I love most of the grandebass baits. I've been using the rattlesnakes for years, and the new airtail line have been productive as well.

I've purchased a fair amount of stuff in the last 2 months will try and get some of it posted, I always forget to take pics when I buy stuff. I get excited and just rip it open, but here is what I took pics of so far.

I may have a chatterbait problem...

if they catch fish, it's not a problem. 

 

I on the other hand, have major issue: 

8 reels and 7 rods. The Kastking Stealth came in on Thursday :) 

picked up a No.8 hellbent 6'6" mh/f for my jerkbaits to pair with my 7.1:1 t3 ballistic also picked up some more strike king kvd jerkbaits 2 deep and 2 standard in the 300 size

Been slacking on getting the pic posted. Rod is still in the tube. Pulled it out to inspect it and put it back in the tube. Been busy with work and getting the kids ready for tee ball. But cant wait to use this bad boy

Nothing worse than eating rock hard plastic for dinner. Might as well add some wax fruit for desert!

I do have a spool of the SX1. I'm always buying new line and don't know if I notice any difference lol. But if I have problems with the TX1 I will spool up the SX1. I have their FX2 and BX2 also spooled up on my baitcasters and not sure yet which one I prefer.

Have you tried Smackdown yet?  I went through SX1, FX2, 832 and PP...  Tried Smackdown and will never go back.  Thinner, smoother and quieter- you could upsize your # test and still keep the same diameter.  I personally doubled down & dropped my frog rod down to #40 and picked up a massive increase in casting distance.  

 

Its pretty shocking how how different it is from any other braid I've tried.  Just my .02, but man that is great line.  

found a deal on my conservation membership and got a bonus

1 shimano caius a

1 rapala xrap

1 tackle bag with 4 3600 boxes (going to use for worms and jig chunks)

1 bag of fish crisp batter 

1 spool of 10lb suffix mono

 

Local tackle shop walked in and bought them all.  Also had a few Excalibur jerkbaits but I left those for now.
