KP Duty

Last day for Academy 20% off sitewide.

That bright red accented color would be promising in prespawn ?

The '16 Zillion is my jam also...just love the frame on the '16 zillion/'17 Tats versus the new lower and wider frames. I have one geary tat out of 8, but none see heavy use. IMO, geary reels should be a thing of the past!

I had to study it for a minute originally to grasp what was happenin'.

This guy is painting a picture of himself painting himself....or something like that.

Grab some instant/quick detail spray from the automotive cleaning supply section of your local walmart. Wouldn't be surprised if Meguiats or Turtle wax was the co-packer for the KVD spray. I'm using some Turtle wax spray detailer I picked up on sale. Works great.

Kinda interesting...Digitaka has these trout/panfish travel combos they pieced together on sale. They come with line and a couple of lures + box. https://www.digitaka.com/items/225/294/208/Hana's+Special+Selection+Set

In cover, straight shanks serm to get hung more than EWG's, but I don't fish c-rigs in cover. I think a lot of anglers like myself get in a rut where we are using the same atyle hook for nearly all plastics. In the 80's, I used Tru-turn hooks for most baits. Then the gammy 'offset round bend' was introduced and I used those for nearly everything. Finally, folks started using EWG's for things other than tubes, and I jumped on board. I need to get out of my EWG rut.

Nice. When Big Bite baits came out in '04 or '05, they debuted at Academy Sports and all baits were $.99 for months before going up to $1.99. They apparently achieved the market share they desired.

It's not on sale, but what a bargain! https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Manifold_Deniro_Yugo_Frame_550_Glide_Bait/descpage-MDGBS.html?from=gshop&gclid=Cj0KCQjwj_ajBhCqARIsAA37s0zHRZT7PflfTynbPbVLedYJ2hpguG-MiCFDIpRzSwpCYv5z9lZJu1EaAtdZEALw_wcB

You might catch a snooki ?. Wakka-wakka-wakka

I think the Trilene photochromic line you speak of was Trimax 2.0. I loved that Trilene Trimax in photochromic back in the day.

Zoom 6" black or junebug/chartreuse tail work ?. My llocal walmarts carry them.

I had a 7-6" flippin' stick, and added a lightweight 7-11" rig this winter. Something I never hear mentioned is how your bait is affected, as in how the rod moves the bait. When tight to cover, I want to drop my bait in the petfect spot and if not bit on the initial fall, I want to pop my bait straight up...not move it towards me like a shorter rod will do.

Yum has replaced Zoom as my favorite soft plastics brand. Why? Price. However, I still buy several brands. Ready for Yum to knock off the Z craw.

World record white crappie @ 5lb 3oz....

Loomis superstore order from black friday. I ordered 7, 12, and 18lb in clear, but I finally told them to just send me the 'invisible'. Had to get a 6lb and 10lb also. The 6lb samuri will be the thinnest line I've every used for bass fishing at .0083". Bait-wrx order... TW order...sad to see the inexpensive, yet effective bagley shakey heads go on clearance.

I've caught quite a few fish on the yozuri version thats been around for years.

'A friend' said he gets bit while picking out backlashes.

Snoop doggie...the dog.

You need to add the slider worm to your finesse arsenal. It's a 'moving bait finesse worm' that glides through the strike zone.

Slider FTW...it is a post spawn dynamo.

The imx-pro's are nice sticks....you'll be impressed. That frog rod will double as a t-rig plastics rod.

The Zoom french fry was a hot c-rig bait in the early 90's....caught me many fish.
