Wow that fish looks blind in that eye yet still healthy enough which leads me to believe Doug Stange is right when he preaches about the lateral line in addition to bass’s other senses. Also that’s a beautiful picture from what I assume is the marina parking lot.

Needed a new scale....

river2sea tactical wake from the TW double dip sale just arrived

My order arrived today. Helps that their warehouse is only about 4 hrs from me. So, UPS ground is actually next day. 
 

Quick question though - what sized hooks did you get? All the literature and even the box said 2/0. However, they don’t fit my runcl hook covers for 2/0, so I’m thinking they may be 3/0?

Yeah, but that thing can weigh a fart down to a tenth of an ounce.

I want one but can't decide between chrome gill or rainbow trout

I think I'd attach some kind of floating buoy to it just in case it went overboard.  Sort of like you see with the boga grips.

looks to be 2/0 4x wire as advertised, they're the same size as a 2/0 owner st-36 just extra beefy. I have noticed treble covers are a lot more inconsistent than hooks themselves.

LOL! I was planned on also getting SC minnow.  So I do want two...just can't decide on the lighter color.  I mean heck, they are basically 50% off...

Well...

My chrome gill came in today and let me take a word from when my 29 yr old was younger…it’s fire!

 

Gonna throw it at Wheeler Lake tomorrow. Pretty excited…

So I think I got an ok deal on these. A couple of weeks ago I won an an online auction for this LC topwater pack. After taxes fees and shipping it was 47.36 so 4.31 a lure. This will really put pressure on me to up my topwater game. Few more items later from my weekend trip. 

So part 2 I picked up some stuff at R & R sports in Bettendorf Iowa. This is the second time I have stopped and it is a nice shop and also caters to the hunting crowd too. 1 pack of 3.75” swim on in sunfish swirl, 1 4.25” swim on, and 1 craw tube in tilapia. I love that craw tube. I needed a water red tube with the ribs, used to use the old Trigger X tube and bought a 100 pack last year figuring worst case I cut the craw bits off. Never needed too, the tubes were dynamite. 
 

I do really like the colors on the soft swimbaits, PT Shad. A little bummed they also didn’t have it in the smallest size. 

Stopped by a local shop today and was surprised they had some stuff from Evergreen.  I can't believe I bought a rat.

 

 

I also picked up a new knife to use on the kayak. It's a Kershaw Auto cleaver. I found a really good deal on it. It's probably the highest end knife I own. Once I held it in hand, it just felt right.

Thank you.  Was looking at an Expride...

The bait monkey showed up at my door due to you guys posting all these sales. Everything I purchased was 25 to 75% off and you guys still cost me $370!

 

I can't wait to get home and check it out. Two more hours!

Well here is the haul.

Stocked up on a few more TW exclusive black/blue Jackhammers. They're my new favorite. Got more Vapor Shad's. The Hematoma Red Glitter color is different. The blue in it is translucent.

 

 

 

 

 

I notice Berkley isn't making the Powerbait Bunker Hawg anymore, so had to stock up on some I found. Will probably get more. They have the MaxScent Creature Hawg now instead. It's almost identical, but it's $3/pack more ($6 vs $9) and comes with 2 less baits. The Bunker Hawg is one of my favorite punching baits, even though it isn't overly durable. 

 

 

Took advantage of Dick's buy 3/get 3. $5 EVOs is a steal. I should've got even more.
