TNBassin'

They are actually called Structure Bugs and are a Rage Tail bait. I got mine at BassPro.

What is the reason that they didn't offer this right off the bat? I don't get why us lefties have to wait for certain gear ratios.

Glad to hear the Rage Bugs are working well. I just bought some to fish on a hard head in place of the biffle bugs. Hope to try them out next week.

I don't think I've caught one bass on the fall with a swim jig. I use KVD swim jigs with Rage Grub trailers. I slow roll those suckers and get bit like crazy in the spring here.

Grab a Crucial, especially now that the current model is on clearance.

Has Shimano released any info on when the Curado I will see a lefty cranking version? I think I'm ready to dump my Chronarchs, but I don't wanna be without my cranking reel. I didn't know if Shimano mentioned a date at Icast. Anyone have any info?

Found a cool pic of the new Skeet Reese reel by W&M. It's said to be priced around $150 which puts it into that Tatula/Curado I territory. Looks pretty sweet.

Stacking is something I should do more on my home lake. Thanks for this thread.

Are the fish suapending at that depth or are they holding to structure/relating to the bottom?

Neither did TackleTour.

I love split grip rods, especially if they have EVA on them.

I'd rather it be over cast than sunny with blue skies.

Go with a Curado or Tatula/R. After the debacle I went through with numerous Gen 3 Revos, I wouldn't recommend their gear to anyone.

Especially with the Curado I coming in to such overwhelmingly positive reviews.

6Seems that even though Boyd got dropped by Abu, he was still a fan of the Gen 3 Revo's gaudy accents. U G L Y reels.

A crucial on clearance is the best bang for the buck IMO right now. I'm looking to ****** up 2 more before the stock dries up.

Uh oh. The forum boss is here. Shape up guys.....

GQ is right lol. Abu's commercials aren't bad imo, but their youtube promos suck. Wheeler and his look/style doesn't appeal to me as a fisherman. I appreciate their modern approach to marketing with their commercials, as everything seems pretty futuristic and well done but Wheeler and his faux hawk and thumb rings? Lol. Nice image Abu.

All of my Oakleys have black iridium lenses and are polarized. That lens color offers the best protection from the sun for me.

If I'm on the boat, I always wear shoes. Got some nice mesh Under Armour shoes that keep my feet cool, and if I wanna beach the boat and hop in the water to cool off for a bit, they dry very quickly.

Abu and Andrew Wheeler's faux hawk have always been over the top. I hate how they market their gear.

Am I the only one that has DSG that DOES NOT have any fishing gear?

I'd download Shimanos baitcast reel maintenance guide off their website. According to Shimano, the brake PINS and BRAKE RACE should be light oiled. But hey they just make the reel so...

Hope the Veritas 2.0 has better QC than the original. I've never owned a rod that was so hit or miss with guide placement.
