancia reply :
I recently picked up a nice used Saros 3000F and a new Symetre 2500FL. Then I got wind of a local rod manufacturer going out of business and decided to take advantage of the situation. I picked up a drop shot spinning rod, 5 7' medium spinning rods, a 6'6" light spinning rod for inline spinners, and another 6'6" medium spinning rod. I expanded and replaced all of my cheaper rods with these. I also picked up a couple of casting rods, a 6'10" medium for jigs (which fishes like a MH I'm told) and a 6'6" medium for jerkbaits. My wife asked me what we were going to do with all those rods and I told her, "go fishing more!" She said, ok :-) I also picked up a few shaky heads (spot removers and owner stand ups). This has been such an expensive winter so far and I still have 2 reels that I am on the hunt for. Realistically though, I might not even need to purchase anything until mid summer unless something goes catastrophically wrong with some of the new equipment.
But I do recall seeing bulk packs of senkos on that auction site, plus I just bought a rod for jerkbaits and I don't have many of those... Oh please, let there be a bunch of jerkbaits on sale when BPS has their sale in February!

I received my Jelly Worms from Amazon. The Tequila Green and Pumpkinseed Chartreuse are fine. The 100 pack of Scuppernong are not. They are not brown they are dull red and they are hard. A lot harder than Jelly Worms are suppose to be . They are unusable. Im glad they were only three dollars. Lesson learned. I guess I could boil them to soften them up but I think Ill just throw them away. I dont know how they got so hard . I have thirty year old jelly Worms that are still as soft as the day I bought them.
On the bright side the sanrenmu 7010 pocket knife I also ordered is amazing for an 11 dollar knife .

I noticed in the store that two of them had Skeets signature on them, but I didn't think anything of it. Once I got home, I looked over the baits and noticed that there were a few different ways that the signatures were ever so slightly different. This makes me believe that they're actually autographed, and not just something printed on there at the LC factory. What do you all think?

Weld's,
If you are buying the 4.8 fat impacts to use a swim jig trailer for the dirty jigs swim jigs I would suggest the 3.8. Lots of tail grabs and swipes at the 4.8 by fish not taking the bait. I use the 4.8 on the beefed up flip and swim style heads vs the thinner and smaller profile bullet or northern style heads. Just a suggestion from my own findings...

I picked some new duds to fish in. I got a shirt from howler brothers and a pair of kuhl convertible pants. I tried them on and my wife said I don't dress this nice when we go out to dinner, the fish we be impressed.

Also maybe the dirty jigs swimjig rather than the dirty jigs california swimjig...? The regular one has a beefy 5/o hook so..
kickerfish1 reply :
That is how my thinking is when considering swim jig trailers. The Dirty Jigs California style swim jigs can support a 3.8 or 4.8 fat swing impact. They have stout and bigger hooks, more skirt material, and a bigger profile.
The more slender, thinner skirted, and smaller hooked bullet or finesse style swimjigs I prefer smaller trailers on. Really like the Keitech swimg impact in the 3.5 inch size. Male perch or pro staff special would be matches for the jig on your mock order.
My general philosophy with Keitech baits as trailers...
3.5 Swing impact - For finesse bullet head style swim jigs
4.8 fat impact- California style or flip and swim style heads
3.8 fat impact - Can be used on any style of swim jig great compromise between the two above
Just my thoughts. Your findings may vary...

Went to DSG, and bought these. The Arashi's were marked down to $6.97, then got %50 off on top of that. So I got them for $3.48 a piece. The Sebile's were marked down to $5.97, then %50 off on top of that. So I got them for $2.98. Grabbed the Keitech plastics cause they were $3.23 for the pack, and the only color that was usable or I have success with was the Black/ Blue flake, and that was the only one in the clearance bin. For that price I have no problem trying them out and seeing what the hubub is all about, and the Stanley spinner I got for $2.23. So all in all with the $10 coupon $42. I did buy some other non fishing stuff also, but I saved a total of $67. I call that a win win for me.

hawgenvy reply :
I've only been bass fishing intensively for about a year, but I seem for some very strange reason to have accumulated many boxes full of plastic creatures, swimbaits, senkos, ribbon tail worms, frogs, toads, flukes, crankbaits, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, spooks, poppers, and propellered torpedos. I use the senkos and soft swimbaits mostly; the other stuff patiently waits its turn. I have enough rods: M, MH, H, in both casting and spinning setups, braid on some, fluoro on others, mono on one of the spinning reels.
I keep telling my wife, don't worry, I finally have enough stuff. No more boxes from TW on the doorstep. But, you know, I certainly MUST learn to use a JIG better: "...the most versatile big bass bait. No tackle box should be without a selection of jigs." So, I ordered a dozen assorted jigs with bags of matching trailers and got 'em in just last night. Today I tossed two different craw-trailored brown and green jigs fifty times with no bites. I wanted so badly to tie on a T-rigged senko or cast a swimbait. I started to sweat, to shake, but I persevered, resisted the urge. Kept with the jigs. Changed colors, changed trailors, but kept with the jigs. Finally skipped one under a low bridge and nailed a powerful 5-6 pounder that unfortunately popped off just before I could grab her. Okay, jigs probably could work pretty well. Though the first batch of them cost me over $60 bucks. (Naturally you have to order $50 or more for free shipping, but then you'll surely want to pay extra for second-day shipping).
Now I'm thinking about a dedicated jig rod, heavy/fast, about 7'3" and superbly sensitive and paired with a nice, fast, strong, light baitcaster reel spooled with #15 fluoro. I know my wife will be ticked off, we can't afford this stuff. But you GUYS understand, right! I NEED a jig rod, right? Whoa! Whoa, what was that? A determined little sharp toothed monkey just zipped across my bedroom! The monkey's going to bite me hard, again -- soon; I just know it! Hmmm, you know, just maybe I have a problem...

Decently strong. They are designed to be lightwired though. So it bends a little after 10 or so fish depending on how you fight them but it still runs true and u can bend it back.On 2/5/2015 at 5:54 AM, Brnnoser6983 said:My mistake. Still never fished that before either. How are they, strong wire?
Used to be my #1 spinnerbait until i bought a war eagle screamin eagle.. Which actually is getting bent up and the booyah is still good to use so ill probably be back to using it.

Me “question shouldn’t be what am I getting you. You are getting a bouquet of roses, your hair done, and a day at the spa. The question is what are you getting me?”
Bam!! My new musky reel is going to ordered next week, and trying to decide between a St. Croix 7” H (2-6oz) custom musky rod, or 8” Abu Garcia Volatile H (3/8 – 4oz) rod..
The Abu will matches in color, but the St. Croix I can custom… Anniversaries should be every month if I get my way like this!

I have a sneaky suspicion you're going to enjoy that reel regardless of which rod you pair it with!
I picked up a few more jerkbaits (2 Storm Twitchin' Sticks, 1 GYCB and a Strike King) plus a bag of green pumpkin super flukes and a bag of watermelon chartreuse trick worms, plus some 30# Super 8 Slick for the PX68L I have coming from Japan. I also lucked into an Ito Shiner, an RC STX, a McStick, and 5 Rapala Xraps on the boards for a song. The stinking spring better get here fast or I'm going to need some more tackle organizers and another bag and then my wife will really be asking me if all of this is necessary.

The go pro is a hyped up camera because of its publicity.. It's over priced at $200 and the sony as20 has the same feature and more. It has its own stabilization technology which the gopro lacks which provides smoother footage and eliminates shakiness. Sony is also known for its crisp, clean image quality and this camera stands true to that.
If this is your first action cam dont blow $200 on a camera that performs like a $80-$100 camera.

I have seen if you look at the edges of the screen o of the 170° view the Sony gets blurry, but they perform better on the move as you said.
I'm not 100% sold on a Gopro. If I find a decent priced AS20 I would get it.
Has the AS20 improved the mounting options, and improved the case for better audio?

Thanks for mentioning the Sony. I was looking to buy a can to mount on my yak for this season. $128 and it comes with everything. Does the waterproof case have a 1/4-20 mount on the bottom? Only negative I see is when facing forward you can't see the screen and know if it's aimed properly.

The audio pickup, compared to my gopro hero (1), is significantly better.. i do not know if the new gopro has fixed it audio, i'm sure it has though. The AS20 has similar mounting options to the gopro, I actually made a custom mount based off of this video: He is using the AS15 in the video
I use the 120 degree view, the 170 is just too distorted even in the gopro, which is why i also went with the sony because of its 120 degree angle. The 170 degree view with the sony doesn't support its Steady Shot technology but the 120 does. The 170 is overkill it just looks unreal, its not POV.

No problem. The waterproof case is a 1/4-20 mount. The screen does not present an image of what the camera is seeing, generally by using your own judgment of aiming the camera it should capture what you need with that 120 degree angle. Take a few test shots at home so you can get used to it.

No doubt. I'll figure it out. Probably use a head mount anyhow but my yak already has a RAM mount with 1/4-20 attachment on it. To be clear it's the case pictured that comes with the cam?

if you want to build the mount that the video shows, for a lighter camera w/o case, you need this part: http://www.amazon.com/Adjustable-Tripod-camera-Holder-Cellphone/dp/B0042J6VUS/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1423613907&sr=8-8&keywords=cell+phone+tripod
this is the second part to that video, this one shows how to actually build the mount.

Just the ease and skippability of the spin, and the sexiness of those Envys... I already have the reel and if I sold the Green Machine I could get the *** and have plenty left over to go back into savings. It seems to make sense in my head. Am I taking crazy pills?? WWYD?

I can't wait to. The fit & finish as well as colors look great and the segmentation should make them nice and finessey. I got the 4" and after fondling had to get the 5.5". They feel like they'll do exactly what I'm looking for on that end of things.

I'd get the 7.5" one I live in NY so i know how you feel about throwing big baits here in the northeast but trust me... they work, and pull in some lunker bass along with small ones too.

fisherrw reply :
Yea there's jusr no way.
Coonedawg reply :
Plum to answer your question... most everything I purchased was close to 90% off. The line was ringing up for under $2 per spool. The cranks $1.74 Each. The sinkers and jigs were under $1 each. The swimbaits were under $2. I left Dick's spending under $100. The crappie jigs on the far left came from Academy and we're clearanced out also. If you'll learn when your local stores reset their planograms each year.....you can real mop up on sales. Anymore questions homie?
rippin-lips reply :
Yeah,why on earth do you need that much Stren?
Coonedawg reply :
Would you pass up on a deal like that on braided line?
rippin-lips reply :
I was more refering to the mono and not the braid. I did kinda the same thing once on Stren fluorocast. Bought 4 spools for $2ea but it turned out not to be good line. At least for me anyhow. I think it's hard to make bad braid though.
Coonedawg reply :
I've never used the Stren braid before, but I figured for the price it was worth a shot. The mono on the other hand will all go on some pond set ups for bream & catfish. I help out each year with a fishing rodeo that introduces kids to fishing and that line will work out well for those kids set ups.

Mine just laughs when I start to rattle off my "logic" in the latest purchase. None of it makes sense to her so I might as well be speaking in Dutch while I explain why I need X, Y or Z. I use my overexuberance for tackle as a buffer zone more or less nowadays though. Now I think she just hopes I spare her the two hour long stoke dump on why I prefer recoil guides and showing her which swimbait has which sink rate, hook setup, paint, features etc. Nowadays I think she's more of an innocent bystander just trying to mind her own business rather than actual witness to my gear crimes lol.

I have not purchased 1 durn thing in a month. However, I have an 18 day fishing trip to Guntersville (14 on the water) coming up in just 29 short days. I guess, I will have to push the "order" button on a few ( Ya, lots) of stuff I have in the quay. Why do we keep subjecting ourselves to this idiotic panic that "we don't have the right size or color" from a primate that consumes us????? Because we allow him to. He has a room in my man cave and uses my bathroom. My wife has seen him in there showering. She tells me that he looks just like me. Could it be that perhaps That the "baitchimp" is really me? Do I really just allow my credit card to be subjected to universal violence? Heck, "all I really ever wanted to do is go fishing". or maybe, " all I ever really wanted to do was go fishing" That has been on my man cave wall for 20+ years and I'm not giving a clue to how I feel about the phrases but would sure like to hear from you. If you don't keep tropical fruit in the house, the bait chimp will probably go away after he has eaten all of your credit cards.

Two days, two reels, two killer deals. My quiver is completely set now. Rippin-lips that Zonda is SICK. Favorite finesse reel right there- wish I could afford one, and my Ito Alphas Ai was literally my "close enough" grab. Zondas are just other-level sexy.

I wouldn't exactly call the 68 a finesse reel. The spool holds 120 yards of line. It was this or the ss sv. Same price so why not,right.

Whoa! That looks REALLY nice, man. Sweet combo! Borderline distractingly beautiful haha
I got two reels in the mail last night. The Ito Ai I immediately took apart and cleaned/re-lubed as it had some grime in the cracks, then polished the frame with Never-Dull/microfiber cloth for over an hour and stuck 'er on the 852 to see how it balanced. It's like they were made for each other! Incredibly light for sure, palms perfectly into my hand and looks awesome too. I can't wait to spool it up and put it to use!
No sooner had I put that combo in the rack then the doorbell rings- it's the mailman with the Curado 200i AND my flash carp slide swimmer. STOKED AGAIN. Opened 'er up and freespooled it to the sound of a metal ticking- OH NO! Pulled it apart, gave it a full clean and proper re-lube, reassembled it and it's smooth as a baby's bottom now. Put it on the 705cb champ and called it a day. I had sweet dreams last night to say the least.

Nice, the sort of chameleon like blank and reel seat are pretty nice. The rods is very blinged out for the price. Balance is great and the components are solid.
If you are Shimano guy the Scorpion will match it very well with its maroon like color. A Curado E series isnt bad either.

I really did resist for a while but when I added a little more Turkey to my glass, I caved, I folded , I succumbed, I surrendered to the evil primate. 8x9= $72 plus shipping. From now on, I'm not drinking Wild Turkey. It causes me to do bad things. I'm switching to Knob Creek.

Stopped by Walmart today. The last thing I expected to see was the Bait Monkey but there he was. Wearing a blue vest with a name tag the read "CHIP". He pointed me to a cart in the middle of the aisle marked "clearance". Inside the cart were assorted items for hunting and fishing. As I rooted around I found what the Bait Monkey was pointing at. Senkos plus a pack of 5/0 widegap hooks all for a dollar each. I was like a dog that hadn't eaten in a week. If someone would have tried to pull that cart away from me I would have bitten them. Sometimes the Bait Monkey knows what hes doing.

Was visiting a relative in Grover Beach, CA which is minutes away from the Tackle Warehouse headquarters and retail shop so I stopped in to check it out for the first time. I must say I was a little let down on the size of the place. I had envisioned it being like a Costco size store full of fishing tackle! Hahaha. But nonetheless it was still an awesome store and anything they didn't have in the store front they had in the back and were able to grab it really fast. Luckily my brother was with me (he doesn't fish) , so I wasn't in there very long and only walked out of there doing $50 in damage. I have never fished the Fat Ika and have been hearing good things, so that was the main thing on my list:
Fat Ika 4" Watermelon/ W BLK FLK x 2
Fat Ika 4" Black/ W BLU FLK x 2
Rage Tail Cut R Worm Black/ W Blu Flk x 2

Senko lover reply :
Just got in an order from "my personal TW," also known as a retired FLW co-angler in my church with a garage FULL of baits he never could use in his lifetime and gives to me at a big discount.
Never tried any of the soft plastics before, can't wait to start throwing flukes and lizards. They crush weightless soft plastics at my ponds.
All of the bags were consolidated with other bags and have about twice as much as normal stuffed into them:
-Two bags of Zoom Salty Super Flukes
-One bag of BPS Flukes
-One bag of Sug Gos he threw in as extra
-Two bags of Zoom Lizards
-One bag of FLW series Mann's Lizards
-Two Cotton Cordell Spots
He only charged me 12 bucks for the whole lot....when you consider that the bags had a ton in them there was probably about 40-50 dollars worth. very nice of him.
Once I get my trick worms that he forgot this order next week and my jerkbait comes in from the Fishhound sale, my fishing "needs" will have been wrapped up. Now it's time to get some bass smell on those baits......

It's a small frame and pretty light. I don't like the short handle but I already ordered one the same time I bought the reel. It'll get Boca bearings but I do that to all my reels. Casting seems pretty normal for what I was using. About average with my other reels. Line lay could be a tad better unless I got a dud. Odd thing I noticed was when pulling drag the line guide moves on the gear.
Mothercanucker reply :
I absolutely cannot believe some of the deals you guys get. Here in Quebec, Canada we don't even have Basspro, Dick's OR Cabelas and our dollar is currently worth 20% less than yours. We just have SAIL and it's pretty much a monopoly. (aside from small shops here and there) I pay a hell of a lot more for my tackle and sure as hell don't have any sales a fraction of what I've seen here. It's cheaper for me to order from Japan than the US.

Yeah it does suck. But in Ontario we have 2 Bass Pros! And a Cabelas! But eveything is more expensive. To put in in perspective, Chronarch CI4s go for 330 up here, and I have seen shops selling them for 400. Craziness...

Definitely absurd, but I've been there lol
So I am no swimbait expert or anything, but I took the hudd gill to the neighborhood pond just to see how it swims. To my surprise, the thing was hard to keep upright on a steady retrieve. I was using a 6:4, and I had to reel extremely slow for it to swim upright ( even then it still fell over a lot). Did I have the wrong impression that it was supposed to swim upright? Lol Or was it designed to be something else?
rippin-lips reply :
I'm not either but in my limited experience fishing my Hudd's I reel them very slowly. That's using a cardiff which is 5:x:1.

That was my requirement when I bought a vehicle last year. I ended up with a 2012 RAV4 and I like it. Roof rack, room for one-piece 8' rods, and it's a fairly smooth ride for how big it is. It would probably tow something too.
rippin-lips reply :
Top of my list was being able to haul my kayak and do good in the snow. Better gas mileage than my truck was the next big thing. I've never had an issue hauling rods in any vehicle as long as the back seats fold down. Even a Suzuki sx4 and they're small. Now I can't tow my 19' boat but I'm trying to sell it since I don't use it a lot.

My gf has the same car and I love that thing. Runs great, rides smooth, is awesome in the snow and gets killer mileage. It's our go-to ski gear + dog + kids road trip car in the winter with a huge roof box, and then the roof box gets switched out for double yak racks in the summer. Great car! Just do yourself a favor now and get the anti-rust coating underneath and especially in the wheel wells- Those cars ALWAYS rust out from the wheel wells first.
Love the Outbacks though. One of the best all-around cars ever made IMO. It just does it all in spades and you can even sleep in the back in a pinch- now if only I could afford an RS6 Avant

I sure do wish Tackle Warehouse had a membership like REI so I could get something back for the thousands of dollars I have spent. I'll opt out of showing this post to my wife who does support the addiction/passion but the numbers might be a little shocking to her.

Reading your post about DSSG's gave the monkey my IP address - didn't buy much, just a couple packs of 4" Senkos and a couple different Kreatures to try out this Spring (when baits stop BOUNCING off the water...)

The baitmonkey decreeith and so it was that the cart was teeming with 4 LC pointers, 2 vission 110's, 2 SK KVD 200's, 2 Yamamoto Tenkuu's, 2 smithwicks, 2 duo Realis 100DR's, and 4 other random brands... also there was some split rings, trebles, and of course 2 new Plano 3771's to put it all in.

Broke collage kid I am not, and last hall of a high school I saw was with my son at an orientation.
But I think fishing junkie about sums it up. Now I'm not a person top have 50 of one lure, and one in each color. I do however like to try new baits, and as time has gone on the price range has varied. It wasn't to long ago I though a $15 crank was way too much. Now I have no problem paying $30 for something I don't have.

Honestly I haven't had much success on perch colored baits (not that I throw them a lot) but that could be because when I do I haven't had much luck.

Master Bait'r reply :
On 3/30/2015 at 12:09 PM, hawgenvy said:I have admittedly gotten so deep into so many different types of baits, that I often can't decide what to try next. I'll go bank fishing after work and I'll bring along maybe three out of my 10 or so bass rods. Now its Spring so any bait might work. Should I bring a senko, a jig, a spinnerbait, a frog, any of three swimbaits, or a crankbait or maybe a buzzbait? I can't bring everything, nor would I have time to tie on everything, and due to the possibilities I am perpetually in a state of disorganized bait confusion.
Last month I caught my biggest fish of the year, a nice 7.6 pounder, on a pegged SK Rodent flipped into thick pads. It turns out I had received the Rodent in a gifted mystery tackle box. I reiterate: That random Rodent caught my biggest fish of the year! So now, of course I have boxes of Strike King Perfect Plastics Caffeine Rodents in every color and size -- and my garage smells like old coffee. To go with the Rodents I am now loaded with flipping hooks, tungsten weights, bobber stoppers, and #50 plus braid line. And I can now snell a heavy gauge flipping hook with my eyes closed.
Tonight I went fishing for ninety minutes in a local pond. Caught five fish: two on a SK Rodent: a one and a two pounder; a half pounder and a dink on a Yum Dinger (dark red with red flakes), and a vicious three pounder on black skirted buzz bait. So that didn't narrow things down!
So many bassers get all shopping crazed from catching one big fish on something new, and immediately get more of them, and do the same on whatever bait we see a friend catch a big one or good numbers on. Or we respond to some ad or article or You Tube vid. I keep trying new things, because the "grass is always greener." Us bassers are the best thing that ever happened to the bait and tackle venders, of course.
But I'd rather be the type of angler that has a sensible tried and true collection of baits that work for him or her. One that knows when and how to use those established baits really really well, keeps it all well organized, and uses them to catch bass every season of the year. An angler that considers new toys with a little healthy skepticism. And one that knows how to buy their basic baits in bulk for a lot less money.
Also maybe consider selling some of the gear and putting it towards an inexpensive kayak. You've got to get off the shore, man! 10 rods and no boat. Crazy talk!!

Saw a video on the yo-zuri crayfish and had to get 3, saw some videos of frog fishing so....had to buy some different frogs, and my old standby is always plastics so had to get $200+ worth of plastics I havent tried...

They are building a river walk/boardwalk along the river and it's basically making it so I can fish from ~30yds out of my shop's front door, and easily take my kayak to work in the summer. Color me excited, I've been watching the machines go to town out the window like a 9yo.

SPEED probably got a deal(He's got connections), but his are one of a kind, and therefore..."Priceless".I think you can order them, and most I've seen are custom painted(by the maker, Eric Smith, I think), and look extremely realistic.

He went to urgent care. They numbed it, pushed it through, clipped it, then backed it out. Proud son moment, my dad's biggest concern was that they didn't get any of the alcohol on his bait (which he didn't just remove for some reason), because he didn't want them to ruin the finish Most expensive bait my dad has ever bought before that 110 is an Xrap, so it was a big deal for him.

They are one of my favorite follow-up baits I have found for when I'm froggin'. If something misses the frog while I'm working it through cover I'll have the jawbreaker ready to go and it is almost like a finesse punching rig or something- lets you get right in there, and flutters down once it's through rather than sinking like a punch rig. They get slammed! I might even match the jawbreaker to the frog I'm using. Maybe Almost never gets hung up either- works great on it's own around big laydowns, lumber and such. Great bait!

Finally got around to ordering a few baits I have been wanting to try out.
I'm real excited about the Siebert jigs and punch rigs. There are 14 of them in those 6 bags. And the D-bombs are for the punch rigs when head to Reelfoot lake next month.
Its like x-mas in April!!

Wrapped up *what I hope to be* my last big order from TW before the season starts. Got a bunch of plastics and a boatload of terminal tackle. With a few more fleabay purchases making their way across the Pacific, I will be ready to attack in no time!
Also shook hands on my new project boat- picked up a 12' semi-v and trailer from my brother that's in awesome shape. Hoping to get it over to the sandblaster's next week sometime to begin the overhaul as she's been a lawn ornament for some time. After she's blasted clean I'll be repainting it gray with some ultra-heavy-duty machine epoxy and adding a light carpeted floor. Can't wait to get to work!

Especially considering there's like 600 zoom worms per bag that's an even better deal than it would be otherwise! Nice grab!
Also, it might not be a very good deal in comparison but there is always part of me that will feel like I got a killer deal when I get a 600yd spool of 6# Yo-Zuri Hybrid to my doorstep for $12.

Good choice! It is a great workhorse for sure. I have mine on a frog rod and with the drag locked it is a BEAST.
I'd probably just make sure to add a drop or so of oil on the handle side gearing... Mine was pretty dry. Also take a Q-tip and wipe a super thin coating of light reel oil on the brake race- that is the metal disc thingy on the inside of the brake cover that the brakes run along. If it's completely dry it can get loud and screamy and nobody wants that.

They said there would be shipping delays. I sprung for 2-day air and it got here, but the ground shipping is a bit backed up from what I understand.
Big C reply :
Yes sir. It's backed up because a bunch of Yahoos took advantage of the 10% off sale. I made an order Friday it's scheduled to ship tomorrow.
LittleBob reply :
Well went to gander due to the horrible weather we are having at the moment and ended up leaving with a new *** black and some senkos. The senkos were on sale for 5.99 and also buy one get one 50% off so it would have almost been irresponsible not to buy them.... The rod on the other hand I just really wanted and when it comes to fishing gear I'm weak willed
In regards to TW I ordered a reel late Thursday night and it shipped Friday afternoon so maybe they are catching up?
SudburyBasser reply :
After successfully avoiding the tackle monkey for most of the winter I did give in on Friday and bought a Shimano Crucial MLXF rod that I'll be using for drop shotting. I wasn't really in the market but it was on sale for not much more than the price of a Compre so it was hard to say no to.
Ringonu reply :
Hit up gander mtn and picked up some zman chatterbaits at 20% off and some roboworms an dropshot sinkers. Never tried either so I am adding them to the stack of lures to try. Didn't know the senkos were buy 1 get 1 50% off or I would have stocked up.

Must attest to the sensitivity of this rod as even though it's a heavy action, I felt a 10 inch Cutthroat Trout take a crankbait. At the same time I don't feel like I would have to question the rod's strength if it comes down to pulling a hog out of heavy weeds.

Is that the rod with the silver grey color with the eva split grip? Our the Black with the cork handle? I know they have the Tourney Trail, and Pro Guide.

Yep, it's the black with cork handle (no split grip). I really like it although I haven't caught any bass on it yet!
To add to this thread, just picked up a Snag Proof Harry's Round Frog and Snag Proof Weed Demon. Can't wait to try them out! Also picked up a cheap Daiwa Sweepfire MH 6'6" baitcasting rod for a beater rod in heavier weeds.

I haven't. I used the biggest Yum Mighty Worms on a heavy shaky head some last year and had good luck. I saw the Uptons recommended here a few times and decided to give them a try. I'll fish them on a 1/2-1oz jig head in deep water. I'm pretty excited to try them out.

New Addition To The Family...
To others this combo might not seem like much, but to me it's beautiful. The Shimano Convergence Rod is a personal favorite of mine, I love it's parabolic bend and the sensitivity of the IM-7 graphite. Personally for under $100, I feel it is a very high quality rod for the money provided you take care of it. Years ago I purchased my very first baitcaster (Abu Garcia Revo STX) to learn on. Now that I am proficient enough with a baitcaster for it to be my go-to reel, I have finally purchased my second one. The Abu Garcia Orra 2 SX has good reviews and seems like a solid reel for the money. I have yet to try it out and test it, but it feels amazing in the hand and operates very smoothly. Provided there isn't any hidden surprises, I'm sure I will fall in love with it.

If it's only the top 3 inches, just buy a new tip top and glue that on. Good as new, only 3 inches shorter. But that added shortness is offset by the fact that it's a custom rod now... ;-)

8" tiles on a table. It's the baby. I've always thrown a Slammer in place of a rat bait so I'm pretty excited to fish it.

Scott,
I would be very interested in hearing your impressions are the reel. The previous gen model was on my short list for a long time but couldn't justify the purchase and I missed when they cleared they out on JLS. The new model looks great.
S Hovanec reply :
I have nothing to judge it by as I own no other JDM stuff. Prior to this, my best spinning reel was a Sustain 2500FD.
The first thing I was surprised to see was there is no anti-reverse switch. Makes no difference to me, but it would be a deal breaker for some. It has a rubber seal on the handle where it screws into the body, another first for me. The drag knob also has a seal. I can't remember if my Sustain has that it not.
I LOVE the shallow spool. I only put 50 yards of braid on my reels, so this one won't require much backer. It supposedly only holds 115yds of 4#.
It may be a few weeks before I get it on the water as I haven't even started building the rod yet! Its going on a 5S610MLXF-B extended to 7'. Split Tennessee grip and Torzite guides.
If the CI4 didn't look so good on my NFC DS610, I'd consider getting a C2000HGS for it.

Yeah there are some amazing boats out there right now.
The predators are very similar if you like the dancefloor style layout and I'm pretty sure in the 13 they offer a center trolling motor console(!).
Also I really like the Lure series. That wheel in the keel just seems like the way it should be and I love the layout. They also offer a center electronics console a la ride 115x as well in their 13'er iirc.

Originally came in to say that I can't believe you can get a brand new trolling motor w 2 year warranty shipped TYD for $102. It just doesn't seem feasible.

I'll be able to compare the Lure with the ATAK once I get mine. The Lure is a sweet boat. It's heavy though, and is slow to turn. Reminds my of my old PBG. Not sure what use a bass angler will have for the built in cutting board.
GADawgs reply :
J,
Another brand that I really like, and own, are Jackson Kayaks. They are also built in the US and have great fishing platforms. Depending on what waters you are going to be one I would take a look at the Cuda 12 or 14, Coosa HD or Big Rig.

Does anyone find it nearly impossible to spend less than $50 from TW? Like when all you really need is to replenish a bag or two of soft plastics (whose production cost is probably a nickel), you end up buying stuff you don't need, but hope you will need within a few months, so that you can save the high shipping fee. Then a week later there is one other thing you forgot to order, because right now that thing is actually catching fish and you're soon to run out of it. Or it's something new you've been really wanting to try, but you neglected to order it. And the shipping cost for that one item is more than the price of the item itself. So you again buy maybe $54 of stuff, to get free shipping. This recurring process seems to build quite a nice bit of inventory in the garage.

Look around terminal tackle sites. Really any similar variation will do about the same, but all kinds of stuff from weighted weedless wacky hooks to other sizes/weights/shape heads will work. The shroomz are indeed pretty perfect when you tie them on but they also bend quick, snag easy, are expensive and are sold out all over. These are all good reasons to just flat out try stuff. They aren't a new concept at all, just do yourself a few favors- a) get them with the same style wire keeper and use a lighter to heat the hook before you texpose as with any z man Elaztech bait

Haha right?! Even the little ones do it! Actually it wasn't bad at all though, as long as the total build stays under a grand (I'm probably around 700-750 right now) I'll be happy. All I need is a battery so I'm looking pretty good.

Those Swing Impacts are awesome, especially in that size. Try fishing them on a jighead using a lift and fall motion, it has worked great for me. The reel and rod also look really nice.

Which size? one is 4.8'' the other is 3.8''. I'm Planning on using the 4.8'' on Chatterbaits, and the 3.8'' on Swim Jigs.
OntarioFishingGuy reply :
Sorry, I thought they were both the 3.8. That size is what works best for me. The 4.8 would probably works well on a chatterbait.

hawgenvy reply :
Hey, GoRaven, I use 4/0 weighted swimbait hooks on the 4.8" fat swing Keitech and hooking up fine most the time.
To change the subject, lately I've been using Yum Dinger senkos, and even though the bassin's been slow around here for some two weeks, for some inscrutable reason my senkos have been disappearing! Could only find a few half chewed ones at the bottom of my 5-gallon, and after I fished with them torn senkos from the other end on the lake Wednesday night, they became fully chewed or gone, courtesy of some fat little one to two pounders. So I had to order a bunch of Dingers on TW and fortunately they were on sale for under $3 (for the 5"). But of course I ordered a spit load of 'em because I hate, I say, I hate paying the shipping cost. Well, now I'm out $51, and she don't know it yet. She'll be a little mad cause I had recently told her I don't need nothing for a while since they not biting anyway. But what was I supposed to do? I tell you this: lest she kills me dead I'm gonna be very happy sittin on a whole fresh bunch of brand new stick worms all got on sale. Yessir.

That's the "necessities" for me. I catch more fish on plastics (in particular roboworms, tubes and anything that says Yamamoto on it) than anything else. Plus those owners were a great deal. Can't beat a buck fifty a bag with the Memorial Day sale.

I have been bitten by the ML/light M spinning rod bug BAD. Once my boat is in the water, it's going to be almost impossible to not just go and buy myself something nice.

Nah, I tried. I asked if they had any hold overs, but they had sold them already. I got the Lure for $1149, the 115X was $200 more and if I included the Paddle and pfd I would of been way over budget. I was also looking into the Old Town Predator XM that was in my budget but they were sold out. I did get a pretty good paddle and a good pfd. New Jersey Paddler has every brand, and they were the only place closest to me that let you demos, and they were an hour and fifteen minutes away.

Excellent! From my understanding there were only about 200 of those made. Sounds like you locked in a rare gem. Two questions if I may:

2. Do you have an exquisite rod planned for the reel and since it is based off the Zillion platform what do you invision using it for?
3. How do you feel it performs over the stock zillion when casting?

That's what I plan on doing. I would recommend using a rod that has a good parabolic bend. Early this year I did get snagged up and found that the Shadow Rap's hooks can bend fairly easy... so just be aware of that and you should be fine.

Yeah that was it. You'll have plenty of other chances to get one. I might even be selling that one. I don't need it now that I bought the steez. I haven't owned a TD-Z yet though. So I'm going to see how I like it before I decide on that.

These are the first lure covers I've had. They seem very well made too. I store the rods in the hull of my kayak when transporting so it's going to make it easier pulling them out and keeping them untangled. Not to mention may save me a treble hook in the hand one day....

Well, I currently have a Trion 40 size reel on a M/Mod rod. That just won't do and needs to be rectified. It would require another rod for this reel and another reel for this rod. I have a BC reel that's getting worn out and needs to be replaced by a quality unit, but I'm not wild about the rod either. I have an UL spin reel on a light rod. I have an UL rod with a crappy (not crappie) Zebco 11 underspin with a frozen drag on it. Tsk-tsk!!!
I yard-sold a couple old BC rods, so there are 2 new holes in the rod holder.

From keel weighted swimbaits hooks, to drop shots, swimjig trailers, and Texas rigged they flat out work. Durability isn't a concern if I am catching fish.
Don't do this to me!
Just kidding. I'm trying to branch out into swimbaits and swim jigs. I have a bunch of Netbait swim jigs ready to try, however I don't know anyone who uses them so I'm just going to experiment with them. I was thinking that the Keitech plastics ordered above might work but I have other plastics and some pork also.
In the past crankbaits and spinnerbaits have been my lure of choice but I'm beginning to appreciate the drop shot as my local mudpuddle is tough to fish. In recent past TW orders not reported to this support group, I landed a collection of shakey heads but have yet to use them. Oh, and true confessions, I just purchased a Bogagrip (315) and Ranger Pro Series rubber landing net. There, now, I feel much better.
Anyway, I want to put one more TW order together before winter (the budget has been totally blown for the year--bait monkey is to blame). I'm going to consider more Keitech swimbaits for sure.

Small TW order....some flipping stuff, going to try this fish friendly cull system to see how it fairs, and some more D&M bladed jigs because they always catch me fish
Caught one of my tournament keepers with the Missle Baits D-Bomb the weekend after I got them - decent, but nothing to write home about.
Also restocked on siebert jigs 2 weeks back. TW sale will most likely end with me purchasing at least one more rod....the bait monkey gets me almost weekly these days >.>

I'm looking at trucks right now myself. The new Colorado's do look nice, but I don't see how they can charge just as much for a mid size truck as they do a full size truck. The 2014 leftover Silverado's are the same price as the 2015 Colorado's.

The Colorado's remind me of a crossover SUV for people who want a truck. It's the same size add a Equanox.
But where it gets you is the accessories. LT, LTZ Z71, packages, and it goes on. A 36k truck can get up to 45 real quick.

You would probably be better served with a medium especially with the archangel series blanks. It's certainly possible with a MH but don't think you'll feel the extra sensitivity your seeking with the MH.

This is all speculation, as I don't think any of us have an Archangel yet. I can tell you that the 7'1" MHF *** Black is very comfortable with 1/4 oz tungsten + finesse worm. You could ask *** how the MH Archangel compares power-wise.

Tried it out today and liked it a lot! Had a scary moment when a pounder got stuck in some really dense lily pads and I heard the rod start to creak, but thankfully I got the fish to pull through without any more trouble. A little worried that I damaged the rod but I guess I'll find out on the next fish...

DirtyDeuceGoose - the hippy is my go to jig for a big bite in the spring or fall. I usually order them in 2 sizes, either 38 or 1/2 oz. Size depends on depth of water and also the trailer chosen. With that much living rubber there is a ton of wind resistance and action built in. Choosing a heavier head weight helps combat that. For trailers the 38 usually get full size beaver style baits to add bulk and weight plus castability. The 12 oz size I usually run a more aggressive trailer with more movement like a bigger Keitech crazy flapper, lobster, etc.

Awesome, thanks!! Great info that I'm sure I can capitalize from.

for now it's fishing and last night was a good night! TW order came in (late) but the Dobyns Glass 705 is now here as is all the extras i placed in the cart....
I have been doing a lot of pistol shooting in the last 3 years. Started handloading my ammo almost 2 years ago. Right now I have 3 presses (a single stage Rockchucker, an RCBS turret press and a progressive Hornady LNL). I load and shoot about 600-1000 rounds per month (depending on if my wife and/or son joins me). And have a lot of reloading components. I'm lucky, my club has an indoor range and we get together every week for fun/practice, regardless of the weather. I shoot in 2 or 3 matches per month on average.
Between that, fishing, work and school, I'm busy.

Love it! Super sensitive. Landed about 10 fish on it, all on texas rigs. Used it today in thick (ish) vegetation. Pulled in a huge snapping turtle, which broke my hook later. Also hooked a big 4 pounder, and was horsing it in over the vegetation when the hook popped out. Nothing I could do, but the rod handled the bigger bass well.
Very happy with it so far. Took a little while to get used to the smaller butt and small trigger, but I'm adjusted now. I'll put up a full first impressions review later this next week.

Still up . I tested it in the pool yesterday and I really like the swim. It's really fluid at all speeds and can 180 pretty easily. I'm keeping mine, but I'm sure they'd resell for close to, if not more than retail if you decided to get rid of it.

The wiggle wogs are a pretty cool alternative to normal frogs. They definitely get hit but just be ready to wail on 'em to set the hook. Also be sure to check your hooks. I had to send one back because it was irreparably misaligned and ran crooked.

I like them a lot so far. They are tacky, never slippery. When it comes to design questions, I'm unsure about the taper design vs just a standard round cylindrical style wrapped with Winn material. They are kinda big, and when I first got them I thought "I'm not gonna like these", but I got used to them in a hurry and really like them.
I like the Daiwa TD-Z style knobs quite a bit too. It's been many years since I've used Shimano Septons so I can't compare those. When I get these new handles I'll be able to tell you more regarding direct comparisons to Daiwa knobs. I think I'm in trouble here now though, I like these Winn knobs and this could get expensive.

That pic is great with the rabbit. I had a GSD and a cat a long time ago, that were the best of friends. The cat would drag treats out of the cupboards for the dog, and the dog would tip over the garbage for the cat. My grandparents had a GSD and a huge lop rabbit that played and rough housed together all the time. That rabbit was cool, was house broken, and went outside with the dog.
My dog now is a Shiba Inu mix.

There are a bunch of great kayaks in that price range and equipment level and realistically I'd love any of them but man... I really do love that Lure 11.5. That seat looks like it's halfway to a barca lounger and I've always thought the wheel in the keel was an awesome idea.

I'm having back surgery at the end of August, and that boat is the next fun thing I'm spending money on after I recover. I was hesitant looking into a kayak because of my back problems, but that adjustable seat will likely be a life saver. And it's ridiculous weight capacity makes kayak fishing/camping trips easy because it holds so much gear. I'm ridiculously jealous.

I was traveling across I-80 today on my way back home and stopped at Cabelas World Headquarters in Sidney Nebraska.
Honestly, I was kind of disappointed. They really didn't have the selection I thought they would have and there were no aquariums full of fish that the other half and little one were excited about. I was wanting some 10 inch worms, shaky head weights (only thing they had I wanted, but over priced), tiny torpedoes and some drop shot weights. I would have assumed the "world's foremost outfitter" would have had all of those items, so I was very let down.
I did end up buying some random stuff
I got two Persuader buzzbaits. I have never used a buzzbait before so I am looking forward to it in a few weeks.
I got a pack of 4 Shaky head weights ... the other two are on some worms ready to go
some jig heads
a Cabelas Dig-it Craw crankbait (6-10 feet)
Berkley Flicker Minnow (18-23 feet)
Berkley Flicker Shad (9-11 feet in blue growler Cabelas exclusive color)
Berkley Flicker Shad (6-8 feet in firetiger)
also not pictured, I am an Abu Garcia guy and back in the bargain bin I found an Abu Garcia 7 foot medium heavy rod that had been marked down from $99 to $49 took it to the counter and got it for $40.
The other half loaded up on crappie stuff, shes loves fishing for crappie. Had an Elk meat sub on the way out so it turned out to be an alright day.

On 7/31/2015 at 9:35 AM, Master Bait said:There are a bunch of great kayaks in that price range and equipment level and realistically I'd love any of them but man... I really do love that Lure 11.5. That seat looks like it's halfway to a barca lounger and I've always thought the wheel in the keel was an awesome idea. Now they even have the electronics console, they offer the option for a rudder which is huge to me and the wider the better IMO. I'm not trying to win any races, thats for sure... Add in the lime camo and I'm on cloud nine. Dream boat right there.
You're gonna love that seat, I can sit in it all day even with my Chinook PFD on. The stability is really awesome, I got to really feel how stable this thing is last week when I was out on a lake with some boat traffic, it's only a 10mph restricted lake, but there were some jetskis with way more hp pushing it out there. I had no issues while standing with all the boat and Jetski wake. The wheel is handy, once I have it balanced I can pull my yak fully loaded thru grass, dirt, up and down hills with no issue. The issue I have with the wheel is loading it on top of the Explorer. When you raise it, and try to lean it against the truck it wants to roll back so it's a pain to car top on something that high, but I fixed that problem by shoving a piece of pool noodle cut long ways in between the front of the wheel and kayak so it keeps the wheel from spinning. You're gonna like it good...

As promised, here are two baits I recently purchased. They are in great shape, in the original boxes, with Inserts!
The black bait Is pre- 1965 and it was later named Rebel Humpy. If you'll notice on this bait the screw that holds the lip onto the bait is on top of the head. It was only later, not sure when, they decided to go from the bottom.

I new spinning rod from Japan. A Japanese manufacturer. There quality looks good.
Spinning reel from China the lettering on it looks exactly like a $100 reel. I feel the big name manufacturers go to China teach them how it's done then they go on there own. My Chinese baitcaster from a few years back is as good as any $100 reel. It's awesome. I have some older name brands that cost more.
You can say what u want but someday the Chinese will be in the fishing reel business like Japan is to cars today. There stuff looks good and is decent quality.
The fish don't know in using a $12 spinning reel from China. I like testing products. I did this at the engineering r&d lab. I enjoy it. The 5yo grandson will end up with it for the drop test. Lol.

Scaleface, these will not see the water. I am though talking to a Rebel-head that has a few more of the shad floaters and am trying to get 2-3 more just for the purpose of throwing them just to see. I have a stash of Rebel ring worms that are going to be used in the near future.
Karma reply :
I stopped at Cabela's again today this time in Richfield, WI and of course my wallet got victimized. This will actually be my last purchase of baits for a while. I am looking forward to seeing what I get in my upcoming MTBs I just signed up for.
Cabela's brand Silver Glitter tube (crappie)
Wingding jig 2 packs (crappie)
Reality Shad 2 packs in chartreuse and chartreuse/pink (crappie)
moving on to the bass lures...
Cabelas brand RealImage swimbait in chrome shiner
more shaky heads
Strike King KVD Jerkbait
Cabela's Fisherman series Scuttle Shad crankbait
Strike King Rage Tail Structure Bug in Bama Craw
Cabela's brand 5 inch chartreuse trick worm
Cabela's brand fluke in white and chartreuse
I am really liking this crankbait. I think the primary color will work well with some of the bait fish we have in my favorite lake as well as the chartreuse on it to perhaps get a little more attention
Also i liked their brand of Flukes over the Zoom brand I have been getting a walmart and the like. Has hook slots on both sides of the bait.
S. Sass reply :
These came in today from Surplus Fishing Tackle. I haven't used Storm soft baits before that I recall. I found it pretty nice they actually include 2 hooks with their baits. That would be something other bait companies could get in on even if it was just a couple. Since I dont live close to any real specialty tackle shops these long tube jigs that came with the 5" tubes are a blessing I can experiment with my baits the way the manufacturer intended a lot quicker. Then I can buy what I like to use later.

I have quite a few of those tube like craws in my collection. If you are looking for more shoot me a PM. At one point I had several dozen packs I bought for smallmouth grips up north. Haven't been able to go for a while. I can double check what I have left if you are interested?

Oh man several dozen packs! Well I have never tried these particular ones but thought what the heck. I like trying different stuff. And just about any craw is a good deal for me. Just looking at them don't look to bad I like they are soft (hollow). Still not sure how I want to rig them. Looks like Storm wants to put a jig in them. Have you used any of them? How did you try them? I do most of my plastics T style.
If these work out I may look for more. Ill keep you in mind thanks for the consideration.
kickerfish1 reply :
Sure! I haven't fished one yet as they were bought for a trip up north that never happened. Clear water and skiddish smallmouth were on the agenda. Sadly my local lakes offer neither of these items so I haven't felt the need to use them. If you try them and like them shoot me a PM. I will check my rigging supplies to see what might work best.
S. Sass reply :
My last order probably this year if I don't get bit. This all came from FishAndSave. I have never used a Brawley lure that I knew of. Of course I have yet to fish one but I have to say those jigs are a steal at .80 a pop. Really nice skirts and they are a lot closer to where I run mine in length than those really long ones. I'm just guessing but I would say these are about 1/4 past the hook. Others I get usually are about 1/2 inch and I trim to my liking but these I could run just the way I got them and be OK with it. Also I never had a Nichols chatterbox pretty much their version of a chatterbait. They look pretty nice as well.
Only 2 disappointments one was the stack jars the bottom 2 were chipped and the Strike King spinner bait skirt was a sticky mess. Appears to be some cheap rubber skirt material. This whole order at my door was $22.86 I figure that is a pretty sweet deal.

Fair warning the C&M ones mainly the 1/2 oz ones the finish wasn't good on the heads. The Brawley brand have been awesome. Still great buys even having to repaint the large C&M jig heads if you want. I have just as good luck with them beat up. Guess the fish aren't worried or don't mind about a lead colored jighead. And if I get hung up I didn't lose $5 haha

I'm from Ohio and those things are very popular. I haven't used them yet but from local fishing forums I'm on they catch nice bass. The slush color is popular for smallmouth fishing the local rivers.
Another Ohio lure company to check out is vic coomer lures. Look them up on Facebook they sell from the Facebook page I think.

A broken rod, tempting bargain bins, and a great deal on Flea Bay led to a tackle binge this last week.
Everything is new to me except the reel. Minus the combo, everything was purchased for $40.00, which isn't a half bad deal!
Gonna have fun testing them all out this week.

Mdbowhunter: I literally just got done watching some videos on that shellcracker. Looks to be a beast.
This my second well third but second in the bright bluegill color. I had my best morning all year by far and every fish came on the Shellcracker. Well that is up until I hit a tree branch and instead of retying I just re-casted and hooked up a dink, so I just surfed it back to the boat and as I lifted it to swing it into the boat it shook and there he went along with my brand new Shellcracker. When you get fish chasing one kill it and it will swim up to the top and that's when they hammer it. I fish Liberty reservoir and its really clear so I see most bites before they happen, which sometimes can make it tough because you have to make them commit as soon as you can see them or not too long after they'll see you and its game over.
On another note the bait well tackle monkey got me for another $114 last night on an Okuma 7'11" heavy big bait rod so I can take this whole swimbait thing to a new level. That and the Hybrid striper season should be coming back in play real soon and we have some hammer hybrids where I fish, hence the Savage gear trout!!!

I landed the first fish to bite that on the first day I took it out. Great jigs! They skip really well and come through slop like it's not there. Get the deep throat hook. Ultra sharp and there's no coming off of it. I will never even look at strike king again. I'm a Siebert man, now!

Turns out the package shipped from Bass Pro Shops in Springfield, and inside with the rod was a BPS packing slip and returns paper. Not sure how the seller is affiliated with BPS but whatever, looks like a great rod.

This may get me in trouble, but there have been several posts from members who comented on the quality of these rods, but they were seemingly deleted. I only know this because I responded to a good number of them and couldn't access the thread when I went to check for replies.
Nonetheless, I'm still curious to see how these rods compare to a Fenwick HMG.

Gotta let us know how you do with your 3:16, I haven't been able to buy a bite, I'm hoping it starts producing next spring. I didn't have mine until late in the season, so I didn't get to throw it during, what I think, would be "prime time".

I definitely will. I haven't fished it yet but I'm excited to. I couldn't ever get a Hardgill in SS so I decided to get a 3:16 instead.

I think I'll like it, haven't tried it yet. I had a regular *** frog that got lost somehow but really liked it. Thought I'd get a small version too since a couple ponds I fish a lot have a lot of smaller bass in them.

Plan on doing some uber early fishing this weekend and wanted a light with plenty of power. I figured a headlamp would be the best choice since I could handle a fish (and un hook it safely) and not worry about droping a light or placing a flashlight in my mouth. I also wanted a powerful light so when I walk up to the bank I can clearly see the ground and watch for snakes or gators at the edge or close by. After plenty of research I found what fit my needs & wants to a tee, enter the Thrunite TH10
Mode & Runtime: Firefly (0.2 lumens, 65 days）, Low (11 lumens, 107hours）, Medium (172 lumens, 9 hours), High (490 lumens, 178 minutes), Turbo (750 lumens, 118 minutes)，SOS(750 lumens, 270 minutes) I pretty much have my own personal sun on my four head

Brian Brazier reply :
I just picked up a Lucky Craft LV500 in Smallmouth and a LV500GP (Blade) in Gun Metal Shad, I have always had a few Redeye Shads, and Rat L Traps, but I never had much confidence in them. My biggest Smallies have come on SM painted baits, so I figured I would try the LV500, and I thought the LV500 Spin in Gun Metal would be a good Kokanee color. We will see, I still consider myself a novice, I have caught a few big SM, and a 5# LM, but I am still learning how to fish allot of my gear.
I also picked up a new Megabass Ito Vision 110 in a "limited" edition color, Puple Tiger. https://fbcdn-photos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-0/r270/s480x480/11223596_1066050296753581_3765706911762256780_n.jpg?oh=9a9f3dc31390b10a0c9b4be606a549ad&oe=568CAEF6&__gda__=1453531504_daf8911b8afc4619180cf50fa0d10a1chope the link woks, if not do a search its a flamboyant color. I dont know it it will catch fish or not, I like collecting odd colors and Vision 110's in general.
I almost forgot, I got a Livingston Dive Master in Real Shad, it was marked down to $2.99 at a lttle gas station that has some fishing stuff. Not sure if they miss marked it, I dont know about the sound technology, but for $3 I will throw it.

Good luck. Hard to tell from the photos but if you can opt for the Owner deep throat hooks. They are strong and sharp. You will not lose many fish with these. Well worth a few cents more. Also you may want to try fishing some with living rubber in the fall. They tend to draw the bigger bites.
I have 18 3700 series full of jigs but Mr. Siebert will be getting my business again this fall/winter for more jigs, heads, and skirts. Good prices, selection, quality, and if I need anything special he will take care of it.

bigbill reply :
My optimum mud puppies arrived nice. But I ordered some AA plastic 5" baby pus. There larger than the mister twister 4" split double tail grubs I use for trailers. I been looking for trailers for my pike/muskie spinnerbaits and my mister twister super top props. Plus I want to cut them a tad to fit my bigger bass spinnerbaits. These split double tail plastics look so real behind a spinnerbait the fish can't refuse them. These split double tail grubs give a wider profile to the spinnerbait. Without them I catch nothing the spinnerbait doesn't work. Regular spinnerbaits it's the mister twister 4" split double tail grub with a trailer hook.

hawgenvy reply :
After the slowdown of the post-postspawn days and the doldrums of summer, the pre-prespawn period saw an upswing of substandard but numerous bass with a particular taste for the Bluegill Flash color Zoom Salty Super Fluke, whose nose deteriorates such that it slides down the hook after every two dink bites. This prompted me to purchase $108 dollars worth of them, only to discover that as pre-prespawn has transitioned into prespawn, the bass (getting larger) are preferring Watermelon Red Flake and June Bug two-to-one over Bluegill Flash. Alas, I am out of WRF and JB. When the next TW shipment arrives my wife will be throwing the box at my head, I am sure of that.

Using an owner twist-lock hook seems to have solved the nose-sliding problem for me for flukes. I have not, however, found a solution to the "not enough colors" problem that is capable of avoiding the Exasperated Spouse side effect.

Strangely enough, I haven't found bass to be picky about colour when they want a fluke. Maybe I'm staying in the colour range enough that they don't care enough not to bite. It IS tempting to get all the colours that we think will work though, I feel your pain there!

Thanks so much, Mlbassyaker (How do you pronounce that?) for the tip. I have around here somewhere a cache of twist lock hooks that I can try on flukes. The color problem is most likely a brain dysfunction that I (and bass anglers in general) have that has been merely exacerbated by marketing experts and exploited by their clients. I accept full responsibility for my own meshugaas. Nevertheless, as far as my wife knows, bass change their color preferences explicitly and definitively: she thinks I am feeding the bass rather than my madness. I will not dissuade her. The lure addict, like other addicts, must fulfill his or her agenda with conviction, false or otherwise.

In the original Klingon, it's pronounced "Michigan Bass Kayaker", although I've removed some unnecessary syllables and compounded it. Like in Esperanto. Only cleverer.

Aha! A Micheganer Kayaker! Humble thanks for the clarification! In gratitude, here's my tip for you, my friend: addend upon your nimble craft a splash of blood red paint to the underbelly at the forward keel. Then boldly apply a flame of chartreuse along the tail of your swift machine. And glue red and plum glitter upon the paddles: that I guarantee will attract directly to your minuscule ship ravenous toads, I say, TOADS! Biting toads for the catching!

Picked up another Spro Fat John 60 in Chrome Olive, and a Lucky Craft Fat CB BDS 2 in Gunmetal Shad, the flashy lures drive SM and LM crazy at my local lake. The water is crystal-clear almost all the time, and the flash imitates Kokanee really well. For those that dont know what Kokanee are, they are a type of sockeye salmon, they have blue backs, and bright chrome sides.

That's awesome! I really like using burl/burnt/composite cork on heavy power rods that are over 7'. That little bit of extra weight from the burl cork really aids in balance.

The measurement from butt end to the trigger measures 11.5". I like a longer handle so it tucks under by forearm when I need more leverage.

I could tell it was pretty long. 11.5" is about my limit on normal casting rods, 10"-11" is where I like most of my handles. That's the great thing about customs, you can make it however you like.

Hi, my name is Paul. And I'm a fishaholic.
Well my boats been in the shop awhile going through a repower so while i am down ive been cleaning up thw tackel room and making some upgrades.
It started with 4 Okuma Helios TCS reels in various ratios. I paired those with 4 No. 8 Blackouts purpose chosen for cranking, flipping, spinners, and soft plastics. I then realised I had a couple of deep cranking rods with no reels so I picked up a couple of Abu Orra winches. Then I saw a deal on the flea market for some Okuma citrix reels and couldn't pass it up. There is also a sale happening for model year 2015 Castaway Skeleton Rods, so I picked up a trio of them to match the new citrix reels. All told its been an expensive couple of months for hardwarwe. Not to mention the TWH terminal tackel and bait orders.
On the bright side I should be in good shape for fishing the fall/winter here in Fl.
Step 1 admit you have a problem...

I also grabbed a Loomis E6X Dropshot rod in the Mag Med.

Trying my hand at tying some jigs.
Made few orders over the last several weeks, which got me:
-A jig skirt-making kit and a few Arky heads from Barlow's
-Some Brush and Grass Heads from Siebert Outdoors in a few different colors
-Some more skirt material from TW.
Never done this before, but I was inspired by my little collection of Siebert jigs (the handiwork of which I've been examining closely) to give it a shot.
After a little trial-and-error on the first several attempts, here's the first bunch I really like, all made from the stuff I ordered above:
(All Siebert Brush and Grass heads, except for a Barlow Arky head left middle)
I think I'm getting the hang of it!
Still have some more heads from those orders yet to use:
I'll probably order a bunch more heads next month...

I needed a few Plano 3601 boxes (love them- I can fit double the boxes in any given tackle bag) and that ballooned into a $120 order from TW. I caught 3 PB bass in the last 2 days; all on spinnerbaits, and I have decided I quite like spinnerbaits and don't have nearly enough.

The Lexa has been killing me for a while. Haven't fished it yet, but for $60...it has an aluminum frame, side plate, and spool, 7 bearings, and a pretty nice handle/grips. Haven't fished it yet, but so far so good.

If you haven't tried a "black" super fluke yet I would highly suggest it. I have 20 packs of flukes and black produces far and away more and bigger fish. I can't explain the logic but that color has been outstanding for me the last 5 years. A guy that fishes the local tournament scene here won AOY while almost exclusively fishing a black fluke year round in less than 8 FOW.

I'm liking them pretty well so far. Haven't found anything they won't cast well yet. I kind of wish the break adjustment was external rather than having to open up the side panel, but the minimalist design of the panel looks pretty slick, and as rarely as I need to make adjustments hiding the mechanism works just fine.

TW has done 20% off on most of the stock on black friday, including rods and reels (although maybe not all of them?), and that's on top of individual markdowns, as I understand. I would have my eye on the Kistler Magnesium TS's currently running about 30% off on TW...if you got 20% on top of that, it would be highway robbery.
Lots of individual manufacturers will do their own sales around then, including possibly some BR sponsors who may announce it here with a post.

Maybe you'll be in luck -- actually, I hadn't looked at those before, but they already seem a decent price, as is.
I don't know about you, but when I stumble on upon a great deal on something, and pull the trigger, I walk on a cloud for a day.

My past 20 years of purchases were small. Every few years a rod and reel combo to replace one that needed replacing, a pack of plastic worms or other expendables here and there... replace a lost spinner, floating minnow, or buzz bait.
I recently moved into our summer cottage and am converting it into a year round home. So it's kind of a fishing expenditure... Just don't tell Mrs. H that lol.
So.... I had to expand my equipment for the extra fishing time that the future holds.
2x Fenwick eagle casting rods
2x gander mountain casting reels (cork handle model)
Fenwick hmx casting Rod
Abu Garcia Ora casting reel
Fenwick eagle spinning rod
Pflueger president spinning reel
Pflueger supreme spinning reel
O yeah. Bought a boat. It's an oldie. 79 glastron with 115 Johnson. I strapped a 70lbs Minn Kota edge tolling motor on the bow. It beats the row boat with a 9.5hp Johnson that sometimes worked.
Other than some jig making supplies my tackle purchases have been the same. Although, Since joining this forum I have seen a few things I might want to try.
I know a fella who started making rods.... We talked....
I'm doomed.....

I don't know yet -- I don't own a baitcasting reel!
Total impulse buy. I'm a long time spinning-junkie, never even cast a baitcaster. I've known I wanted to get a nice mid-tier Fenwick for some time. And I've wanted to get a first baitcaster some time soon and start learning it. What I did not know was that my first casting rod would be a deeply-discounted, discontinued mid-tier Fenwick.
So I now find myself in the market for a beginner-friendly casting reel.
I have heard the seat on these rods doesn't fit some reels very well (some Shimano models in particular, if I recall), so we'll see.

Bait is solid! It glides easily, turns 180 with little effort, doesn't nose up, sinks perfectly horizontal at a very nice ROF, hooks seem to be good, it cast well without helicoptering. The finish seems like it's very durable and the profile is about perfect to mimic a gizzard shad/big shiner. The silencers in the joints are nice to prevent the clacking at every turn.
I really don't think you can go wrong with this bait at the price and will be picking up the smaller size soon as well.

I've been fishing they're jerkbaits for a few years and really like them. All of these others were to try the rest of the company's baits. The baits seem to be really good quality. The ones I've fished so far swim straight out of the package and have good hardware. As a plus they have a good color selection. Wish I could give more info but don't have enough experience to go further.

Really curious how they are in the water. For some reason I do a lot of post frontal fishing so I can always use another finesse SB option. They are bordering on having the banana bait shape so I am hoping for a wide soft wobble.

If you want to try something similar, without paying huge premium for the limited edition shudder tails, look into Fish Arrow HuddleJack. Very similar action.

The sale ends on January 8. They will put a little bit of everything on sale. Odds are, everything in their clearance section will be included at some point too. You can also save an additional 10% by buying a gift card and using it to make a purchase.

Yeah they don't ALWAYS work, but when the fish are in the mood nothing and I mean NOTHING draws 'em like the trick darters. They just stall so perfectly, you can just seem to match any cadence. Mix in the prop darters for about 6" deep looks and the +1 darter for a deep diver and they can actually cover a lot of water with them too. Just watch your drag with the katsuages and you're good. They're pricey but hot dayum I love em.

I was on the fence about getting it, but after getting annoyed with the hook keeper on a Fenwick silverhawk I decided to go ahead. Initial thoughts are that it feels pretty well balanced with a stradic fj2500 on it. Guides all look good. I like that the reel seat threads aren't exposed even after tightening down onto the reel. I feel the handle could be a little longer, but I may change my mind after I can actually get some time on the water with it.

There's an older man in my church who has been fishing tourneys almost all of his life, fished FLW as a coangler for a long time. When he first started out he bought literally one of everything in every color, and has over the year amassed an enormous garage full of stuff. He gives as much of it as I want for 1/3 the price, and most often he just gives it to me. They're all old baits but perfectly functional. That bag is FULL of tubes, old craws, and floating worms.

Once they dropped to 40% for the whole site I got the bad feeling they may be going out of business unless they're just dumping stock for a planned move. I'm not on Facebook or Twitter, but after a quick scan it doesn't appear like they're moving and they've been inactive on both since 11/19. Even during the 20% sales of years past I'd just randomly receive a package a couple weeks after ordering without ever receiving any notification, so you're probably just going to be pleasantly surprised when your order arrives one day soon. Hopefully.

Upon ordering I fully expected the shipping to take a while. I've ordered from them in the past on BF and I think I recall just getting an order confirmation right when I bought it and then never get any sort of shipping/tracking info/confirmation. I think I actually had to call to get it sent to me. I don't expect anything weird going on and my package will probably show up in a week or so but it's irritating when they don't answer any e-mails or pick up their phone. Tried calling all day and nothing. 40% off SK/LC/Spro/Tungsten and other odds and ends was just way too good to pass up.

No doubt that's irritating, especially since they've already taken your money! Those 40% off deals were ridiculous when they still had decent stock of very desirable higher end tackle and if their shipping had stayed free >$50 I'd probably find plenty to order even this morning. Hopefully they don't go out of business because you can always count on 20-25% off for pretty much every big holiday.

Cool! I love 13's rods (I have only O m e n s right now), and yeah you will be punished for mentioning their name on BR. I recommended an O m e n in one thread and got slapped with a 7 day suspension.
On a happier note, it's my first Powell rod, so I will have to see how I like it. It's also the highest MSRP of any rod I have owned, so I am excited about that too!

I realized that P-Line CXX is a little more beef and more importantly memory for a medium sized crankbait setup, and I got a spool of 10 lb. Tatsu as well for that purpose. My first time using FC for main line. I'll have to see how it works.

Oooooh Mex XG & an Onimasu!!! LOVE that brown trout pattern on the Onis, but that perch color is really cool too!

First impression is it's a really nice bait. Seems well made. I LOVE the Brown trout pattern as well, but it would be a wall hanger for me, no trout around here but there sure is a lot of perch

Got part of my TW order in today! Had to get it sent to the office to avoid any divorce proceedings!
I liked the first Lew's Team Pro Z so much i went ahead and scooped 2 more!
And on a side note, TW was not 100% accurate with my order for only the first time ever. However, no big deal. I ordered a black fuji keeper, they shipped a blue one, no biggie. To offset that small mishap, they went one mishap further and threw in a Z man Project Z chatterbait that i did not order!

Is that the green pumpkin shad color? I always kill them with that color in ponds where they feed on bluegills.

I had to grab a couple of the Yo-Zuri baits last night. Only got 3 but as my crank box is almost all Rapala I figured I should take advantage of the price to try some different brands.

I don't like them. If you're looking for a minnow, the bento minnows are where it's at. I've been through several different kinds and the bigger bentos just crush it. The little reflective fiber strip in the middle not only looks awesome but when you put a hook through it that mutha is flat out not coming off. Great on t-rig, great on drop shot, Ned and pretty much anytime you want that baitfish pattern.
kickerfish1 reply :
Buzzed bait the best presentation is in a display glass. The plastic is quite stiff and offers little movement especially at rest. Despite the additional length and eye the bait isn't anything to get excited about IMO. Perhaps they will bring better luck to you. One of the only dropshot baits I would never buy again and I am a huge Jackall fan.

Bought a MH 7' Shimano Clarus spinning rod for $100 (had a $25 gift card to use with it). Looks nice and can't wait to see how it compares to my HMG Fenwick spinning rods.
Also felt very weird looking at nail polish and buying a bottle but - I'm going to try and paint my led bullet weights for the clear water I fish in this season and see how it works. Oh did I feel odd looking at that stuff at Walmart. lol.

Went to Ultimate Fishing Show in Novi, Michigan today. Tubes from Wayne Carpenter of Lake St Clair; Ztech finesse and TRD worms for Ned rigging, some Shroomz jigs for Ned rigs, Snack Daddy craws in Roseville, Michigan - very nice. Great action. Great price. And a bag for bottom bouncers. $2. Lots of college fishing teams with own booths. Selling their hand made jigs, worms etc. CMU in Michigan- real nice natural rubber jigs where strands stand up- wire tied strands- durable available in football, finesse, Arkie style. $4 for 5. Use with Snack Daddy craws. The show was packed. KVD, Mark Martin n more. Once a year fun. Last day tomorrow.

Spent a couple hours on the Ned Rig sticky... then placed an order on TW for a bunch of Z Man TRDs and Shroomz. Bass have been biting weightless Yamamoto Cut Tail worms near the shore, in 50deg water. But another cold front now. Will give the Ned Rig a try later this week.

Love what they did with the green Crucials. Feathery light, super crisp and tons of backbone- they are truly the bargain version of the green NRX IMO. The black ones were good but the EVA I just couldn't get used to. Those green ones though... Oh yeah.
Murrica reply :
That dark green is my favorite color and when I saw it and picked it up and the sales guy at the store said someone came in and said that this combo was too heavy I had to put them both together and feel it and I called the guy crazy that said it was too heavy.

I really like 13's policy of a your choice of a flat fee for replacement or upgrade as you desire. It may not be a free replacement but it also serves to switch things up if you want. One time I broke the tip off a ML spinning rod and exchanged it for a heavy casting rod! $75 definitely sucks to fork over but it's better than $250 for a new rod, and it also gives you the freedom to choose your replacement.

I don't know about favorite but I definitely think they are a great value. Those NV rods give you a lot of bang for the buck and are very versatile. The handles and reel seats are hit or miss but I really like them. I have two currently and they are on par with some of my other rods costing much more.

Just pay close attention to your bait. Make sure it isn't too shredded at the hook to stay weedless. That saves me a lot of snags and lost weights too.

Yeah I was shopping around for a DC reel when that conversation came up. I was looking at a Scorpion DC until Booty saved me (good lookin' out man!) from myself by correcting me in thinking the two shared a DC system (it's just the brakes). I like fast reels so it should be a perfect fit. It even matches perfectly.
Im definitely excited for it. Should be a really versatile and easy to use combo that should pair perfectly with my others. The simplicity and specifics of that particular DC system appeals to me for sure. Gonna spool 'er up with some 12# Tatsu, and intend to get a spare spool to load up w some 20-30# smackdown too for fast swaps.
