Cgolf

For me I have learned the hard way to always carry a small box with extra terminal tackle like snaps, split rings, extra hooks, etc. Also when on a trip a rod tip repair kit is invaluable, have only used it twice, but glad I had it. As far as baits always carry a box with tubes and 4 and 5" grubs, because they flat out catch em anywhere.

Totally new here, but when searching for pics of the shadow rap this site came up. I did ask Ike on twitter if this fell between the Husky jerk and the X rap and to be honest I was stunned that I got the following reply from him. (it's something really special. It's a suspending jerk with a much more sub action. On light flora it actually sinks super slow!) Sounds like a great early season and cold front bait
