What happened to all the 20% off codes they were running back in January - March? Now it's only 15%.

Nada, that just brings you to Dick's site.

Same here, I didn't get the email either!

You may also want to try the ExoSwim by Biospawn. I've heard really good things about them...basically a cheaper and tougher/more durable version of a Fat Impact.

https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/catpage-XZONEBAITS.html?from=basres This is like a giant 6" Brush Hog! I've heard from a couple of people who have thrown these and they really like the bigger profile, say they move a lot of water!

I haven't gone yet...been able to find an excuse not to go for now...lol. I honestly don't like it there, way to hot and humid for this Northern boy but I'm sure my luck will run out and eventually I'll be forced to go for a couple of weeks .

Also, does mirror tint make a big difference?

Okay, which color lenses do you use for fishing sunglasses, amber, grey, blue, yellow, copper, green or other? I need the fit-overs that go over prescription glasses and so far the Cocoon fit-overs look the best to me both quality and price. On their web site it appears amber is the most popular color choice for fishing.

I don't have any experience with the 120 size but the 168 size works great on a heavy rod with 50lb. braid...that's my setup exactly and it looks so real swimming back in that it's hard to believe it's a lure...lol.

They said it starts this Friday 5-25-2018. It's 15% off your entire order and if you're ex or current military you can stack your 10% military discount on top of the Memorial Day discount for a total of 25% off.

Maybe I misspoke...I should have said frequently as I've seen them for around $90 several times...just sayin' don't be bummed if you miss out on this sale a they can be had for that price on eBay fairly frequently.

You can find Tatula CT's on eBay for that price any day of the week.

yes, I guess I should have been more specific in that I was talking about Spike It pens and JJ's Magic which I have.

Yes, I called and confirmed this. The normal 15% Memorial Day discount AND the 10% Military discount can be stacked ONLY during this sale!

Does anybody know if Tacklewarehouse typically runs a Memorial Day sale?

Okay, I know this rig has been around a few years but I'm just showing some interest. What size/type of hooks are best? What size nail weights are best? Can regular stainless nails be used instead of specific nail weights? I would be using the 5" Yum Dingers as my bait. Is this a slow or fast technique? Thanks to any who reply!!!

For those of you who use something like JJ's Magic or something similar to custom paint your soft plastics (no Zman...just say no...lol) what do you use to paint them? I've heard some people use q-tips while others use actual paintbrushes...just wondering if one method is better than another as far as results and being less messy?

I have the 128 size in Ghost Minnow, got it over the winter months so haven't been able to try it out yet but it looks like a winner to me :). I got mine for $10.29...if you'd like to know where just PM me as I don't want to mention them in a public forum as they are either not a sponsor and/or they have asked BassResource.com not to be linked with them at this time.

Got some speed craws, rage tail menace grubs and some sweet beaver 4.20's already...just lookin' for a couple of creature (multiple appendages)baits to round things out .

This ^^^

Most of these baits are the usual suspects (with a couple exceptions) but I'm really surprised that no one has mentioned Reaction Innovations Man Bear Pig, they seem like a hot bait but of course that doesn't necessarily mean they are good as they could just have the most hype dollars to spend.

I am guilty of this on occasion .

Okay, probably this has been done to death but there are also probably some new baits to hit the market that deserve notice so that's why I'm asking. I know most creature baits derived from the Zoom Brush Hog and Baby Brush Hog but are there any out there that you would consider a definite cut above the rest and why?

Of note, most of the "alternatives" while excellent baits ARE about twice as expensive on a per bait basis (X-Rap's around $8 - $9 vs. the others around $16.99) so if price is a factor it's hard to beat the X-raps!
