Picked up an 8-inch shad colored magdraft, 3/4oz punching jigheads, PowerBait pit bosses, and 20-pound Suffix mono. I can't wait for next April. All from my local tackle store, Baitwrx. It's easier to get in and out and find what you need than going to Bass Pro.

Acquired a couple new glides while the website was down. A Biggs Cetus and a KGB Prince.

Glad we’re back! I haven’t had a clue who to show my new stuff to. The soccer moms don’t seem to care as much as yall, and my wife for some reason wasn’t stoked for me showing all the other soccer moms “my haul.”

Here’s a couple over the last couple work trips (gotta work in we’re with a good tackle shop, right?)

Oh, I did have one big score while we were out....

First, my daughter and I went fishing and on the way back, a cheap spinning rod got slammed in the truck door and it broke her little heart.....so the only logical thing to do was tell her "don't worry sweetheart, we can find a new one no problem." So we start looking around, scoping out marketplace, etc., and finally stumble on a guy getting rid of a bunch of St. Croix rods. He says he's just changing to Lews and the rods seem to be in good shape....I ended up getting 3 mojo bass rods + a Kistler Series 1 2000 reel for $225....I'll take it.

Where’d you get the guttertoads?

It didn’t happen if you don’t share a photo of your purchase 😉

I think I snagged them from one of the Working Class Zero drops. I haven't even had the opportunity to fish them yet, but I'm excited to.

I just grabbed 2 packs of the 5” packs today on their drop…well, my wife did - I was on the baseball field.

Man I like the micros, but i don't know if i like them like they fly off the shelves on drop day....i think they are great, sure, but they really hit the marketing jackpot on the drop game...just my two cents (but I still get all the drops and fish most of them...lol)

My wife said the same thing. Grabbed some citizen micros from THU last drop and then signed up for WCZ emails. I’m waiting on some more battles shad to drop…
