Master Bait'r

I must have missed the baitcaster section the last time I was there. I mean, I even checked the whole "Beyond" section at Bed, Bath & Beyond, and nuthin'.

OH COME ON. Get over yourself kid. Teenknowitallitis is a terrible disease, and only you can make the choice to rise above it. You said so yourself in the same breath that people do what they want when the wardens aren't around! Seriously, how you can argue both sides in the same post without even realizing it is beyond me, but color me impressed.

Nope! Too much like work lol- I would like to locate a nice small project 12' semi-v aluminum boat though. I've got a whole sheet of diamond plate and some rhino lining just waiting for a custom interior project... Now if I could just get my brother to sell me his little yard ornament I'd be well on my way down said project road.

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!!

DVT nailed it oh man I laughed. Life isn't fair. Learn to laugh about it or figure out something that does work for you. Beating your head against a wall is only going to get your feelings hurt.

See the downside to the barb is they rock plastics. If the hook is already on the line it's going to mess up your plastics which is kind of counterintuitive IMO. I like the Hitchhikers and similar add-on screw locks. Also those barb holder hooks work well with hitchhikers too fwiw.

Weightless T rigged bento minnow.

Slither k's are awesome but man my favorite color is getting hard as heck to find. You know it's getting down to it when you have to rely on misspellings in the listings to keep them hidden. This last one is getting kept under glass until an emergency lol I'm not convinced I'll find another one.

I do all the time with 0 issues. I even use a super cheap kayak too.

Lately? Duo rocks. JDM quality at around half the price of Megabass.

Super annoying trend. Drives the cost way up, and it's why I was setting alarms etc for the gill drop while I was welding in a frozen hole on the side of a mountain- I knew I couldn't hang once the flip began. I really hate that. You've got guys who had no intention of fishing it lining up just to fleece those who did and I don't like that. It's fkn expensive enough! Go get a job if you need money lol

The weedlessness of this bait makes it a whole other level of awesome though IMO. It's small enough to not need a swimbait setup but you can bump 'er along the bottom like the deluxe weedless 68s even in the weeds and grass. I have no idea why you would ever want to sell it tbh, especially this close to the spawn. You can't land your PB on it if you sold it though lol

He has to be trolling. There are plenty of great products at every price point. The average angler has never had more options and it is a fantastic time to be into fishing in any capacity. $20 baits are nice but far from a necessity. Well except for me- I needed this S Crank. Got one in Kinkuro headed my way now. Haters gonna hate.

Don't forget hudd shads and grass minnows, weedless 68s and the new gills- there's a swimbait for every budget and rod. Weedless swimbaits take a lot of the guesswork out too. Big fish hit medium to small targets too, it's all about putting it in front of them.

Yeah but you kept it so clean it looks like it could be stock. I love that. Very tasteful!

I used to use it. I still have some 4lb on an ultralight and it works well but does fray easily. The bigger you go though, the more crappy it becomes. The 17lb is like big stupid plastic cable. Super clunky and not supple at all. I don't think I'd even consider it over 6lb to be honest. Any knot besides double palomar won't work either fwiw. It's a bit slippery.

Actually yes that sounds way beyond reasonable. If the shipping is within the stated terms you agreed upon during the transaction and you still feel the need to give him negative feedback or void the sale altogether, you're pretty much the worst kind of online buyer ever to be completely honest. See, you could have just bought it from a reputable source for more money if you wanted it faster but NO, you wanted a deal- A BARGAIN as you put it- so you bought it for that bargain price BUT WAIT!! you want it shipped like the full price item even though you specifically agreed to a slower method when you bought it as per the terms of the deal you wanted and agreed to. You never even called to ask if he could expedite the shipping though, you just got butthurt over it after you thought about it too much. Now you want to blemish a 100%er who most likely sells for a living because you can't make up your mind? Great. Yeah, you do that. You stick it to him good. That'll teach him for giving you exactly what you agreed to in the first place. How dare he.

I laughed. YUKI ITO, HOW COULD YOU ENSNARE ME IN YOUR DEVIOUS TRAP I COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL!!

It's not a traditional SB but I like throwing the Supernatos now that I put cable trailer trebles on them. They're slower but they're just more fun for me. You can do a lot of different things with them that you can't do w a hard floating SB. If I like the new S Crank half as much as I think I will though, it'll probably take the "fav" crown once the ice clears.

One reason I prefer green or dark colored braid is that it shows areas that are fraying or suffering the effects of abrasion much more obviously than clear lines. It looks lighter and stands out much more. You'll see it right away at a glance. Hugely helpful in keeping the line primo.

As far as I know nobody has set a clear one-time tackle purchase record in here so far

Whatever you do don't try the grand siglett.

Well feel free to ship any of those "problems" my way, I'd be happy to hide them for you at the end of my line.

Man, the Hudd gills look even sexier next to the competition.

I caved. Y'all are expensive to hang out with.
