I'm sorry for your loss.

I do. But I think the cork actually feels better without it.

Beautiful fish!

I placed a TW order for some Zakos and Senkos, and some of you guys over here like..

Appreciate it! So it definitely smaller than the CT. Which I figured it would be. How close is it to the 100 in hand?

@MN Fisher @bulldog1935 I've never used Amazon Japan. Bulldog, right now that Bass X reel is showing $63.20 on the US Amazon, and only $37.70 USD on Amazon.jp. Does that sound right? Is shipping usually costly enough that it equals out to the US Amazon's? MN Fisher, How big is the Bass X reel? Is it a pretty small profile? Can you compare it to any other reels, size-wise?

And a lot of their stuff is 34-38% off. Now's as good a time as ever to stock up on Yama baits.

Tell us more...you have this reel?

BTW, I should mention that I trimmed the trailer down a little. It was a little longer than I usually prefer.

I wish I just got out of bed!

Few re-stocks and a few new baits I wanna try out. I think the new Zoom Shimmer Shad is gonna be a nice vibrating jig trailer. Nothing ground-breaking. Only 5 in a pack, though. Looking forward to throwing the 6" Mulletron line-thru. If this thing holds up like other Elaztech baits, it is going to be a STEAL at that price. I'm gonna take a black marker and turn that thing into a perch. The Strike King Tungsten Thunder Cricket has such a tiny head. I'm gonna call him Beetle Juice.

Ark Invoker Pro, buy one get one free on their site. Few models are already picked over.

Don't you dare make me post that picture again.

Proven? Who interviewed these bass? And why do bass like purple? Ask this guy.

I have this rod and it does a lot of stuff well. Even weightless flukes. (BTW, the Dream is 7'0" and a M)

You want a faster gear ration then, not slower. Faster for picking up line in between twitches, as well as fishing in current if the bait is swimming with the current.

I knew what ya meant.

Man, if you're losing rods and reels, suddenly I don't feel so bad about losing Jackhammers to pike. 😅

In all my years of fishing, I have never tied on a Carolina Rig. And I don't see that changing. Ever. One technique I've used maybe once, ever, is the Neko Rig. No reason, really. It's just something I kind of forget about. I looove fishing a weightless floating worm in the spring. Zoom Trick Worm in Methiolate is extremely productive for me up super shallow,

Lots of good ones out there. This fella has become my favorite over the past few years. 13 Fishing Magic Man in Regurgitated Shad . Sadly, Rapala has bought them out and looks to be discontinuing their baits.

Listen to this guy. They don't call him Captain Big Bait for nuthin'.

Came across these. I know nothing about them. But if you're looking for cheap, insulated bibs, they may be worth it for $8. Looked at reviews on Amazon and they were overall positive. https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjdwYnntIaFAxUynloFHehJBd8YABAMGgJ2dQ&ase=2&gclid=CjwKCAjwte-vBhBFEiwAQSv_xbAd3mekq1Emp0m4zk2V4UQ0ZsHOvhYokkk3FzcviUF1l4l8X9tjYhoCgUYQAvD_BwE&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESVeD2mvrrTkn6KXdWDlnUucLg6DilRjZUezhybjxYjCAdMp9Wltowl3oa_RbBKLfEOn5RAGBfHMJlQT5j8iisXhIsnC5G1paYE-GA3zhkU4EoErYBrXI&sig=AOD64_3U52JsPGSve_zQwZSy3el-jGj3WA&ctype=5&q=&nis=4&ved=2ahUKEwjb74DntIaFAxVwmIkEHXiPBxYQ9aACKAB6BAgDEBo&adurl=

Nice. There's 3 rods available but that's not one of them, unfortunately. For $200-$220, I'm tempted to try one out.

Thinking about grabbing a few. $20 shipping is kind of a bummer, but still a good deal.
