Got a few dinks from shore with a drop shot at a local pond. Gonna get out again tomorrow and test out a jerk bait and a glide to see if I can get anything bigger to bite

Cox definitely tends to shrivel up when it’s too cold… 😂

Turned around quick for you!

Any luck? Won’t be getting out on the ice, outside of sturgeon spearing this year, unfortunately

Pumped for this to start back up, thanks for putting it together. Good luck everyone 🍻 The first Elite series of the year finishing on Super Bowl Sunday… bad day to be a beer and a bag of Tostitos lol

They look really good!

Well… have been diving down the finesse glidebait rabbit hole and picked up this 86 Baits Failsafe -

I dove in and grabbed a 5” KGB Chad Shad after being impressed by the new Lil Guy collab they did with Spro. I was able to get it out today for a few casts and they fish really similar (shocker, I know). The 5” has a little longer body, a slower rate of fall, and glides further side to side. The back piece of each glide is about 39mm. The front piece of the 5” is 60mm while the Lil Guy is 50mm, so that could be why it glides further.

That place looks sick! They need to bring it back.

Yea, the Grand Shad looks pretty spot on to the juvenile bluegill in the lakes I fish. The bass seemed to think so, too. I got 7 of them in an hour yesterday on it!

Got a nice 5lber on one of the last trips out of the season. Went to a little lake by the house in the kayak and got this one right around sunset tonight on a Spro KGB Lil Guy. After she fought like hell, and I missed netting her twice, I was lucky enough to get her in -

Decided to try out the new Spro KGB Lil Guy. Got it in the mail this afternoon and just HAD to go test it out. I got a bunch of them on it, including this 5lber. The action on it is really nice, and it seems like it can be fished at a variety of speeds. It is a nice little bait that I definitely feel I’ll use more than the big chad shad. It weighs in at .9oz, and I was actually able to throw it really well on my Expride 610m, surprisingly.

Has anyone tried these out?

This is great, thanks for putting this together! I'll have to do him proud

A Bantam Bass One Mag I recently cleaned and oiled up. I’m gonna put some line and test it out - inherited it from my grandpa
