Reload on the Flick Shakes. Managed to drop my Rcs 1000 orange shallow spool. Let me tell ya, these things are fragile. Went with a purple Rcs 1012 SV spool this round. Hopefully I can keep myself from dropping this one.

Just received this package from the overstockbait.com sale. I figured that was not a bad score for less than a $20.00 ($18.80)

Just wait until he starts reading product descriptions.  "Ooooh!  This one is scientifically made to catch more fish!"  lol

 

I just grabbed two more LC blade cross baits in 110, a 3/4oz bottom dweller spinnerbait and some Keitech mono guard heads in 1/8oz & 1/0 hook. 

 

Man I love those blade cross baits btw.  Anybody else throwing them?  They have seriously taken over completely in terms of top of the water column spinnerbait-style approach.  The 110 jerkbait-esque profile really seems to add to the "burn it on top and let the profile/flash draw a reaction strike" approach.  The consistency with which I can catch them with the LCBC has seriously impressed me lately.  The sticky trebles seem to really improve the hookup percentage, as those missed strikes on a normal spinnerbait's single hook tend to be caught by a treble or two.  Might have to use a whole pack of suspendstrips and see if I can make one a good bottom burner.

First post,

Earlier this year was in the market for a new spinning rod, and wanted a st. Croix legend tournament. Cash was tight so I got a new Abu Garcia Ike rod, for dropshot, and I love it. But just yesterday local tackle shop was have close out on the exact rod I wanted picked it up for 140, so now I need time off of work to  go fish it!! 

Love this page I show it to my wife so I can say "see babe I'm not the only one with a problem!"

I was able to snag a brand new Lews BBZ-1 Pro Series Speed Spool for around a hundred bucks. I honestly have no idea what I am going to do with it yet, since I don't have a rod to pair it with, but half price on a 200 dollar reel, "I had no choice", it was coming home. 

 

Of course now I am in the market for a rod....

Sweet deal 1/2 price is nice on a very nice reel. If you have any issues on what to do is be glad to take it off your hands and relieve you of your troubles. :D:D:D

Forgot to take pics, but just got my stock of Zman chatter baits in. 6 1/2 oz and 6 3/4 oz in multiple colors. Have to remember to take pics next time.

Picked up some Power Pro braid, spool of 30 lbs and spool of 50 lbs.  Marked down to $12 and $14 at DSG.  They rang it up at $19.99 each and I had to have them fix it.  Resisted on some scatter raps (since I don't really use them) that were regular $9.99 and on sale for $3 each if you buy 3 or more.  They also had buy 2 get one free on live target (including the sunfish).  I resisted and stuck with just the braid for now.

Above post was not what I wanted to post, but this one. When using the huddle bug on a dropshot, how long of a "drop" do you use?

i use the hudd bugs on a drop shot when targeting bass holding in grass lines so i pitch the bug into open water the drag it up to the grass so it suspends just into the grass , by working it up against the grass, i use it anywhere fom 12'' - 24'' above the weight .

Just got back from DSG and I picked up 3 pocket frogs, 3 organ donor jawbroni frogs and two Strike King spinnerbaits 

Local tackle shop, thought these were interesting so decided to give them a try.

Someone local makes them I guess, no brand name at all.

I finally broke down and bought a whopper plopper. If it doesn't work I will blame everyone on this website and hold you personally responsible for the $12.99 I paid plus tax. :angry: Also bought some $4 square bills.

If someone is making those, they're doing a terrific job copying the Storm Wildeye Shad.
