You're Welcome - Yup. And I made pretty much the same WTH post the first time as well. As a frequent pic poster, and attachment user, this is pretty much a weekly deal for me. A-Jay

Thanks for asking ~ I've fished them a few times. Admittedly more to see how they'd run than actual fish catching, as the conditions were less than ( or more like - not close to) ideal. They run 'OK' - need to pulse the lure at the start of the retrieve to get the blades going on one bait. The blade sizes and combinations (which are different on each bait) may need a little more tweaking - to get what I'm looking for. That said, I'd expect to be able to get a few here during the post spawn and maybe again in the fall. And if & when I do, you know there will be 'video evidence' of the event. More to follow I guess.

@TnRiver46 Top left - left click your profile name then click into your attachments and check at the top of the page to see how much of your attachment quote you've used - bet your in the red. You'll need to clear out (delete) to make space. The battle is real. A-Jay

Me too. Guess we have to have one of those every once in a while. Helps keep us grounded. A-Jay

Yup ~ They come and they go. Some a bit faster than others. A-Jay

Gotta admit - The hostility, anger and condescension were something else. A-Jay

Just checking in ~ A-Jay

Lund 1875 Pro-V Bass ~ Pros - everything Cons - none. Good Luck with your decision. A-Jay

That was fun ~ 131 days A-Jay

I use this ~ And this is why Works Well. A-Jay

Very Nice ~ Seriously healthy looking dudes right there. Congrats A-Jay

@jbmaine Glad to hear you got out in time. I have used them a few times - never been a fan. Sorry, they've all earned my disdain. What Is an Agent? An agent, in legal terminology, is a person who has been legally empowered to act on behalf of another person or an entity. An agent may be employed to represent a client in negotiations and other dealings with third parties. The agent may be given decision-making authority. Many people use special agents from time to time; a real estate agent, an insurance agent, and a travel agent are all special agents in legal terms. Now the real question - how many times have we been hosed by 'agents' ? But I'm not bitter. A-Jay

@Lucky Craft Man Get a load of this crazy deal . . . . A-Jay

Some semi-lost footage right here. This action took place after I had caught & released a Giant Musky, so much of what happened after that was sort of anticlimactic. Either way, still caught a few. A-Jay

Clearly I'm bias but this rig would fit the bill. https://www.lundboats.com/boat-models/2075-pro-v-bass/ A-Jay

Nice Brown Bass ~ Broken tip didn't slow you down much Congrats on the new PB my friend. A-Jay

DUDE ~ !!! There ya go. Sweet Smallie. PB's are Always a Blast. Very happy for you. Congrats my friend. A-Jay

Perhaps a couple of rattle / lipless baits. Also a squarebill runs shallow making it shore fishing friendly. Good Luck A-Jay

Amazing Brown Bass ~ Congrats Perhaps it's time to set your sights on an EIGHT ! They're down there. A-Jay

The moment I realize pre-spawn is over . . . . A-Jay

Can't say I believe that actually matters much. That IMO is a marketing deal. Fish don't care and so neither do I. I 'prefer' most all my jerkbaits to sink slowly and usually with a nose down posture. What they do out of the pack is usually inconsequential, because after a few A-Jay tweaks, they all eventually do what I want in the end; which is fill the Frabil. A-Jay

Sending PM A-Jay

Yup - me too. And on top of that, over the past several years, I have accumulated a totally ridiculous collection of stocker trebles. All brand new, never been wet, replaced out of the pack. Assorted manufactures in sizes 6 thru 1/0. Tried to sell them here a few months back, for a nominal fee - surprised there were no takers. For the casual stock treble hook user - it's easily at least one life-time supply. Come at me Bro. A-Jay

Yup. Wore some version of these for 30 years. https://www.danner.com/men/law-enforcement/acadia-8-black-200g.html High performance in a rather harsh environment. Not the least expensive footwear but worth it IMO. A-Jay

Check out the Owner ST-35 short shanks. "The ST-35 trebles also feature Owner’s 150-degree Premium Point Position design, which splits two hook points out 150-degrees versus the typical 120-degrees between all three points. This allows the hook points to be positioned slightly farther out from your bait and help increase your hook up percentage. Opening the gap to 150-degrees also minimizes damage to your bait from the hook points, while keeping the hook points sharper over time as well. Equipped with sticky sharp Super Needle Points and Owner’s Silky Gray frictionless finish, the Owner Stinger ST-35 Short Shank Treble Hooks deliver faster hook penetration on top of their improved hook up ratio." Been using them for a few seasons now - it's a keeper. Really killer front hook for 'wider' cranks - like square bills and deeper diving bait. Pretty sweet on topwater too as long as the hook hanger is inline with the bait. If it goes side to side (many Megabass baits) - this hook will not hang right. A-Jay
