Talonman

46 Bags total...

So far I love it.... Great latches, and closes firm.

I used my flatfish in the Bordman River growing up in Traverse City Mich. The Salmon liked um when they were running... Along with eggs in small nylon bags (spawn sacks), on tiny 'egg hooks'... We would all stand on the various bridges, and when you had one, you would yell 'fish-on' and we all would reel in. Then you had to make your way around the bridge, over the guard rail, and down the 'usually dirt' bank to a net-man. Good times, and my dad would buy me hot-chocolate while we fished with the boys. I loved those cold nights fishing with my dad. Salmon in the Boardman River, filmed in Traverse City Mich Anyway, I haven't used my flatfish for years.

You get 1/2 your wish... They are now officially back out of the retired box... And going into my G2 tray, awating the arrivial of my other 3 G2's.

Today I received a few new baits... I think the new tray will be for my skinny deep divers... Rapala Shad Rap (1) Color: Gold (size 5) (1) Color: Perch (size 6) (1) Color: Crawdad (size 6) (1) Color: Shad (size 7) (1) Color: Gold Alburnus (size 7) Rapala Jointed Shad Rap (1) Color: Baby Bass (1) Color: Red Crawdad Koppers Live Target Largemouth Bass Crankbait LMB70D - 2.75", 3/8oz, 5-7ft, Floating (1) Color: Metallic Gloss Yo-Zuri 3DB Series Shad Length 2-3/4", Weight 3/8oz, Suspending, 0-6ft depth (1) Color: Prism Shad Cotton Cordell Wally Diver (1) Color: G finish Chartreuse (1) Color: Fluorescent Red/Black Limited Edition Reef Runner ( 800 Series Deep Diver ) One of 5,000 produced for the Lund Owners Club Members 10-12' Deep Diving rattling minnow bait (1) Custom Color: Lundicious Lemon Drop Not sure what the green bait is in the lower right hand corner, or the rainbow colored bait under the Lund.

I want a new Lew's David Fritts Crankbait Speed Stick Casting Rod to throw my shallow cranks like... Rapala DT 4, Mann's Baby 1-Minus Lucky Craft ( Rick Clunn ) 1.5 RT Rattle In Crankbaits Rapala Clackin Crank - 2" KVD HC 1.5 2-1/4" 3/8oz Square Bill Storm Arashi Silent Square Bill Size 03 Spro John Crews Baby Fat John 50 Lucky Craft "Skeet Reese" S.K.T. Mini MR 2" 3/8oz. For these type of baits, I want the 7' Medium rod. They are right around $100 bucks, so it wont break the bank. Be sure to check out the youtube video, I think the handle is a winner. For deep divers, I would go with the 7' Med Hvy Rod. If you can't spend BIG money on all of your rods, I think a nice cheeper glass crandbait rod is a good option.

Unknown... Can't remember what they are, but I do have two of them in there...

A fine looking ChatterBait fish wnybassman!!

That actually was an 'active tray shot', but I decided my DeepWe R was a little hard on the eye, and moved it into my 'retired box'. This is my retired box with the DeepWe R and some real old JitterBugs... The Bill Dance firetiger has a chipped bill.

So the North American Fishing Club contacted me, wanting to send free tackle for me to evaluate, then review. I get to keep what the send me. They also had a scratch off inside to tell you if you won a Rattlin Rapala, a Fisherman's Weigh 'N' Fillet Set, or $20.00 in Gas Rebates. I scratched it off, and it told me I would get all three gifts. They say don't send any money now, but after I join it will be $1.00 per month, and they will keep sending me stuff. Is this a scam? Is the stuff they send you worth having, and reviewing? Not sure how they got my name, probably from TW. I should be on their VIP list after the $$ I have thrown their way over the last few months. Thanks for the input.

I have a Rebel Deepwe R and a few old jitterbugs in my 'Retired baits' tackle box. I now am thinking to get them back out... The DeepWe R is in the bottom right cormer. Kind if hard on the eye though.

I currently have 2 Snag Proof Weed Demon's on order. (1) Color: Black (1) Color: Firetiger I would love to hear of any reviews. I needed some Walk The Dog baits, and these looked like they would do OK for me.

Well I have 10 new DT4's to fish this summer. We will see how many break...

So true my friend... The DT4 is a favorite on the Ohio board. Guess they must make our DT's better!! We dont have any bill breaking off issue... The DT4 in Pearch and Bluegill are the most talked about colors, that seem to be the best producers for the boys.

That means Brandon Palaniuk at Bull Shoals Lake, Arkansas, won $100,000 using Ike's Blue Back Herring... And now the Classic win on Ike's Demon. I guess the guy can pick colors...

I have the Megastrike Original Formula, and like how well it stickes to the bait.

I just contacted TW to ask if the G2's arrived on the 22nd, like the web page indicates... Answer: We have not received any updates from Black Dog, so the estimated arrival date is basically uncertain. So I wrote Black Dog to ask when the promised 22nd G2's bound for TW, actually will make it out the door... I also made sure they saw my 'click buy' date: Fri, Feb 7, 2014 ** Looking forward to how they respond. Update about 5 minutes later: Hi Scott, These should arrive the first week of March. Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for your patience. Jeremy My response: Thanks for the response Jeremy, It's your fault that the G2 is so popular. You guys simply made it catch too much fish! Thanks again, and love Black Dog Baits. Looks like March now on the G2's.

I believe the YESes are starting to see a comeback... Red means dead baby!

I heard on the Livingston baits that the battery is non-replaceable. When the battery dies in 2 years, the bait is just a standard crank then, with no sound. I favor the DT4 over the DT6 myself... My DT collection. Rapala DT 4 Length 2", Weight 5/16 oz, Dive Depth 4 ft, Class Floating - $6.79 (1) Color: Ike's Old School (2) Color: Bluegill (2) Color: Yellow Perch (1) Color: Ike's Blue Back Herring (1) Color: Ike's Demon (1) Color: Ike's Smash (2) Color: Parrot Rapala DT 6 Length 2", Weight 3/8 oz, Dive Depth 6 ft, Class Floating - $6.79 (1) Color: Hot Mustard Rapala DT 10 Length 2.25", Weight 3/5 oz, Dive Depth 10 ft, Class Floating - $6.79 (1) Color: Shad

Nice baits for sure... We need them in a store so i can click buy...

Nice job man...
