buzzed bait

was working near cabela's today so i thought i'd drop by.... glad i did! got 7 packs of 3.8" Sizmic Grubs all in white crystal color and picked up a medium diving Evergreen crankbait. All that for a $10 bill plus 4 pennies!!! i mean at that kind of price you basically have to right?

This is the shallow one. Works great for the amount of terminal tackle I keep with me.

this is the 3700 size and TW list the dimensions at: 8.5" x 14.25" x 2"

man that sucks... and knowing you, i'm sure you had a few reels you could have mated with that nice looking rod!

Spent some time yesterday organizing all my terminal tackle in a 3700 size bait coffin box i got last week. i used the label maker and went to town on some organization. this box is pretty awesome. all the dividers were pre-cut and already in place. the slots are just the right size to keep everything in there yet separated. only 2 cons really. it's a little heavy (but heavy duty) and it's pricey. BUT, i like it, fits my needs and helped me get everything in order so i'm digging it.

that's awesome clayton!!! congrats!

i don't quite follow, but most especially the river part.... lake temps around here right now are about 90 maybe slightly above, but the river was 70 on sunday. so you're saying they're stressed in 70 degree water?

7.1:1 for me as well

yeah it's part of the game! they stick to everything except the fish sometimes. and sometimes they won't come out of the fish!

that's quite the find there sir! and free is my kind of price!

Yeah that's more than I wanted to spend for sure. I didn't think I could do it, but figured I'd ask anyways!

Is it possible to put a swept handle on a reel that didn't come with one without also having to get a new/different drag star? as in a curado 51e or a curado 101b specifically. can i put another shimano handle on them say from a ci4+ or a curado 200i or a metanium xg for instance? thanks!

hahaha that's good!

man that sounds like fun!

and another one came in to the office today.... air craws, frogs, grubs, 1/4oz mini spinnerbaits, deep crank, rattle holders and decided to try the bait coffin out for terminal tackle...

i fish mine on straight braid

mine has done the same thing, but i stored mine in my garage so i just chalked it up to the hot/cold

ordered this on monday afternoon and had it in my mailbox on wednesday afternoon! fishingskirts.com is quick about shipping! skirt tabs, mushroom rattles and some 1/4 oz swimbait heads

WOW!!!!

that second fish is a hunchback!

I know you can operate the Carbontex either dry or greased. I'm wondering what the opinions are for either way and why? Thanks!

i think it applies to both for Raider....

most of mine have been fine from online retailers, but BPS actually was the worst. they just stuck a rod in a cardboard tube and shipped just like that. no cover, no bubblewrap, no taping the handle.... nothing. of course that rod arrived with the insert missing from the tip guide from bouncing around like crazy.

regular tatula, never tried the XT used to have an avid, but sold it. i'd take a tatula over the avid every single day.

tatula for $110 = no brainer. i have the 6'10" MH/F casting rod and it's one of my favorite rods i own. i've tried some other ones with thoughts of replacing the tatula and each time i remember just how much i like that rod. it's just a phenomenal all around stick and worth every penny of the $110 you can find them for right now.
