    This is an extension from the 'Picking Out New Baits' thread in which I said my wife and boy were bass bait shopping for my birthday.  They done good.

I have a dsg gift card burning a hole in my pocket. Looks like I'm getting a couple shadow raps.

Most if not all DSG are running 25% off (or more) clearance items. The DSG I stopped at had Shadow Raps on sale for 6.97. (5.23 after discount)

Finally tracked one of these down. The E5's are getting harder and harder to find.

Got part of my TW order in today!  Had to get it sent to the office to avoid any divorce proceedings!

I liked the first Lew's Team Pro Z so much i went ahead and scooped 2 more!  

And on a side note, TW was not 100% accurate with my order for only the first time ever.  However, no big deal.  I ordered a black fuji keeper, they shipped a blue one, no biggie.  To offset that small mishap, they went one mishap further and threw in a Z man Project Z chatterbait that i did not order!

Is that the green pumpkin shad color? I always kill them with that color in ponds where they feed on bluegills. 

I had to grab a couple of the Yo-Zuri baits last night. Only got 3 but as my crank box is almost all Rapala I figured I should take advantage of the price to try some different brands.

Wow, I've ordered from them countless times and have never had a missing, wrong color, or addition ever.  Even the best slip up no and again.

tell me how you like those clone fry when you use them I bought 3 pks too...

The clone fry isn't nearly as good as the I-shad or Cross tail shad.

I don't like them.  If you're looking for a minnow, the bento minnows are where it's at.  I've been through several different kinds and the bigger bentos just crush it.  The little reflective fiber strip in the middle not only looks awesome but when you put a hook through it that mutha is flat out not coming off.  Great on t-rig, great on drop shot, Ned and pretty much anytime you want that baitfish pattern.

Buzzed bait the best presentation is in a display glass. The plastic is quite stiff and offers little movement especially at rest. Despite the additional length and eye the bait isn't anything to get excited about IMO. Perhaps they will bring better luck to you. One of the only dropshot baits I would never buy again and I am a huge Jackall fan.

Last little box came in, finally going to try some JJ's magic.... 

Also received a 6' MH lucky craft rod and love it!! New rod for smaller jerkbaits and small topwaters. Very nice clean looking rod, especially for the $50 sale price I bought it at....

I didn't realize there was a support group! Thanks. I just traded for a left hand smoke bc and a cumara mf rod.  I have fished righty for years and only use big baits.  This has got to stop! 

Hi my name is Troy and I'm a fisherman.  Its been 32 days between purchases and this trade happened.  I don't use quantum reels or left hand  retrieve 

Lmao the combo is sweet I'm going to miss the coat rack exercise machine I traded. 

Another good week for baits !

What's the one in the middle?

Bought a MH 7' Shimano Clarus spinning rod for $100 (had a $25 gift card to use with it).  Looks nice and can't wait to see how it compares to my HMG Fenwick spinning rods.  

 Also felt very weird looking at nail polish and buying a bottle but - I'm going to try and paint my led bullet weights for the clear water I fish in this season and see how it works.  Oh did I feel odd looking at that stuff at Walmart.  lol.  

Went to Ultimate Fishing Show in Novi, Michigan today.  Tubes from Wayne Carpenter of Lake St Clair;  Ztech finesse and TRD worms for Ned rigging,  some Shroomz jigs for Ned rigs, Snack Daddy craws in Roseville, Michigan - very nice.  Great action.  Great price.  And a bag for bottom bouncers.  $2.   Lots of college fishing teams with own booths.  Selling their hand made jigs, worms etc. CMU in Michigan- real nice natural rubber jigs where strands stand up- wire tied strands- durable available in football, finesse, Arkie style.   $4 for 5.   Use with Snack Daddy craws.  The show was packed. KVD, Mark Martin n more.  Once a year fun.  Last day tomorrow.
