 ITS ONE HELL OF A BAIT!

well....as my fishing buddy from my youth some 40+ years ago used to tell me....every single time out....."the bigger the bait, the bigger the fish"

Well I'm not sure what eats a 7' bluegill in Indiana, but I'm a little excited and very terrified to find out!

After accepting the fact that the 2 Wal-Marts near my house and the 3 on the way to work were not going to participate in discounting fishing stuff...I took "one last look" after my wife asked me to pick up a few things. Low and behold, I found a 6'6" MH Lightining Shock rod for $15.00

 

Needless to say I need to find a purpose/reason for it before my wife notices it. 

Hoping that these might be a good alternative to a Screamin Eagle. They seem just as compact.

 

 

Should have had this already.

Fortunately I didn't need it.

But I got it now so I'll definitely never need it.

I went to Cabela's today with a birthday gift card and some cash from helping a relative replace a power steering pump. Walked out with a Lew's Laser Pro Speed Spool SLP for $80, originally $129.99 marked down to $89.99 and another 10% off because I bought the last one (display model). As an added bonus the clerk also put the 10% off on the spool of PowerPro I got for it.

 

Only snafu is that they accidentally gave me the box and rang me up for the LH retrieve (also only the display model left) so I need to go back tomorrow and straighten that out in case I have a warranty issue otherwise I'd likely be denied.

I have been wanting to try the Cavitron's and finding the discontinued 1/8oz on Amazon Canada and on sale was especially surprising. The line I couldn't resist for $6.

 

 

I keep meaning to get some 1/8oz Cavitrons and never seem to remember. I bet they're a sweet little bait.

That's priced like Brett Hite himself hand made it, let us know if it works for you.  Didn't even know they made chatter baits that expensive.

They're that expensive whenever you have to pay for shipping from Japan

I bet, shipping in general is painfull.  That's why I almost always reach the minimum amount for free shipping, then I tell myself I'm saving money by buying more tackle.   

 

Just got a shipment in from l.a.n.d big f.I.s.h, that 20% off and free shipping got me.  Bought 75$ worth of stuff for 50$, some bubblegum trick worms, finesse trick worms, 1/16 ounce owner ultraheads, 5/16 ounce pumpked ed heads, a rapala sub walk, a #5 and #8 shad rap, a pack of GYCB Kut tail worms, a bandit 100, and a culling kit.

Hope there are no pike where you fish. Those gators are known for chewing things up.

Seems about right, since the rod they make to fish that bait runs about 7 American . . . . .

I've only been bass fishing for about a year, but I caught my PB (little over 4lbs) on this spinnerbait in the chart/white.

Yeah my wife looked at that swimbait and said nothing would bite that around here. I want to chuck it all day just to try and prove her wrong, she said the same thing about the Yamamoto heart tail swimbaits, just as I got hit on one 

Every Yamamoto soft plastic catches fish. It's not hard to prove either !

Finally found a sale at Field & Stream for stuff I actually needed. $20 for 300 yards of Power Pro, and $5 each for any Trilene XL. Also snagged this sweet Yeti thermos. 

 

I like the 40# power pro too.  Normally have to buy it online as most of the stores around me don't carry it. They have 30# and 50#, but no 40!!
