I've yet to try these. But I bought 3 different colors to use this summer. Can't wait.

Explain.

Jesus, just when I thought I finally had these buggers all figured out!

Hey guys, the Academy 20% off code is still good. How do I know? Well I just bought 3 more Ploppers! I think that's 8 now since the sale. (Holy emoji overload. Must have added all these when the site was down) Hard to pass them up when they're $8!

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'm curious how the carbon would feel. I imagine that helps feeling the bites more. But wonder how comfy it is and if it gets slippery when wet.

I've never heard much about these rods. I searched them on here and reviews were so-so, and from 2-3 years ago, siting shaky build quality. Doing a little more research, I've seen some better (and more recent) reviews. Many mention how sensitive they are. Anybody have any experience with these? I'm looking for a new worm/plastics casting rod and this caught my eye.

I used to always use the Johnson's Silver Minnow. No idea why I stopped, but it's been some time since it's seen the water. Would always use a Zoom Split Tail trailer on it. that thing would just glide thru the lily pads. Caught many big bass on it. I may have to give it some love this year.

Every time I see this thread bumped, I don't know whether to smile or cry.

Tackle Warehouse has, by far, the best selection of baits, rods, etc.

I have Curados and Tats. Can't go wrong either way IMO. If you go Curado, Academysports.com has 20% off. So you can get one for $145. Here's the promo code. CC201820PCT

I hate you. Check that. My wallet hates you. Got another Plopper, as if I needed more. And decided to give the Abu Revo SX a try. I've heard great things about the Gen 4 version of these. I mostly have Tatulas and Curados, but have been wanting to try an Abu for a while now. So I bit the bullet.

Yup. That's what happened to me. Part of my order came Monday and the rest today.

Is 6 amps per bank sufficient? Obviously it is for you since you're happy with it. How long does it to take to full charge your batteries after a long day of use?

OK good. I was gonna say I've seen nothing but good reviews on that Minn Kota.

Well this I don't like hearing since that's the one I was likely gonna go with. Like I said, the dual pros won't fit I guess.

OK, so I've been looking at Minn Kota and Dual Pro. It seems the Dual Pro is a little too big for where it will be mounted. The charger can't be more than 4" thick (tall). So I'm looking at these two Minn Kota's. One is a 3 bank, 10 amps per bank. The other is 4 bank, 14 amps per bank. Does it pay to spend the extra 185 for the latter? I only 'need' 3 banks, right? 2 for the 70lb thrust trolling motor, and one for the outboard/lights/graph. How much faster will 15 amps/bank charge compared to 10 amps/bank? If I fish all day, and plug the batteries in at night...lets say 8-9pm, will they likely be charged by 5am the next morning with either of those chargers? Here's the 2 chargers. Also, anybody have these specific ones? https://www.amazon.com/MinnKota-Board-Battery-Charger-Banks/dp/B0042TC5QM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1524529134&sr=8-2&keywords=minn+kota+on+board+charger https://www.amazon.com/Minn-Kota-Precision-Board-Charger/dp/B01AB8B5TK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1524529134&sr=8-4&keywords=minn+kota+on+board+charger Thanks again guys!

Bass prefer newer baits. It's a scientific fact. At least that's what I tell myself to justify all my spending.

Yup. Looks like that's exactly what happened. They shipped 10 items few days ago and the other 2 will be shipped today. It didn't tell me that on my order status when I went to the site tho. I had to call to find out.

Interesting. I used the 20% off on 4 Ploppers, and got them yesterday. I then placed another order few days later using the 20% off. It took it. Got a bunch of Trick Worms, Brush Hogs and some line. Also an Abu Revo X spinning reel. Well, I got charged for the entire order. Yet when I got my shipping confirmation email, it doesn't show the reel. It better be in there since I paid for it.

Sadly, the 20% off code isn't valid anymore. Probably a good thing. I was just about to order a 4th reel in the past few weeks. Mods, please lock me out of this thread.

Love Siebert jigs. Got my first shipment of some last summer. They were so nice-looking, I scolded the first bass I caught on one because he was so rough with it.

Pretty sure you're right.

Same here. I throw a Senko (wacky rig or weightless t-rig) way more nowadays. I keep forgetting how many fish I've caught on the Fluke over the years. It really is hard to beat the movement of that thing. And before that, the Slug-Go. Do they even make them anymore? Or before that, the Strike King Pork-O. Oh man, I used to slay the bass (and pike) with that thing. Love it. And it was pork so the durability was unmatched.

I'm a big fan of the Shadow Raps.

Dammit. Now I'm mad I bought Phantom Shad over Perch.
