Quick spinnerbait poll...
This. Or I'll go with none at all. But most of the time I want an added profile like the Strike King Blade Minnow provides (trimmed down a tad). Not a fan of paddletails on spinnerbaits at all.

SC Victory Marshal vs Shimano Zodias.
I'm not of much help, since I don't have any Victory's. But I do have this same Zodias model and it's great. The Zodias line is so underrated IMO.

13 Fishing Concept C2 (6.8:1 RH) for $100. Retail $230. Solid reel, especially at that price! https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjL8tnSioOKAxVXMwgFHY2yBwUYABApGgJtZA&co=1&ase=2&gclid=CjwKCAiA6aW6BhBqEiwA6KzDcz_ObhqeRelxrDxpjo94_5qFfzHC3nPBcbav9qZ0kjwjCo10ppwOaRoCmjUQAvD_BwE&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESVeD2Fm3cx9xMfLBGG7E9jxnUkJH05cTwV4w4OnoE0c7cQACCa70EJrIlixdM1vh_pnOqwXU1Hn28KU_mbFkQAA05N2lfRT6dIRRgajgXDkdPMe32RCA&sig=AOD64_0DhYqIfwAsKZxLIzkvqVdHfpNBFw&ctype=5&q=&nis=4&ved=2ahUKEwjVgNXSioOKAxWbmokEHYgCBwwQ9aACKAB6BQgHEJAC&adurl= Good deal, but all the non-AGS casting and spinning models sold out this morning. Still AGS models available though.

It's a sickness, I swear. My friends joke with me that I should start a Youtube channel just for unboxings, since people seem to really like those kinds of videos. In the past I've given tackle away to young kids who I see fishing at the boat launches/along the banks. I'm gonna have to up my game a little this year I think and give out more. And I agree on those black D Bombs. I fish a lot of stained lakes where black baits are the ticket.

Got a few Level rods I've been wanting to check out. Very nice rods, especially at the price (and especially on sale). They also balance perfectly with lighter reels. I may buy a few more for Christmas gifts. Then just a handful of stuff I needed to restock on and a few things I bought just because they were so cheap (and goofy-looking). A bird flipping bait and nymph by Fish Lab. The nymph with definitely work on a ned head. The wings are extremely thin/limp, which should provide some additional action under water with the slightest of movement. I do like these little no-action craws by Venture Lures on finesse jigs in the early spring. And then figured I'd try out these tiny 2" Damiki cranks, which are 50% off right now at TW.

70, 150, or 200 Reel
You can definitely throw Chatterbaits/Spinnerbaits on a 70 MGL. I absolutely love the Curado 150 MGL. I like them so much I sold the 4 Curado K's I had and replaced them with these a few years back. Daiwa Elite's are really nice as well.

14/100. The reel is also very light at 5.0 oz.

The Bait Turkey made a visit today. This thing is tiny. I'll have to compare side by side, but it almost feels smaller than my Tatula 70's. Initial impressions, I'm quite impressed. It just feels solid as can be. Very nice packaging, and comes with a reel cover as well.

Fishing jigs in grass?
No jig will ever come through grass as well as a Texas rig will. I like Siebert's tungsten pitching jigs when I'm fishing grass. IMO, the head design helps it come through the grass better than the other heads. Also, being tungsten, it's smaller than lead heads.

I fish a lot of different brand swim jigs. But the Shot Caller is definitely my go-to.

Interesting. Also of note- some items only have specific colors that are on sale, so be mindful of that once you click on them. Just to give an idea how nuts this sale is, my cart right now is at $109. The last 5 baits in my cart add up to $115 retail. So pretty much SPRO is paying me $6 to take all the rest of the baits off their hands for free. 😆 (also, not sure why my font is big/bold like this).

Anybody in the market for a 7'3 MH/XF rod, you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal than this. Chromium marked down to $87 with code BF24. Retail $300 (again, we all know how Kistler works). Shipping (to WI from TX) is $20. But even at $107 that's a STEAL. These are really nice rods. Super light. I already have 3 Chromium's and trying to convince myself I don't need a 4th. https://kistlerrods.com/products/chromium-fishing-rod

Mid- Deep Cranking Rod
The Feather's action ratings are listed way faster than what they really are. The 7'1 H/XF is a great Chatterbait rod. The tip is anything but extra fast.
