I’ve been on a dry spell but I found this last week. Any ideas on the maker? Looks familiar but I can’t place it.

Those look really nice. How do they run?

Can anyone find the Prizm shallow water lenses for Frogskins? I don't really love the normal prizm lens for water activities.

Looks like a chick magnet

I might throw some new hooks on it and try it out now. I thought it was just some old junker off brand.

Ironically I found this lure a few months ago. I never found out what brand/model.

I would try to get a Dobyns Fury 795SB. You can normally find Dobyns at 20-30% off.

It also helps to throw the balsa baits on the right gear. Really a medium light spinning set up unless you have a BFS type casting reel.

Dont pay full price for a Dobyns rod unless you just have money burning a hole in your pocket. They are on sale regularly for 20-30% off. Just be patient and ready to purchase when you see the sales. I can't mention the site, but a certain 3 letter acronym will give you a discount if you e-mail them and ask nicely. I just got 24% off a champion xp.

I have a Dobyns Champion Extreme HP 702C and use it for ned's and tubes mainly. Some light shakey heads. The sweet spot is around 1/16-1/4 oz weight. It is an awesome rod. Very sensitive with a good tip for casting accuracy. I have also expanded to using light crankbaits (shad rap 5-7, og tiny 4, small balsa) and 110 jr jerkbaits. It seems to work well with the lighter hard baits. The tip is fast but the medium/light helps a lot with trebles. I use a Daiwa SV light LTD on the rod.

I throw a lot of custom balsa baits. But for off the shelf, you can't beat the frittsides. I have about every color they make!

I use a Dobyns Champion Extreme 702c for small balsa crankbaits sometimes. They are hard to throw but this rod with a Daiwa SV light LTD throws them pretty easily and I haven’t had any issues with keeping decent fish pinned. I think any of the Dobyns 702/703’s will do the job. And more.

I can’t see who the seller is. But be careful buying seaguar on Amazon. I have read about some being counterfeit or relabeled mono.

I have one or two outings using some 8LB basix and I like it so far. Feels like higher end stuff. We will see how long it lasts and if there are any knot issues. I use palomar knots to bait/hooks. I also have some 15lb on my pitching set up. Haven't used it yet, other than a few practice casts from my dock. But again, it feels nice.

I didn't ready every reply, but you need to wire your boat properly. Every accessory should be to a breaker or at least a battery on/off switch. Your battery draining is one issue. But another issue is you are essentially charging you power pole when you are charging you battery. This isn't good at all. The circuit boards do not like this. Ask me how I know LOL.

Has anyone had the chance to give basix a thorough test yet? Would love to hear thoughts. I am about to spool up a new worm/jig combo so its between basix and invisx. I've had some griefs with red label recently.

Not the worst first fish of the year. Took me 2 skunkings to build up to this one LOL. Jerkbait. 51 degree water temp. Weight: 3.78lb.

My first fish of the year came on a jerkbait. 3.8 lb LM. Water temp was 52 degrees and slightly stained. I would start there. Plenty of good recommendations in this thread already.

Anywhere have Dobyn;s rods on discount? Looking to buy a kaden and maybe another extreme.

I found this one today. What is it?

I cranked up another crankbait today lol. Fresh Berkeley frittside 5. I was actually planning to buy this bait lol. I also caught a few fish this evening. Good times.

I love this thread. I found this crankbait back in August in about 8ft of water. I was cranking a point and I snagged a line and ended up pulling in this DT20. Now I ride my jet ski around looking for lures. Found a few way up in trees that I cannot get to. My lake is down now, I plan to take my Onewheel and ride around the shoreline looking for lost lures this weekend.

So I was able to close the deal with the guy. They are all on the way to my house now! Will post up pics after they are cleaned and spooled up. Thanks again everyone.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Yes, it is just pet hair and dust. I made him an offer. I would like to have the reels, i am a huge Daiwa fan. We will see what he says. Thanks again.

Thanks. I am actually trying to buy. Guy is asking $750 shipped. Little more than I wanted to pay but prob worth it in the end.
