I wear Costas. I got them at a local eyeglass store. The only issue I had is that they didn’t include the authentic costa lens for the prescription. Ok, not a big deal, I THOUGHT. After about 6mos or so of wear, and I’m a heavy user either fishing or calling baseball games. Probably 6 hrs or more a day in the summer. Anyway, the frames were “stretched”. A few months later, the nosepad stated deteriorating. Off to the Costa warranty (which is great BTW - I’ve used it a few times over the past ~20 yrs of wearing costas). I had to take out the prescription lenses and replace with the original lens and send them back. The only place you can get authentic Costa Lenses are through Costa or LensCrafters (or at least that’s the way I understand it). All that said, I don’t wear anything but Costas. They are just the best sunglasses FOR ME.

TW 20% off Strike King select lures. Landing page shows redeye shad and tour grade spinnerbaits. Didn’t click to see what else.

OMG - why did you post that link. My wife just cussed me out…

I don’t budget anything. Maybe that’s why me and the wife don’t talk much? Just kidding. I only have a tackle budget, but that’s just a SWAG. It usually is a moving target. I am a kayak fisherman, and I don’t travel far, so it works out pretty well. That said, if anyone wants to fish the N Alabama area (Guntersville, Wilson, Wheeler, Pickwick) and wants someone to buy some gas, hit me up. Im always up to help put gas in someone’s boat for a day of fishing and new friend making! I’m always telling my son “hey that guy has a boat. I wonder if he wants a friend?”

So I need someone that is like the master of a Lowrance hook unit. You know sometimes if you look at guided fishing trips, they have a “learn your electronics” package. That’s what I need. I need “ok dummy - turn it on” as a basic starting point. DM me please if you fit this bill.

Haha - thanks for the clarification! I figured that so…

Color doesn’t matter to me. But, according to my wife, all I do is collect them anyway! The bait monkey and my wife aren’t on talking terms currently. So, I might as well know the color.

Back in stock if still interested. I don’t throw a left handed reel, but for $98, I might try to adapt. I don’t have any Abu stuff, just Shimano and Daiwa.

I wanna be A-Jays friend… What is that color BTW?

So, was out yesterday throwing an RK55. I tied it on (brand new out of the package) and tossed it a couple times to get everything dialed in (8’ out from the bank or so). Then, I go to actually cast it. I sling it out there like I have done 100s of times. Well, for whatever reason, the bait went much further than my line. I’ve thrown off lures before, so aside from a couple of cuss words, I just reeled in so I could retie. When I got it back in, I realized that the lure completely flew off the keeper that is molded in that holds the split ring. Talked to SPRO this morning. They said send it back and we’ll replace it. After a few emails back and forth, I’ve got it squared away. Anyway, the main point of the post is this… as part of SPRO customer service is they replace the bait with the same one and throw in an extra one. So, for one defective bait (that I don’t even have) I’m sending back that’ll cost me whatever a stamp is now days (like $20 or something…) and I’m getting 2 back. Another reason to buy more SPRO.

I’ll have to try that. I’ve only ever used them as trailers, to which I believe they are awesome! When I’m in/around Chattanooga, I’ll stop into Hog Farmer and stock up.

I haven’t found a use for the 3.5” spunk shad. What are you going to use it for? I’m guessing I could throw it on a chatterbait mini?

I’m in. You had me at Donut. Where in Knoxville? (I’ve probably tried them all - I like donuts)

Umm, I’ll buy gas? 😂

Thanks - will DM you next time I know I’ve got a trip coming up.
