OG Crankster

3in Megabass spark shad on a Okashira screw head jig head has been doing very well for me all year.

Beast Coast is having a 20 off sale. Code LABOR20

Check your local Walmart. Mine had probably a dozen bags of them on clearance for 1.65 a bag .

Fish USA has a Tshirt for 9.99 and hats for 8.99.

I ordered some stuff on 7-14 and just like you, the next day I received my USPS tracking number. Up until this morning it only showed Pre Shipment. Well 2 weeks later, today its showing that its finally on the move. Its very aggravating especially since its very hard to get hold of any company now a days.

Pad crashers just work. Inexpensive and can buy them basically anywhere tackle is sold.

I have that 7ft 2 rod. PM sent.

Yesterday afternoon, I took a friend to a local cooling lake. We made a friendly bet on who can catch the most fish. Where we were fishing, the water temps were between 94-96 degrees and we fished for 5 hours.. I won the bet, 25-22. Every fish was caught on a 06 Chrome Rippin Rap. The main forage there is shad. Biggest fish was maybe 3 pounds, mostly dinks, but they wouldnt leave that lipless alone. This was using a cast and reel retrieve.

I wish my rod tube from Midway USA looked as good as yours. I should have snapped a pic. Mine was mangled but somehow the rod seems ok. And my other rod from Midway is m.i.a. They have zero customer service to help me find it.

I received one of my 2 rods today, in a very bent and damaged tube. I have no idea where the other rod is as the tracking info doesnt work. No one is there to answer phone calls, the live chat never works and havent received a reply to any of my emails.......

Same here. I picked up 2 of them.

Left hand Concept C reels are 129.99 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IS94ZQK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1

If I was tournament fishing, I would want the best line out there, and to me, this is Tatsu.

Search Ebay too. These are 1000 yard spools.

Tatsu. Expensive but well worth it. Best fluorocarbon that I have ever used.

I have that exact same Expride paired with the CI4+ 2500 and love it. Very light and balances well. You can easily fish that combo all day long.

I have been doing really well with a Rage Bug.

I have heard this called the Ned-O rig.

I didnt actually need it either but my local store had them on the shelf and im a sucker for a good deal.

If any of you have a Fleet Farm close by, they have a decent sale going on InvvizX. Shipping kinda kills the deal unless there is a free shipping code floating around somewhere. https://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/seaguar-invvizx-fishing-line/0000000258377?Ntt=seaguar

If you can use a tackle bag, Dick's has a good deal on a Plano 3700 bag. https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/plano-b-series-3700-tackle-bag-19ploubsrs3700bgmtbx/19ploubsrs3700bgmtbx?recid=email_PageElement_marketing6_rr_23055_&rrec=true&ctk=06162020_C_Storewide_AM_Phrasee_DSG_marketing6_rr_1499_23055&customerkey=363D8699D78BD1AA366E0D99E443390D673EF33849CF251CBE4A78A8CCC7E464&campaignid=06162020_C_Storewide_AM_Phrasee_DSG&camp=EML:DSG_PRM:06162020_06162020_C_Storewide_AM_Phrasee_DSG:Certona_Slot6&hdpid=c9c6decf-72df-4959-bde3-d38e078fd020&mcid=414385469

Scheels has a alot of Strike King on sale.

What im thinking is for 150.00, you cant go wrong.

Went to my local BPS and asked if they could sell me one at that price today and they said they couldn't. The guy told me just to buy one today at full price, then bring the receipt back on the 11th and they will refund the difference. That's what I'm doing because it's not a far drive for me at all.
