I took advantage of the Omnia Fishing sale and got some Berkley Stunna jerkbaits and the new Berkley Gilly.  Anyone have any experience with the Gilly yet?

Messed around with it. Haven't figured out how to efficiently use it yet. Rigging was a big hurdle for me. They certainly move different than anything I have ever seen though. 

For crying out loud, the Upgrade Electronics Monkey got me again...

I can't resist, these units are cheap right now. I mean its last years model, but who cares.

How much did you get it for?

I was doing really good. And then this happened

Well that postal worker now qualifies to work as a baggage handler at any major airline.

Yes... After my experience with TSA last year, I'll be shipping my rods for the next trip.  

 

Thinking UPS is the route I will take as they have delivered several TW rod orders with no issue (knock on wood).  My only broken tube was via USPS.  Pretty sure they tried to run it though a conveyor belt system ??‍♂️

Now you're doing really bad!  Congrats on the good stuff!

I've yet to have a rod broken in transit...and I've had them shipped all ways - UPS, FedEx, USPS...

I've been quite lucky up until now. All my other rods that were ordered online over the years have come via UPS or FedEx. This is the first time using USPS. So far, they're batting .000.

I see a lot of people rig it from the side. Either with a pegged bullet weight or weightless. It still swims vertically, but when you kill it it falls down on it's side, looking like a dying gill. 

 

 

 

Well I believe I have a disease or something!  Went to the local shop after work (why does it have to be so close to work?) and proceeded to spend almost $200 on soft plastics for drop shot fishing.  Yamamoto Shad Shaped Worms, Jackall Crosstail Shads, Baby Z too, Half Shells, and a few other soft plastics.  Also some small swimbaits to throw when the water opens up and is cold.

These will serve you real well - my all time favorite DS bait.  Nose rig them, flat side up.  Get bit.

Hmmm that color looks familiar also!  haha

I went up to the BPS near my house to pick up a couple of the BPS 370 tackle boxes.  I'm reorganizing my workbench and those are great for storing hardware in.

Since I was already in the middle of the fishing dept. I decided to look around, and ended up buying a green pumpkin and a black/blue Strike King KVD swimjig.
