Ryugi Hook Stocker Wallet
Lots of interest in these, so here's my brief review. As a fan of minimalist JDM stuff, I've been using these for a long time. I use them on shore and in the boat. They are showing no wear. I keep these in my tackle bag. But they easily fit in a pocket...pants, jacket, shirt pocket. They come with 10 sleeves. When used double sided, you have room for 20 different items. Sleeves are thick, almost silicone feeling. You can buy extra for expanding the wallet. You can just slide in the hook packet (some needed trimming) or drop individual loose items in. I do both. Mine black one is stocked with: 4 1/0 EWG style 1 4 1/0 EWG style 2 5+ 2/0 EWG style 1 5+ 2/0 EWG style 2 5+ 3/0 EWG 5+ 4/0 EWG 5+ Dropshot hook style 1 5+ Dropshot hook style 2 10+ Neko hooks 4 RPZ Standard 4 RPZ Talisman 10+ small/medium Screwlocks Small Hayabusa Trailer Lock Medium Hayabusa Trailer Lock 2 empty sleeves. I use a white one for weights and terminal I generally keep: 5+ 7g pencil 5+ 7g teardrop 5+ 5g pencil 5+ 5g teardrop 5+ 11g pencil 5 3.5g Decoy Switch Head Various Neko weights Snaps Clips 5+ Screw in Neko weights 5+ Various Texas bullet weights Beads and Stops Open Swivels 2 Open sleeves So these hold plenty. I have never run out of a particular piece of tackle yet. These are easy to use (just open and flip through) and are compact and so far, durable. I love them. And I highly recommend. If there are any other users, please feel free to include your impressions. I've included pictures but not pictures of every sleeve.

Do they make a twist lock hook that fits the super fluke?
No, but I use the Rapid Hook All and its a fantastic keeper system.

Of course! I only recommend stuff I use. I use some fragile JDM baits, so finding ways to keep them attached (and in one piece! ) is the goal. These work so well that the whole rest of the bait will pull off and be destroyed before the part with the keeper pulls off.

Buzzbait Question
This is kinda what I do. I go fast..or slow..and let the fish tell me what they want. It should be evident fairly quickly whether they want fast or show slow, pauses, pops, etc

These are great hooks! You could also use a Hayabusa Trailer Lock with any hook...and they aren't coming off.

Terminal Tackle Wallets, What's my options?
I have the Ryugi. It's fantastic. I've seen some knock offs but they were scarcely cheaper. Also note that you can buy extras sleeves to expand capacity. If you need photos or a list of what I carry if my 2 wallets, let me know. I can also weigh them.

New Tackle Bag
While my Simms doesn't have the work station, being able to quickly spin it around and see straight into the bag is super convenient for this older guy! There's 2 small compartments and I have my Ryugi wallets in them, so getting a hook or sinker out is easy. And I use labeled, mesh bags instead of trays for finding my baits easily. I like the ability to spin the bag around so much, I don't ever see myself going back to a backpack.

Whens the last time you fished a lure for the first time and thought wow...
Been meaning to get a 77....

Circuit board bills
Have some on my OSP Buzzin Crank Heavy Hitter... They are indeed very strong for how thin they are.

I think the Flashback Mini is more special than we give it credit for. It's essentially a fish roller/hover stroller with its nearly round ball head. Which is why they include baits with Mylar and little to no tail action...because it's all about the rolling!! I put a 3" Fish Roller on and it's fantastic. Mylar Minnow is also really good.

Fixing broken bill on a small crankbait - is it realistic to do ?
Watch some builds/repairs on YouTube. I think you can do a repair! You could likely fashion a bill from an old circuit board or other item you already have on hand. I say give it a shot! A dremel cutting wheel would make quick work of the old bill. For used Grffons, check out Ichiban

I'm thinking 3.5" for Neko or Free Rig Scooper Frog?

Have tried this bait. It's pretty bonkers how hard it vibrates. Really cool bait! As for my bait? Deps Cover Scat for sure. Which lead me down the whole poop bait/mushi rabbit hole. Surely one of my most productive and enjoyable baits to fish.

Toads.
I use a Tough Toad floating toad. It's awesome! Almost sounds like a Plopper on the retrieve. Skips incredibly. Even comes with hooks. Highly recommended!

Putting Elaztech Baits in Trays
Interesting. The photo I uploaded is a Plano Synergy Edge Flex. It's full and had been that way for a year. No warping or damage whatsoever.

Good quality BFS buzzbaits
It's a great little bait! I also like buzz toad type plastics. I've personally had better results vs. Actual buzzbait. YMMV.

Harmony Fishing – Flex Keepers
They are great! You'll pull the entire bait off before the part with the trailer lock comes off... I also really like the Rapid Hook All. So simple..But it works.

I put mine in a Plano Edge and had no issues.- The Muskie Jitterbug
- Looking for a lure that behaves like a Karashi, but is slightly bigger
There are knock off versions of the Karashi which come longer and heavier. I've only bought the "original" size knock off (59cm, 5 gram) so no experience with the larger version (80mm, 11g...3/8 th) . I learned how to tie my own. And I have ZERO artsy-fartsy skills. Cheap and easier than trying to find them. I also weighed everything to make sure to get as close to origina weight as possible. - Putting Elaztech Baits in Trays
