I've got an order inbound from that same seller.  Z-Cranks were my target on this order, can't beat 40% off on new baits.

Just completed the swimbait lineup, with a little help from my friends here at BR. A trade here. A couple nice flea market moves, and the under 4oz bait category is covered. 7'11" Okuma Guide Select, paired with a Shimano Calcutta 201B. They make a lovely couple, don't they? In a couple weeks, my dream rod from DVT will be done, and my 301 will have a home. MAN,  it's gonna be a cool year!

Also been adding to the crank and topwater game. I gotta say, I like the looks of these new Koppers squarebills.

And some Shellcrackers (Thanks, D!)

And some more mid-weight stuff for the new combo

A couple heavier entrants into my arsenal. Still looking for a Roman Negotiator or Trick, 8" Lunker punker, and a Bullshooter 160 or 190, but I still got ice, so I still got time.

Went out and bought 3 Shadow Rap Shads today. They look nice. Hopefully they catch fish.

Man I would love to try one of those huge rainbow swimbaits in the local ponds after they stock it with trout, but I do not want to pay what those lures and the rigs that throw them cost!

Maybe I can buy a frozen trout at a fish market and add some hooks? :ph34r:

That might work but there are a few things to consider legally before you do.

 Any fishing in MD public trout waters requires a trout stamp ~ even if you're bass fishing.

Also, when bringing in a commercially purchased dead trout to use as bait, if it's under the states legal size limit, you may have a difficult time proving to a DNR official that it was not caught there. 

btw -  for $25 a Huddleston 68 is a great mid size trout bait that catches big bass.

Gah!  He got me again with that 40% off!!  I don't feel bad though- anytime you can pick up 110 jrs in  those sexy limited hakusei glitter patterns for ~$12 you just do it and don't ask questions haha...  And of course you HAVE TO buy a couple to capitalize on the cheap shipping ;)

Hah, well clearly I would keep my receipt to show the officer.  ;)

I have been, with some success, fishing the 4.8" Fat Impacts in the stocked ponds.  One of those on an 1/8oz underspin is about as heavy as my current rod arsenal will let me go, unless I brought my surfcasting rig into play.  Seriously though, that Huddleston is more reasonable in both weight and price then I expected.  However, I am still inexperienced enough that my lures still end up in trees often enough that I would be afraid to toss something even at that price.  But maybe next year I will up for something like that.

Haha how many does that make for you now between today and yesterday?

I got 3 trick darters, 3 vision 110s and a pop max and I think after shipping it was like $75

 

And cant this sale just end yet!?!? Gah I keep going back and looking at them!

  • Super User

Well, on the other hand, we all own a whole lot of stuff that hasn't worked out so well. I don't understand why EVERY fisherman would not own ALL of the lures that are claimed to have won a Classic. How much can they suck?

The bait monkey has sworn me to secrecy ;) 

 

Got a good stash of trick darters and 110 Jrs tho.  Picked up some backups of a few of my favorite patterns and a couple new guys too. Sticking to just my absolute favorites though-  I can't mess around, I'm outboard motor shopping this week!
