Glide Bait bug has been biting hard i will post pics when i get them in but i have ordered a gan craft jointed claw 178, savage gear shine glide 7" which is being custom painted in a yellow perch pattern, a duel hardcore ninja glider and 4 glide bait blanks that i intend to try my hand at painting.

 

EDIT: So my birthday is Saturday and we decided to celebrate tonight, my gf and parents went a little overboard. My amazing girlfriend got me a Rapala Canada Concept Ti basically the highest end rod rapala canada makes, it's a 6'4" M/XF which will be used for poppers and jerkbaits. i have paired it with my t3 ballistic and some 40lb j-braid. Then there are my parents, they know that i have been saving for a garmin striker plus 5cv so the decided to surprise me and pick one up, i cannot explain how stoked i am to be able to install this and map my whole lake.

 

Fresh out of the packages. Tatula SV TWS 8.1:1 and Powell Max 3d 795. Already sealed the cork with U40 and spooled up with suffix 832 50lb. Got this whole setup for what the reel retails. 

stopped on the way up north last night at my favourite local shop, passed up on an i-slide 185 in ugui.

but i did pick up a lucky craft real ayu 178 i think the chartreuse tail looks pretty awesome with the ayu pattern.

Is that the 16" Line Thru? Looks like it has the wire pre-rigged and double hook.

It is pre-rigged with the belly treble and stinger in back, but its the 10" slow sink in Walleye.

Cool, I didn't know they did that with any of them other than the monster 16" bait.

All the versions sold in Europe come pre rigged in the package, from the 6" to the 16"....

Maybe they all are now. I stocked up when they first came out and they're so durable that I haven't had to buy any more of them yet. You get some of the cool stuff there that we don't get here. I've been wanting to try some of the line thru sandeels for bass but seems they're only online overseas. They look like a really fast falling senko with a line thru system from what I've seen, could be a really deadly bait for bass.

They´re awsome! However, i´m not sure if they have the line thru concept, if they have it´s a recente thing. The ones that i bought have a jig head and a stinger on the small versions:

 

 

And a built in jig head and bottom treble on the bigger versions:

 

 

But don´t let that stop you from trying one, i´ve bought them inicially for pike and wels catfish but soon discovered that bass really like them to! Another one that i recomend you to try (if you did´nt do it allready) is the 3D trout:

 

 

I also bought this ones in the biginning with pikes, Wels and zanders in my mind but soon realized that they are a very good bass bait, i´ve caught a bunch of them on the 5", 7" and 8" sizes, no ones on the bigger 11" but i don´t have bass in the sizes you guys have.

This is actually the bait I'm talking about, the line thru sandeel. They're a pretty new bait still, so I'm hoping maybe they'll be released here eventually.

Is Epps still in the same old building? I haven't been there in close to 20 years. Always stopped and bought stuff on the way to Lake Kipawa. They had good prices even then
