Yeah I definitely need to upgrade the hardware. Also, this bone Spook also has a nice orange touch on the chin. Whether it matters or not, who knows? But I like it. (this is not my usual Spook/top water rod, btw).

This. I was out fishing in some pea soup today. Sunny skies turned to overcast. I threw a bone-colored One Knocker on and cast it up tight to the shore. This beauty approved.

I use a Megabass Orochi XX Diablo for my swim jigs. Great rod but a little more pricey than the $200 you mentioned.

Dirty Jigs Siebert Greenfish Tackle Pepper Custom Baits 6th Sense Outkast Tackle All good jigs.

I have the 6'11" M+ Adrena as well. And even tho it's rated up to 1 oz, I think that's pushing it's limits. I feel most comfortable throwing 1/2 oz and below baits on it.

That I'm not sure. I got these online.

Midsize Brush Hogs. Pretty excited.

Rage Craw.

What do you throw on your 6'11" medium+ Adrena? I bought that rod this spring. In the spring I used it for jerkbaits. This summer I've been using it for Keitech's and lighter Texas Rig (14 lb Sniper).

Right now I fish the Zoom UV Speed Worms. 6" & 7". My question is, do the Cut R Worms in those same sizes have the same profile (body girth) as the UV Speed Worms?

What jig head is that?

If you're able to get it screwed on straight (practice make perfect), screw locks are great on swim jigs IMO. Trailers lasts a lot longer and doesn't keep sliding down.

I have the 7'2" and 6'11" versions (white tip) in med-heavy/mod. The 7'2" is my dedicated Chatterbait rod. I love it. The tip lets you feel every little thing, yet there's enough backbone for when I wanna rip the bait thru grass if it gets hung up.

Can't help you out, but I know Big Bite Baits has a craw tube that's kind of similar. The claws likely don't move as much as the ones in your pic, tho.

Dicks's has Jackhammers ON SALE for $19.99! Hurry on over there before they sell one!

Placed an order on the 10th. Shipped out on the 12th. Even tho confirmation email said it would ship on the 14th.

He wasn't real long but he sure was chunky. Good luck tomorrow!

Love all the pics/stories! Keep them coming. Here's a few of the bigger bass I've caught over the past month. @A-Jay How have you fared on your rats this year??

I'm 99.9% sure your plastics will be just fine.

My local Cabela's was like this, even before the pandemic. At least now they have an excuse.

This is what I use for my deep cranking. Very happy with it. 5.1 https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/catpage-LEWREEL.html?from=basres

Have you tried punching gear? If so, are you using a heavy enough weight?

Do either of you know if the 5.5 will fit into the o-wacky tool?
