Megastink

Now that ICAST is over, tell me what you DIDN'T see that you were really hoping to. I'm talking about things that aren't necessarily real or even in the works, just something you had your fingers crossed for. Here are mine: 1) Baby Rage Bug (3") 2) Strike King 2.5 sized Wake Bait (like a 1-) 3) Lews Tournament MB in 8.0:1 gear ratio lefty 4) Strike King KVD Sexy Frog Jr 5) KVD 1.5 Flat Shallow Diver 6) Duckett rod with traditional guides, 7'10" XH 7) 3" Ocho

Some strike king cranks come with Trokars and some with Gammys. I agree the typical stocked hooks are crap, I swap mine out for Mustads. that being said, if you don't want to invest in new trebles, spend $5 on a file and touch them up yourself. Even if they come out of the pack sharp, they won't stay that way.

Duckett will be unveiling the Black Ice Rods and Series 400 casting reels. Both will be their top top of the line ($350-$400).

You mean it isn't the MEGASTICK?????????? ??????

Can we get back on track and post new products?

I'm guessing Abu is releasing a Gen4 Revo line, seeing as everything is on sale right now and it's been a few years since a Revo revamp.

I know Duckett is working on a new high-end rod, the Black Ice. Not sure if it'll be at ICAST this year or not.

Sure you can!!! Topwaters, spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, flukes, swimbaits to name a few. Not sure if jigs, buzzbaits, crankbaits have a place. florida is also FULL of smaller lakes and ponds full of big bass. You won't have to let anything go to waste.

New box?

It's that time of year!!! Post about the new baits, rods, reels, whatever you hear about. I'll go first: -Strike King Mini Menace -Strike King 2.5" Rage Swimmer -Rapala Ripstop -Shimano Curado K -*** *** reel -Lews Superduty Thats all I've got. Post what you see out there!

I sell mine. I have about 200 of them in a box. I'll probably get $40 or so and sell to someone with a trot line or a catfishermen.

You the man! Thanks!

I have the same problem. I have three batteries that last around 1.5hrs each. The Cam Do looks great, but I own a Jon boat with no USB plugs on it. I have a few small 12v batteries for my fish finders. Can I rig it on them somehow? They have Flag terminals.

Your pan fish must have been huge!

Both bottom fish are bluegill. I believe the very bottom is a make, and the one above it a female. That largemouth doesn't look very big. I hope it was the minimum size to keep.

I have a Garmin 73SV on a portable transducer mount for my Jon. I have two of these batteries: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Cabelas-Rechargeable-Volt-Battery/700551.uts?searchPath=%2Fbrowse.cmd%3FcategoryId%3D734095080%26CQ_search%3D6v%2Bbattery i use this mount: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Portable-Transducer-Bracket/699847.uts?searchPath=%2Fbrowse.cmd%3FcategoryId%3D734095080%26CQ_search%3Dportable%2Btransducer%2Bmount and have Flag terminal connectors on my Garmin: https://m.lowes.com/pd/Morris-Products-100-Count-Flag-Wire-Connectors/4618184?cm_mmc=SCE_PLA_ONLY-_-FashionFixtures-_-SosAtg-CeilingFansOutdoorLi-_-4618184:Morris_Products&CAWELAID=&kpid=4618184&CAGPSPN=pla&k_clickID=0153ede4-57c8-5c09-0ae7-000058267f74&gclid=CJOqmYDv0dQCFVeBswodb1cEpw one battery will last around 10-15hrs of fishing. I've gone on three day trips without ever charging one.

Welcome! I'm also in eastern Pa. what part are you in?

Anyone use starflash (round silicone) skirts on jigs? I've heard of them on spinnerbaits. are their pros and cons to starflash?

RIP to the Series 5XD I lost on the second cast with it last weekend.

Ive known Bobby from Megastrike since I was 14 (30 now), and used to refer to his product as "Megastink". It always stuck with me. I still use it some.

I haven't been. I spend my time in the Poconos, but I think I'll be fishing Peace Valley and Nock this summer. There are plenty of places to fish around here, they just require a bit of travel.

@ClackerBuzz let's meet up! I have a 16' Alumacraft now. Perfect for up there.

There is going to be gray area at some point. For instance, I've only made three videos and have posted two. I'm just learning editing, so I'll post my videos here for the BR community to comment. All feedback is appreciated, be it, "good job", or "I would have done this", or "try this next time". The grey area comes in the form of the purpose of the video. Mine are made to entertain with fish catches, but I also give out the equipment used so that viewers can watch said Baits in action and maybe gain confidence. Im hoping the posters AND admins can recognize the difference between the informative videos and the over zealous pro staff videos. I'd hate to see this thread go to waste.

I'll post some of mine here. I appreciate it!

This is the first GoPro episode I ever made. I made it so I could learn basic things like cutting raw footage,fading between clips, titles, overlay text. I would love to get feedback from the community. I know the audio sucks, I have the waterproof housing and I need to invest in the standard housing. I hope you enjoy the video. I enjoyed making it.Please feel free to subscribe and share. Thank you very much!
