I hope so. Shouldn't be able to lose a bright green rod and bright orange reel, that's for sure!

Sail has been dumping the arashi out for a long time, my friends loaded up a few months ago

Made a run to Cabela's with some Christmas gift cards.

yup, when they dumped out the first batch of the flat 7s, my friends and I picked out all the red craw and hot chartreuse ones, and when we asked an employee to check the back for more, they said thats all they have. a month later, another batch dumped out with a few more red and chartreuse. 2 weeks ago, they dumped out more.

Remember this? I wish they can dig out a few more, I like these frogs

yep just had to preform a slight modification to those so they didn't take on water 

I already took the stuff out, but just went on a quick buying run.

I picked up the last Whopper Plopper 90 in the clear chartreuse Sooner color from Scheels today. I think it'll work really well on the Smallies on the rivers on those cloudy or choppy days when the Perch color isnt producing.

I also grabbed a few packs of Kalin's Spot Stalker jigs for grub fishing. Gonna try 1/16 oz out. Last year the 1/8 oz worked great, but occasionally I couldn't keep it up off of the bottom in the faster currents.

River smallies love the 90 here in Ohio.

Kalin's are my favorite grubs for trailers on my spinnerbaits and rigged with a Kalin's darter head. I really like the range of sizes, 3, 4,or 5 inch. Lets you tailor the bait to the basses preference.

They're my favorite too! I fish them as swim jig trailers almost exclusively. Mostly it's because they work and I haven't found a paddle tail swimbait for smallies that I prefer yet.

Yeah, it's nice having the 3, 4 and 5 inch sizes. I'd fish the 4" only if the watermelon red and chartreuse pearl came in the 4".

Nice! I had some good success on the Perch 90 last year, but I didn't fish it a ton. Still did well whenever I used it! I'm hoping to use them a bit more next year. I'm super excited to fish the Sooner color.

Swung by Dicks Sporting goods earlier and they finally restocked and got in some new gear. Picked up some J Lee comback jigs, a Rapala BX brat, a SK 1.5 and a couple packs of pit bosses. Also recieved my first order from Siebert Outdoors.

Hands down my favorite frogs, crushed a ton of 6lb fish on white during shad spawn on Fork. They take on water but so does every other top brand and I have them all.

Mail call

Pt 2

Got the first of many “winter goodies” to show up in the mail today, no bass fishing for me for quite a while yet so I guess I’ll just buy more stuff?

It got me again  I picked up my first A-rigs, found them on sale. I got one for $3, and two more for $5 each. Barely over $14 total.
