I haven't really fished it yet, since it's as big as most of the bass in my pond are for now, but that's gonna change really soon.

 

 

All those bass you catch and you haven't managed to put a few hogs in your pond ? !

Nah, it's a tiny puddle. Many managing it to be a spot my boys can walk to and catch a couple when they get old enough.

How tiny is tiny ? I fished one that was probably 100 x 20 feet... Not yards lol. And caught a bass out of it that was probably 16" and hadn't been stocked in years ! 

 

You could always grow some monster gills in there !

There's big bluegill in there, a half dozen nice channel cat too. It'spretty similar dimensions and pretty shallow. I'm sure they can get a couple pounds eventually. 

Dicks had buy 2 get 1 free in any combinations of their DTs, Rippin Raps, and Shad Raps. Also, they had $5 special (or 50% off) on some of their LiveTarget lures. Always wanted to try the Crappie pattern to mix it up. Tough to resist at that price point.

 

 

Took advantage of Dicks sale last week.

130 dollars of line for 40 bucks, how could I resist...

 

 

I figure each will get me 3-4 spools of line, and considering I usually change braid once a year or even less often...I should be set on frog line for the next decade lol.

Yup lol. I was only gonna get a couple as well, but then I figured I probably won't get this good of a price for a long time, might as well stock up.

Put carp in there!

I stopped by F&S last night. VMC hooks were buy 3, get 3 free. I had went in to get a pack or two of VMC Neko hooks, so I ended up walking out with 6 packs of Neko hooks. Throw in the $10 coupon I had and I was out the door with 6 packs of VMC hooks for a whopping $0.50!

Some original Lee Sisson CB's and some tungsten.

Yea, I'm pretty much helpless against the powers of holiday sales.

Let me know how you like those splashbacks. 

A new toy on the way from The Land of the Rising Sun. The one I ordered isn't wrong handed like the one in the picture though.

Stay strong my correct-handed brother.  

 

It's a fun reel, but mine had a bad pinion gear and being JDM, no warranty support.  I knew that getting into it, but it still stings a little.

I tried switching once, it was awful, and I can cast with my left hand, so I'm not really gaining anything by switching. 

 

It's a risk I'm willing to take to get the 9.1.

I have one and like it, I don't use poppers that much though, I probably should fish it more. It gives off a nice spit.

Yep, I love it, it zips line back in so fast for pitching and honestly I kinda like slow-rolling a big spinnerbait on it, there is something soothing and meditative about how slow you have to crank the handle.  I have been really really startled by a fish grabbing it a few times.

Not sure if u walk it but that's what they are mainly designed to do, like a Yellow Majic or Rico.
