Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)
Very nice! Have you had a chance to fish the sv-3 spinnerbaits? I’m very interested in trying some. They seem like they have a smaller profile then a lot of other spinnerbaits. What color is the middle one? The football jig? It looks like a great bluegill match.

New Videos! Fuzzy Baits
In the video the appendages do seem to vibrate quite a bit. Interesting.

New Videos! Fuzzy Baits
I find these so interesting. I wonder what it is about the “fuzziness” that the fish like? I guess it just looks alive.

Dobyns vs Kistler sensitivity
Interesting. Thanks!

Favorite jig trailers?
Are you talking about the covert craws?

Dobyns vs Kistler sensitivity
Ah, ok. So how would it compare sensitivity wise to a champ extreme?
-
well, I have to choose a new reel. Zillion or Met (non DC)
I believe boost (as in sv boost and mag z boost) did add distance as it affects the last half of the cast. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong.

Dobyns vs Kistler sensitivity
So you’d say the expride is less sensitive? @rangerjockey

Weedy and shallow Lake Baits
Man they’re heavy! I guess I have a reason to get a new rod. What do you throw yours on?

Dobyns vs Kistler sensitivity
Would you say the Cara or expride are more sensitive than a Dobyn’s champion extreme? @GReb

Weedy and shallow Lake Baits
Sweet! I’ll have to check it out! Thank you! Edit: I’m assuming you mean the shad glide? I see an 8 inch or a 6.5 inch. Are they both good?

Favorite jig trailers?
So I’m not the only one! It just seems like craws don’t work down here. I have much better luck with beavers!

Weedy and shallow Lake Baits
What color for the worms? June bug I’m guessing?

New 2025 JDM Daiwa Steez LTD CT SV
One of Daiwa’s big selling points is their braking system. Wouldn’t Daiwa adding DC models make it seem like they’re saying “our brakes are inferior”?

Surprise reel purchase... Johnny Morris Carbonlite reel
I have a couple Lew’s that are over 10 years old and are still running great. Doyo makes good stuff in my experience. I’m sure that reel will serve you well. Post some pics!

Daiwa Steez Utility Player vs Bottom Contact Rod
I was talking to someone about the bottom contact 2 and it’s supposed to be great for throwing jigs from 1/4-3/4oz. That rod is actually a medium heavy/heavy. If you plan on throwing jigs/Texas rigs in the 1/2-3/4oz range I would think this would be a great choice. I have no experience with it though, so please don’t make a decision based on my opinion alone. My one hesitation was that apparently the bottom contact 2 isn’t up to pulling fish from heavy cover. I was/am looking for a rod to replace my Dobyn’s champion extreme 745 and was recommended the power pitch instead.

Alex led me to this:
Thank you! I’ll definitely get a few different colors. I think I’ll try the Chartreuse just so I can see the bait and make sure I’m working it correctly.

New 2025 JDM Daiwa Steez LTD CT SV
Why on earth would they do that?
-
I get it now
Anyone ever fish these on a non bfs baitcaster?
-
Alex led me to this:
Very interested to try this. Figure I’ll use it on my senko setup. A 5” senko weighs 3/8oz. I wonder how much these plastics weigh per size. I’m trying to figure out what weight head I should go with and what size plastics to go with.

Frogg colors
Interesting. Do any of your green/brown frogs have white bellies?

King of Lipless Crankbaits
Haven’t seen anyone mention the spro aruku shad. I don’t fish a lot of lipless crankbaits here, but I have a few rattle traps, red eye shads and a few spro aruku shads. I’d say I like them all equally, but take that with a grain of salt as I don’t fish them much.

New 2025 JDM Daiwa Steez LTD CT SV
To me it looks like a steez ct sv tw with a more bfs oriented spool. Am I missing something? How long ago did the steez ct sv tw come out? Doesn’t feel that old to me.
