Hard to beat a Curado 200 for a frog reel. Look for a used one.

OK I'm so glad you did this on purpose. LOLOLOL I went straight to the pictures and it's the first thing I noticed.

How do you guys store your hard swimbaits? Soft are easy as you can just keep them in the package. But hard are a little more difficult, especially those with say a brush tail. Don't want that getting damaged. Thanks

Anytime you see the word "DROP" expect to pay a bunch of money. Don't ask me how I know. 😢

Let us know how it performs for you. I wouldn't mind something similar myself.

Between family members, friends and clients, cancer is getting so dang common. We are clearly doing something we shouldn't be doing. I'm not spraying DEET or anything similar on my skin. DEET sounds "cute" and not harmful, but diethyltoluamide sure doesn't. Ain't no way.

What do you consider better?

Shower Blows.

Let me introduce to you the Megabass P5.

As far as big ticket items I've already bought enough for the year 2025. If I change my mind, I'll have to run the numbers and see if it's still worth buying direct from Japan. Even with a tariff, you are most likely still saving money. I don't really NEED anything right now. WANTS can wait if needed. Time will tell.

When it comes to looks? Night and day.

Been there done that except with a Vision 110. It's just water right?

I just know I've heard the X Bites is the perfect finesse jig rod. Throw that Daiwa on there and you might have an amazing Smallmouth jig rod. Not sure if you have any P5's yet but I'm a HUGE fan. They run circles around NRX+'s.

Bro! You talking about the Bullhead capital of the world? I went there when I was a kid. I've never seen anything like it and probably never will again. Had a fish every cast.

Have you thought about the X Bites? It could be perfect for what you are doing. I have the reel, have two actually. No complaints.

Best time to find fish as they are more concentrated.

Hey I'm in Iowa and fish small waters, 3 lbs is big to me!

I'm pretty sure I've said the same thing more than once. Especially when there's enough water clarity where you see them hit it.

Starting off with a 3 pounder is a heck of a start. Congrats!

I think Bama fans wished that too! LOL Heck, he was already on the Hot Seat last year. Not an easy job trying to follow one of the best ever.

35k is a stretch. The number of tickets scanned vs the number of tickets announced is way lower. They are a pathetic fan base. And speaking of pathetic, that Nico kid ranks right up there.

Seinfeld fan??????

You'd have to be incredibly stupid or incredibly brave to noodle. I ain't either!

I'm in the no chemical club myself. I absolutely will not wear any bug spray. I'll wear long sleeves and a face net if I have to. Same with suntan lotion, don't like wearing it fishing. Even on a hot day, I'll have pants on and a long sleeve shirt. I probably need to buy a floppy hat though.
