Bourbon (Whiskey) For Beginners?
Well, I’m a recovering alcoholic, but my absolute favorites when I was drinking were Blantons and Bulleit Rye.

I know every line to Forest Gump. As does my brother. Every once in a while he or I will get a random text with a FG quote. We generally go on for about an hour!!

Latest,Rods & Reels Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)
Over the last week, I picked up a daiwa arid-x combo, an ultralight combo and today ordered a Daiwa SV TW (the $150 one at scheels) and an orochi xx tour versatile. Wife is out of town and will be back Friday afternoon. I hope UPS comes in the morning 😳

SC Victory Marshal vs Shimano Zodias.
Almost bought a zodias today. Would have been able to compare for you. However, I snagged one of the MB Orochi XX Tour Versatile for $200.

Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)
Ok. Couldn’t stand it any longer. Just ordered the orochi xx tour versatile and the Tatula SV TW 7:1.1. Didn’t get the great deal from SCHEELS as I waited too late. They had marked them back up to $150. Only $20 more. The hookup had some orochi’s left at $200, so I grabbed one of those too. Both were price matched at Tacklewarehouse. Should be here Friday. Will post pics!

The latest sale thread
Yeah, I retired/disabled at 47. I didn’t get anything either, except a hard time from the VA! I’ll tell you what A-Jay. I’ll buy you a rod for being retired if you’ll invite me to come fish with you (really just want to meet the bait monkey in person)…

SC Victory Marshal vs Shimano Zodias.
I haven’t used the grunt either. My local Cabela’s didn’t have one.

SC Victory Marshal vs Shimano Zodias.
I’ve got the SC Victory Marshal. I absolutely love it. I upgraded from a broken Mojo Bass on warranty and am really glad I did it!!

Bass fishing Pascagoula River and marsh
Really? That was pretty lame 😂😂 That said OP, my aunt/uncle live(d) on the Pascagoula in Moss Point (dantzler st). Anyway, we used to travel up river to fish. I know it wasn’t far. I also know that some of the parties have “adapted” to live brackish down there, so… As much as I love to fish LMB, there is much better inshore closer. If you haven’t ever, hook into a bull red or large spec. You may not ever fish anything else again.

Small SB trailers
Ok. I hadn’t seen the 2.5” mayor. That’s actually what I was looking for. I looked at the 2.8” fat impact, but it just looked large to me. Now that was just holding one up to the package, not rigged… thanks!!
-
Small SB trailers
So I recently got into an ultralight setup. I picked up some small, 1/8 oz mini-king spinnerbaits. I was looking for a trailer for it. Seems like a 3” may be a little long? Any recommendations? Or, that small, don’t overthink it and go “pantsless”?

Newbie Fishing gear and fishing line question
If you have a dicks local, see if they have any Lews Speed Spool LFS in stock. That’s a $100 reel, some argue that it and the SLX are the best $100 reels around. I have about 4 of them. The reason I say dicks is because they are $30. Also just noticed they have a combo with that reel for stupid price too. Nothing local to me, so no dice. If they had them in stock at $30, I’d probably buy 5 or 6 just to have in the boxes!

Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)
Stopped into academy today. I was out in town and just farting around. Didn’t look at BF sales flyer, so just winging it…. All of their rods, reels and combos at 25% off. Didn’t need anything, but at 25% off, I actually think it would’ve been illegal for me to not buy? Anyway, didn’t even know Daiwa made an AridX combo. So, picked up a combo of 6’6” MF paired with a 2500 Laguna. All in, $60. Them, why not look some more? So, I picked up a 1000 Shimano Sienna paired to a 5’0” Falcon ULM. All in, $60~ish. Lastly, didn’t need any tackle. (“DO NOT BUY TACKLE”) is what my mind was saying, but my eyes were saying “that looks cool”. So, for no other reason than because it was there, I picked up a 2 pack of VUDU Shrimp. Living in N Alabama, the only shrimp we see is at Kroger.

Rod warranty
Let’s see… About 2 yrs ago, I bought a St Croix Mojo Bass for $120ish (had some GCs from Cabela’s). Broke the tip about a month and a half ago. Called St Croix - upgraded to a victory with a 15yr warranty for the same price as a replacement MB would have been, so…take it for what it’s worth…
